152.1 – Speed channels
To sample the two speed channels a split optional cable is needed. Its part number is:
V02549030. Plug it into the connector labelled “Speed”.
72.2 – Lap channel
To sample lap time just plug the receiver included in the kit into the connector labelled
“Beacon”.
82.3 – ECU connection
EVO4 can sample data coming from the vehicle ECU using CAN/RS232 protocols or the
K/L Line: use the ECU interface cable for CAN/RS232 protocol and the RPM cable for the
K/L line. Both cables are included in the kit. Refer to the appendix technical draws for
further information on these cables.
Always refer to the ECU user manual for any further information concerning pins and
cables connection.
To be sure that the vehicle ECU is supported by EVO4 and for updated information on
ECU – AIM loggers connection refer to the related documentation downloadable from AIM
corporate website, download area ECU section.
ECU connections depends on the communication protocol used by the ECU.
With CAN/RS232 protocol use ECU interface cable and the 5 pins male Binder connector
labelled “ECU” on EVO4 front panel. Please note: a CAN cable with OBDII connection
(optional) is available. The connection is:
•CAN +: pin 3 white cable labelled CAN +;
•CAN –: pin 5 blue cable labelled CAN – ;
•RS232RX pin 4 white cable labelled RS232RX;
•RS232TX pin 1 blue cable labelled RS232TX;
With the K/L line use RPM cable and the 5 pins male Binder connector labelled “RPM” on
EVO4 front panel. The connection is:
•K/L line pin 4 yellow cable labelled K line.

162.4 – EVO4 expansions
Connector labelled “Exp.” links EVO4 to numerous expansions increasing its potentialities.
As said all kits are also available with the Formula Steering Wheel that plugs exactly in
this connector. To connect more expansions (for example a Formula Steering wheel and
an LCU-One Lambda control) a Data Hub is needed so to increase the available
connections for expansions modules.
Warning: connect any expansion to EVO4 OFF.
92.5 – EVO4 USB communication
Connector labelled “USB” links EVO4 to a PC to configure it with Race Studio 2 software
and download stored data. USB cable comes with the kit.
102.6 – RPM channel
EVO4 can sample RPM signal in different ways:
•from the ECU via CAN bus or RS232;
•from the ECU through a square wave signal (from 8 to 50V);
•from the coil: RPM low voltage (from 150 to 400V) input;
•from the spark plug converting the signal sampled from the spark plug into a
square wave signal. In this case it is necessary to use an RPM adapter (optional).
212.6.1 – Sampling the RPM via CAN bus/RS232
To sample RPM from the ECU via CAN/RS232 use the connector labelled “ECU”.
222.6.2 – Sampling RPM from the ECU through a square wave signal
To sample RPM from the ECU through a square wave signal (from 4 to 50V), connect the
blue cable labelled “RPM 4-50V” of the 5 pins male Binder connector to RPM output of the
ECU (see appendix technical draw – code 04.563.02).
It can occur that the RPM signal coming out from the ECU is not correctly sampled by
EVO4 because is very unstable.
In this case, to obtain a stable square wave signal an (optional) RPM adapter is needed.
The images below show – on the left – a not square wave RPM signal coming from the
ECU and – on the right – a filtered one.

To connect the RPM adapter follow this procedure.
•Connect cable labelled RPM-ECU 4-50 V to ECU RPM output.
•Connect the blue cable of the adapter, “labelled RPM form” to “RPM form 8-50
Volt square wave” input of EVO4.
•Connect the red cable of the interface labelled “V battery” to the battery positive
pole. Connect the red cable downstream the vehicle master switch.
•Connect the interface black cable, labelled GND to the logger GND pin (refer to
the appendix technical draw code 04.563.02 for further information).
232.6.3 – Sampling the RPM from the coil: RPM low voltage input
To sample RPM signal from the coil on a low voltage RPM input (from 150 to 400V),
connect 5 pins Binder 712 male connector pin to ECU RPM output using the white cable
labelled RPM 150-450V (see appendix technical draw code 04.563.02).
It can occur that RPM signal produced by the coil is not correctly sampled by EVO4
because the signal is very unstable.

The image below shows a connection scheme example of the ignition key. Here below is
highlighted the out coming cable – labelled gray tach – that can be sampled directly from
EVO4 through the 4-50 Volt (see appendix technical draw code 04.563.02 – pin 3).
In case an ignition output is not available, it is necessary to use a signal coming from the
coil after having filtered it.
Here below an RPM signal coming from the coil is shown: not filtered on the left and
filtered on the right.
To filter the signal use an “RPM Coil-ECU” adapter (optional). It is a double-purpose filter
that allows to sample RPM from the coil and squares the signal wave form.

The coil to sample the signal from, shown here below, is a black cylinder with three cables
(labelled 1,2 and 3).
Cable labelled 1 is the coil low tension input.
Cable labelled 2 is connected to the coil.
Cable labelled 3 is connected to the battery positive pole (+12V).
Moreover the coil is generally grounded with the chassis as shown by the scheme below
on the right.
The scheme below shows the voltage in the points labelled 1,2 and 3 in the images here
above.
It is reminded that the adapter white cable, labelled “RPM-Coil 150-400 V” is to be
connected to the RPM trigger wiring indicated by digit 1 in the above schemes.
