Introduction The Air-Fuel Ratio Combustion Monitor (AFM1000/AFM1500) 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, wide-range UEGO (Universal Exhaust Gas Oxygen) sensor, the AFM provides unmatched measurement range, accuracy, and speed-of-response in a compact, lightweight package.

Important Operation Notes 1. Before installing the UEGO 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 UEGO sensor in the exhaust and the control module’s power off.
How to Use Hooking-up the AFM Location of the UEGO Sensor The UEGO 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.
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 AFM1000 only, the shell of the connector is signal ground and it is electrically connected to the power source ground.
SMB Interface (Serial Measurement Bus, AFM1500 Only) The AFM1500 has a SMB interface allowing serial communication with as many as 16 AFM1500 modules using a single RS-232 type serial port from a computer. Using the SMB interface, AFR, FAR (the inverse of AFR), Lambda, %O , and module status can be read from each AFM1500 module.

Command Mode Command Mode is used to auto-detect AFM1500 and F/A1000 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.
Fuel Type Compensation The standard AFM output is for gasoline (measurement range of 6.0 to 20.0 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.

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 = 0.009140 for AFR < 14.57 (rich). B = 0.012100 for AFR ≥...
