    Introduction The Air-Fuel Ratio Combustion Monitor (AFM1040/AFM1540) The ECM Air-Fuel Ratio Combustion Monitor (AFM) was designed for the professional calibration of fuel-injection or carburetor systems. Using a state-of-the-art, broadband lambda (λ) sensor, the AFM provides unmatched measurement range, accuracy, and speed- of-response in a compact, lightweight package.

  • Page 7: Important Operation Notes

    Important Operation Notes 1. Before installing the lambda sensor, apply a small amount of non-lead containing antiseize compound to its threads. Do not get the compound on the sensor’s tip. 2. Do not operate an engine for more than three minutes with the lambda sensor in the exhaust and the control module’s power off.
  • Page 8: How To Use

    How to Use Hooking-up the AFM Location of the Lambda Sensor The lambda sensor should be located from 12" to 48” from the exhaust valve(s) of the engine. A location further from the engine may be used as long as it is at least ten times the exhaust pipe diameter upstream of the end of the exhaust system.
  • Page 9: Power

    The AFM has a 0V to 5V linearized output suitable for input into a data acquisition or engine control system. The analog output is available from the female BNC connector on the wiring harness. For the AFM1040 only, the shell of the connector is signal ground and it is electrically connected to the power source ground.
  • Page 10: Changing Sensor Type (Afm1540 Only)

    Changing Sensor Type (AFM1540 Only) AFMs are delivered programmed to use one of the following sensors: Bosch LSU 4.9, LSU 4.2, or NTK UEGO. This is indicated on the AFM's label. The AFM1540 can be user- reprogrammed to use any one of these sensors. PC software routine AFM1540.EXE is supplied with the AFM1540 to facilitate this.
  • Page 11 The AFM1540 module addressed responds (within 1 ms max.) with the byte of data requested. The command from the PC to the AFM1540 modules and the conversion formulas for the data from the AFM1540 modules to the PC are given in the following table. The state diagram for SMB communication is at the back of this instruction manual.
  • Page 12: Calibration

    Command Mode Command Mode is used to auto-detect AFM1540 and F/A1540 modules on the SMB bus. After the reception of command XXXX 0000 (where XXXX = module address) the module switches into Command Mode and waits for a second byte. Upon entering Command Mode, wait 30 ms minimum before issuing commands.
  • Page 13: Fuel Type Compensation

    Fuel Type Compensation The standard AFM output is for gasoline (measurement range of 8.0 to 18.0 AFR) with a fuel H:C ratio of 1.85 and an O:C ratio of zero. If a fuel of a different composition is used, the AFR measurement range will be different.
  • Page 14 Pressure Compensation Equation for AFR [Equation 3a] AFR(corrected) = (AFR(measured) + B x P) / (1 + C x P) where: AFR(corrected) = the AFR corrected for exhaust pressure. AFR(measured) = the AFR output by the AFM. B = 0.00398 (LSU 4.2), 0.00395 (LSU 4.9), 0.009140 (NTK) rich B = 0.00471 (LSU 4.2), 0.00453 (LSU 4.9), 0.012100 (NTK) lean C = 0.000273 (LSU 4.2), 0.000271 (LSU 4.9), 0.000627 (NTK) rich C = 0.000323 (LSU 4.2), 0.000311 (LSU 4.9), 0.000830 (NTK) lean...
