LCU-One CAN communicates with AiM devices via CAN, providing lambda value, Air/Fuel ratio, probe temperature and diagnostics parameters. An external 12V battery is required, this will supply power to the AiM master unit and the LCU-One CAN, which must be powered with its power supply leads.
3 – What is lambda Lambda represents the ratio between the actual mixture of air/fuel (A/F or AFR) admitted in the engine, compared to the optimum ratio (A/F or AFR ) indicating an efficient fuel combustion. Lambda can be written as: stoichiometric stoichiometric /...
Never switch the engine on, if the probe is installed but not connected to a working controller LCU-One CAN. If a probe were to be exposed to exhaust gas, when not heated, it would be permanently damaged. Wait for the probe to be ready, you will read the following values on the dash (Lambda = 1.6 or AFR = 23.31) depending on your display set up.
3000mAh, for example, can guarantee 3 hours of activity. LCU-One CAN controller has to be connected directly to the external 12V battery, using the three leads (one red and two black) supplied with spade connectors. They all have to be correctly connected with no dispersions, bad crimping, oxide or thin section wires causing an inadequate current supply to warm-up the Lambda probe.
Install the LCU-One CAN module adopting anti vibrating devices, like rawl nuts or neoprene mats. The module carries two M3x10mm fixing holes. Avoid the module to be exposed to high temperatures, this must not be placed in proximity of the exhaust pipe, if the module...
6 – LCU-One CAN and AiM devices The LCU-One CAN is totally integrated with AiM devices, its connection to the AiM CAN network and the display setup allows to have everything under control on the master unit display or in the logged data.
6.2 – Configuration of LCU-One CAN To set one or more LCU-One CAN modules connected to the AiM master unit, run Race Studio 3 configuration software and follow the steps here described. • Open an existing configuration or create a new one.

The list of the available channel depends on the number of LCUOne CAN modules installed. • Select the information to be displayed and confirm pressing OK • For additional parameters repeat from the field selection or open/modify another page. • Transmit the configuration to the AiM logger for the modifications to take effect.
If available, make sure the configuration is correctly set and transmitted to the main AiM device. An alternative way to check if the LCU-One CAN is correctly recognized is to use the AIM display: access the Menu – System Info – Net Info...
7 – How to analyse LCU-One CAN data Once the session is over and data have been downloaded from the AiM master logger, you can analyse them using Race Studio Analysis software. Running the software and opening the test you will see that LCU-One CAN connection adds four channels to “Measures and...
