Page 3: Introduction
Introduction The KT8 V3 Can Module is designed to provide even more data to our engine control units with accurate K Type thermocouple sensor readings over Can-bus. The V3 module now adds USB Scal Support, 2 x Configurable inputs and 2 x Configurable Outputs.
Page 4: Pinout - Connector A
KT8 V3 Low Side Outputs are for low current tasks only, max of 2amp. AN Inputs have 5v Pull up Option also for Thermistor Sensors. Please note! If upgrading V2 to V3, CAN H/L pins have switched between KT8 V2 and KT8 V3...

Function Scal Assignment LSO1 LOW SIDE 1 LSO2 LOW SIDE 2 Connections - Inputs The KT8 V3 has 2 programmable analogue inputs available both with software switchable 5v pull-up. Pin Number Input Scal Assignment Notes AN1 (5V) : C1-18 0-5v...
Page 6: Connections - Can Bus
Connections - CAN Bus There are two CAN interfaces, CAN0 and CAN1. CAN1 is CAN FD capable with adjustable FD Rate. Both Can buses have software enabled 120ohm termination available. Pin Number Function Notes CAN0 Low 1 Mbps CAN0 High 1 Mbps CAN1 Low 500 Kbps...
Page 7: S-Cal Connection And Configuration
A USB C port is found on the back of the KT8 which is used for calibration changes on the device. The S-Suite software can be downloaded from https://www.syvecs.com/software/ After running the SSuite installer, open SCal and click Device > Connect. You will be asked “How do you wish to access this device”.
Page 8: Receive Setup - S6-I & S6Plus / S7-I & S7Plus
The KT8 Data is picked up automatically on the S6-I/S6Plus & S7-I after wiring onto the Can Wires on C8 & C9 which is ‐ the 500kb Canbus in PNP Kits. KT1 8 parameters can then be found in Scal with firmware version 1.82+ Please email support@syvecs.com for additional help or custom can requests.
Page 9: Defining Custom Receive Data & Triggering Pwm Outputs
2, From the Datastream Submenu “Generic CAN Receive” Enable the “Generic CAN Receive Enable” option. 3, Set the Receive Bus to the desired CAN bus. If using data from your Syvecs ECU, it will be the same as the bus configured in 1, above.
Page 10: Controlling Outputs Based On Incoming Or Internal Sensor Data
Controlling outputs based on incoming or internal sensor data Once the sensors are defined you can now assign if desired these sensors to the axis of the PWM tables. Each table can be renamed to read something more friendly. In addition each Axis of each table can also be changed. The combination of those two inputs can now be used as a PWM output.
