BIM-01-2-FTCH
Bridge Module for FiTech EFI Systems
This Bus Interface Module is designed to read engine information from the FiTech bus. The module is connected to the
FiTech Bus through the 394287 CAN bus-adapter.
There are two interface (I/O) ports on the BIM-01-2-FTCH module. Either one can be connected to the instrument system
or to another module, allowing several units to be daisy chained together.
The information that is available from the unit depends on the ECU programming and add-ons.
*FiTech will be releasing compatibility for AF/R and Boost in an upcoming firmware release. This BIM
unit is pre-programmed to be compatible with these readings once the firmware is released by FiTech*
A GPS-50-2 CANNOT be linked (daisy chained) to a BIM-01-2-FTCH with a BIM cable.
The two units cannot talk to the display control box at the same time.
