Bus Interface Module for compass and outside temperature
▪
This Bus Interface Module has an internal compass sensor, and an input for the included digital air temperature
sensor, SEN-15-1.
▪
There are two interface ports on the module; either one can be connected to the instrument system or to another
module, allowing several units to be daisy chained together.
▪
Do not connect the I/O port to anything other than a Dakota Digital control box, or another BIM unit.
▪
If there are several modules being used, it would be best to attach this one as the last module in the series.
▪
A six-foot data cable is included for flexibility in the mounting location of the compass module and routing of the
cable.
*NOTE* The compass must be calibrated in the vehicle before it can begin reading properly. The status light will
flash between red and green until it has been calibrated in your vehicle.
