RPM Bridge belongs to the last generation of AIM systems for car installations. ECU Bridge samples but does not record RPM values coming from the vehicle. Data can be visualized connecting RPM Bridge to SmartyCam, the on-board camera or to an AIM dash (MyChron3 Dash, TG Dash, Formula Steering Wheel).

The scheme below shows the voltage in the point labelled “1” in the previous images. It is reminded that RPM Bridge white cable, labelled “RPM 150-450 V” is to be connected to the RPM trigger wiring indicated by digit 1 in the previous schemes.
Release 1.03 Chapter 4 – Connecting RPM Bridge to AIM systems RPM Bridge can be connected directly to SmartyCam (top image) or to AIM dashes (bottom image) through a DataHub. Warning: connect RPM Bridge to AIM devices when both devices are OFF.
• press “New” to create a new configuration; • “New configuration” panel, shown here below, appears. • select RPM Bridge in the drop down menu, fill in the panel and press OK. The system comes back to “System manager” window. Enable “System Configuration” layer.
