Extended Gauge Set...... 13 Status Indicators ......13 Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Toucan display. We hope it will be easy to install and configure, and we suggest that you read this guide before installation. Installation Before You Start Please check the box contents to ensure nothing is missing. -
Page 3: Installation
Ensure a good ground connection is provided to the BLACK wire. To allow Toucan to power up quickly, it is recommended that a connection to both a permanent and switched (i.e., only live when the ignition is on) vehicle battery feeds are made. -
Page 4: Cal Switch - Grey Wire
Multiway Connector This connects to the rear of the Toucan unit. Note that it has a latching tab that must be depressed before the connector and cable can be detached. The connector is intended to allow occasional removal of the unit from the car to allow, for example, firmware updates to be applied. -
Page 5: In-Vehicle Mounting
CAL switch configuration If Toucan is being used to select calibrations via the grey wire rather than CANbus (see later), it is necessary to check that the voltage thresholds configured in the ECU match those of your Toucan. Toucan supports 8 or 12 CAL positions. Analogue rotary CAL switches vary, and your mapper may have adjusted the ECU values to match your specific switch. -
Page 6: Doesn't Work
>4.58V 4.80V To ensure Toucan and the ECU calibration match, you can either alter the voltages in the Toucan unit or alter the ECU to match Toucan. Note that switching Toucan between 8 and 12 CAL positions will cause the voltages to default to the values in the tables above. -

ECUs via CANbus. G4 and V-series ECUs with a serial number lower than 10,000 will need a CAN upgrade by a Link dealer. Toucan is also capable of activating CAN Digital Input (DI) channels 1 to 8 on Link G4+/G4X and Vi-PEC i-series ECUs... -

20. Click Apply and then OK. 21. Make sure a Store (F4) is performed. There is a “G4” setting available via Toucan’s More Page 4 menu – the available parameters and data scaling is slightly different for the G4. CAN DI Control Functions Link G4+ and Vi-PEC i-series ECUs allow a wide range of parameters to be controlled via a CANbus message that acts as a “CAN Digital Input”. -
Page 9: Syvecs/Life Racing
This is a special mode where the Syvecs ECU replicates the CAN content on an RS232 datastream. This is used if there is a reason Toucan cannot be connected to the ECU CANbus. The exact format of the data is dependent on the CAN RX mode as below. -
Page 10: Toucan Transmit (Tx) Modes
This mode is found in SCAL under “Syvecs CAN Receive” Note that Toucan does not transmit all of the data the comprises the Bosch M4 ABS data set so, unless the vehicle is already transmitting these and the vehicle CAN bus is connected to the Syvecs, there will be errors reported due to the missing frames.This... -
Page 11: 5V Output Modes
5V Output Modes The grey wire in the Toucan cable harness has traditionally been used as a stepped 0-5V control to mimic a rotary CAL switch. Although of limited use for the current range of Syvecs ECUs, if any of the TX modes are being used to control CAL selection instead, this output can be changed to be: •... -

CAN bridge module, which then needs CAN data in specific, incompatible slots. On “More Page 4” you can access an editor to alter the Toucan CAN frame and slot assignments. This is considered an Advanced option and should only be done if you are comfortable accessing the calibration in your Syvecs using SCal to determine the frame and slot assignments. -

Emtron Toucan can receive runtime parameters and status information from Emtron ECUs and is also capable of sending messages to the ECU to control: • CAL switching • Launch on/off • ALS on/off • Either ALS or Traction Control CAL switching (as preferred) Configuring the Gauge Datastream Files will need to be downloaded from the JTinnovations website –... -
Page 15: Haltech And Ecumaster
Configure the ECU to transmit the “Haltech E8 E11v2” protocol at 1Mbit/s Trim Switch If the ECU variant used supports the use of trim selection switches, Toucan provides an 8-way voltage output to emulate a physical switch. This is named a “CAL” (calibration) output in Toucan. -
Page 16: Motec M1
Select the Physical CANbus channel used (e.g., CAN Bus 1) • Set the CAN ID to 528 (NB – Toucan transmits with ID 529, but the setting in M1 Tune has to be a multiple of 16 as the “base” address for 16 received channels, which in this case is 528). -
Page 17: Alcatek
Please discuss with your mapper. There is no configuration of Toucan necessary. CANbus Termination It will be necessary to enable the bus termination if Toucan is the last device on a CANbus network. By default the termination is switched off, but it may be enabled by sliding the small switch on the rear of the unit towards the 4-prong mounting plate. -

Adjust the voltage up or down. Toucan supports 8 or 12 CAL positions which can be set via the “More” menus. Note that switching Toucan between 8 and 12 CAL positions will cause the voltages to reset to default values. -
Page 22: Cal Pin Protection
CAL PIN Protection. If enabled via the “more” menus, Toucan can be set to prevent the current CAL being changed unless you enter a 4 digit PIN. This can be useful if you have a “valet” CAL (with reduced rpm limit for example) and/or an anti-theft CAL. You can also set PIN protection to only apply to the last CAL (i.e. -
Page 23: Alarm Configuration
Each large gauge has a “mute” button that temporarily mutes the alarm until either it clears and re-occurs; or you unmute it; or Toucan is repowered. In addition, there is a low oil temperature warning that can be enabled. This will not sound the audible alarm but will display a non-flashing orange bezel until the oil temperature exceeds the configured temperature. -

Page 28: Can Id Ranges And Toucan Auto-Detect
CAN ID Ranges and Toucan Auto-detect Toucan is designed to auto-detect the connected ECU by the CAN stream received, and it does this via the CAN IDs of the received stream. The IDs’ used by each manufacturer are, in the most part, unique (and where not, Toucan has configuration options to take account of the overlaps) but occasionally a conflict might occur, especially if there are other devices on the CANbus.
