Proven on two wheels and four, on land and on water, from 4 second quarter miles to 24 hour endurance events, MOTEC Dash Loggers are renowned for outstanding accuracy and reliability.

The ADL2 is an evolution of MOTEC’s original Advanced Dash Logger, which has earned international recognition across a broad range of motorsport disciplines. It is a sophisticated display, fully programmable data logger and powerful controlling device in the one lightweight unit, accommodating over 200 channels derived from a mixture of

Analogue, Digital, RS232 Serial and CAN bus data channels.

The ADL2’s
high contrast,
reflective LCD
screen has
been custom
designed for
easy viewing in
direct sun and artificial light, with
an optional adjustable backlight for maximum
visibility in low light or at night time. High temperature tolerance ensures consistent reliability in all conditions.

The display has three programmable modes which operate independently of each other; Practice, Warm Up and Race. This allows relevant details to be shown to the driver at the appropriate time without unnecessary onscreen clutter.

The 70 segment curved bar graph can be configured to display any channel, with optional peak hold and shift markers. Each numerical item is programmable to show any value and can be overridden by user defined conditions.

Thirteen alphanumeric digits along the bottom of the screen can be used to display channel values, messages and warning alarms. There are 20 text lines available which can be scrolled using an external button, plus four programmable overrides.

Lap times can be displayed when the Dash Logger is used in conjunction with a MOTEC Lap Beacon (or driver activated switch).

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

The ADL2 can calculate and display additional information including: Lap Time Gain/Loss, Lap Number, Minimum Corner Speed, Maximum Straight Speed, Fuel Used, Fuel Remaining, Laps Remaining, Trip Distance and Odometer. It also features a sophisticated engine log and tell-tale system.

WARNING ALARMS

Alarms are extremely beneficial in alerting users to potential concerns with the vehicle. They can be displayed on the ADL2 screen as a visible warning for the driver and also stored in the logging memory.

An alarm can be set for any analogue, digital, serial or calculated channel. Limits are fully programmable and may include up to six conditions to ensure that they are only activated at the correct time.

When an alarm condition has been detected, a message can be shown on the display and an auxiliary output activated. These outputs may be used for warning lights or the control of other devices.

The alarms remain active until they are either acknowledged by activating a switch or removed automatically following a user definable period of time.
