GPS Receiver and Antenna (IDNGPS-200)
The GPS receiver records the current vehicle position and velocity using data from up to 14 different satellites. It sends information to the Recorder high speed CAN port up to 20 times per second.


Temperature Sensors
 
Fluid Temperature Sensor (SENFT1)
This small size water or oil temperature sensor is resistant and can be used to measure fluid temperatures ranging between -40°C and 150°C. The thread standard is 1/8” NPT.
 
Thermocouple Module (MODTMx)
The MODTMx provides cold junction compensation, amplifying and linearizing electrical signals from J or K type thermocouples. It can be used for various temperature measurements, such as exhaust gas, cylinder head, rolling tire surface, brake rotors. It is available in three temperature ranges : -100° to 300°C, 0° to 500°C, and 0 to 1000°C. Refer to the thermocouple datasheets for further details (TCKEGT, TCKSTK and TCKCHT).
 
Exhaust Gas Thermocouple (TCKEGT)
The TCKEGT is specifically designed for installation over the gas exhaust pipe drilled hole. It is designed using high temperature stainless steel , with a clamp to keep the sensor in place.
 
Self-Adhesive Thermocouple (TCKSTK)
The TCKSTK is practical because of its adhesiveness and small size. It is typically used in areas where more cumbersome thermocouples can not be installed.


Pressure Sensors
 
Absolute Pressure Sensor (SENPAP)
The SENPAP measures the absolute pressure at its port. It can be used to measure the manifold absolute pressure of a normally aspirated or turbocharged engine, or to measure altitude pressures ranging between –1 500 to 13 500 meters (-5 000 to 45 000 feet). The SENPG2 is available in a variety of ranges up to 102 PSI. The operating temperature can range between -40°C and 85°C.
 
Differential Pressure Sensor (SENPDP)
The differential pressure sensor measures the air speed of a vehicle up to 450km/h. The operating temperature can range between -40°C and 85°C.
 
Fluid Pressure Sensor (SENPG2)
The fluid pressure sensor measures engine oil pressure, braking effort, and hydraulic or pneumatic systems activity. It can be used with any fluid which will not deteriorate the stainless steel sensor. The SENPG2 is available in a variety of ranges up to 10000 PSI, and comes with a standard 1/4” NPT port. The operating temperature ranges between -40°C and 125°C.
 
 
Position Sensors
 
Rotational Position Sensor (SENRO2)
The SENRO2 measures steering inputs, throttle position, or any application where rotational motion occurs. It measures up to 320° of rotation and requires a special adaptor for each application.
 
Linear Position Sensor (SENLP4, SENLP5)
The SENLPx accurately measures linear movements. It is typically used for monitoring shock and spring assembly motion.
 
String Potentiometer (SENST2)
The SENST2 measures the position of various mechanical setups where motion is neither rotational nor translational. Because of its design, the string potentiometer is more efficient to measure lower frequency motions.
 
 
Voltage/Current Sensors
 
Isolated AC or DC Voltage Sensors (SENVA1 or SENVD1)
These sensors measure AC voltage (SENVA1) or DC voltage (SENVD1). Up to 1750 VDC and 1250 VAC.
 
Isolated AC and DC Current Sensors (SENACA or SENADC)
These sensors measure AC current (SENACA) or DC current (SENADC). Up to 650A AC to ±900A DC.

 
Speed/RPM Sensors
 
Magnetic Detector (DTCMAG)
The magnetic detector is used to measure the speed and/or RPM by generating an electrical signal when the pole of a magnet or the edge of a metallic object approaches within the switching range of the sensing face. This small size (0.5”x1.0”) detector features a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C).
 
Isolated Detector (DTCISO)
The isolated detector outputs an electric signal when an acceptable voltage is applied to its input. Both electric signals are isolated from one another. DTCISO is used to share detectors from different systems installed on the vehicle, such as wheel speed and RPM.
 
Optical Detector (DTCOPT)
The optical detector measures speed and/or RPMs. It sends an infrared beam which is reflected back by a polarizing object (adhesive reflective tape). The detector then generates an electrical signal and energizes the indicator LED. This detector features a -20°C to 70°C operating temperature range and a nominal sensing range of 4,5m (14,8’).
 
Spark Detector (DTCSPK)
The spark detector outputs an electric signal when it senses an electric current burst through the high-tension output of the ignition coil. It is used to measure RPM on 2-stroke and some 4-stroke engines. The operating temperature can range between -40°C à 85°C. It can be easily installed without any specific tools.
 
 
Inertial Sensors
 
Gyroscope (SENGYR)
The SENGYR sensor leverages the gyroscopic effect to measure the rotational velocity of an object around its sensing axis.
 
Acceleration Sensor (SENAC1, SENAC2, SENVI1, SENVI2)
The SENAC1, SENAC2, SENVI1 and SENVI2 measure low-frequency accelerations of up to 400Hz. The SENVI1 and SENVI2 are AC-Coupled with a single pole high-pass filter when a DC response is not required. The analog AC coupling eliminates 0 offset drifts to the sensor. The SENAC1 and SENAC2 are used when the DC response is required (in tilt measurement applications, for example). SENACC sensors can also be used to measure vibrations.

 
Segment Separation
 
Infrared Emitter (EMTIRB)
The EMTIRB emits a wide infrared beam used as a lap delimiter. It is used in conjunction with the Infrared Detector (DTCIRB) to fragment data into segments as per needs. The EMTIRB can use 64 different channels while driving several DTCIRB on the same channel simultaneously.
 
Infrared Detector (DTCIRB)
The DTCIRB receives a coded infrared signal from the EMTIRB to fragment data into segments as per needs. The DTCIRB can use 64 different channels to detect only the desired EMTIRB around the track.
 
 
Miscellaneous Sensors
 
Humidity Sensor (SENHUM)
The SENHUM measures the relative moisture content, from 0% to 100%.
 
Wheatstone Bridge Conditioner (MODWBx)
Strain gauge or load cell conditioner module, in full-bridge configuration.
 
Fuel Flow Detector (DTCFFW)
The fuel flow transducer measures the flow of hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline, kerosene, #2 diesel and other light transmitting, but non-corrosive liquids of similar viscosities. It can be installed in series with the fuel pump of the vehicle.
