VBOX 4

To connect the Pedal Force Sensor to a VBOX 4, please follow the steps below:

  1. Connect the supplied 4-way Lemo cable (RLCAB148) to the port on the rear of the Pedal Force Sensor.
     
  2. Wire the unterminated end into the required 15-way D-sub connector.
     
  3. Connect and fix the 4 wires as follows:
    • Wire the green wire to the ground pin (15).
    • Wire the red wire to the power pin (9).
    • Wire the yellow wire to a negative pin in an available Isolated Channel pair.
    • Wire the blue wire to a positive pin in an available Isolated Channel pair. 


    In this example, we are using channel 4 for the signal wires.

    You can find the pin information for the analogue Input connector on VBOX 4 here.

  4. Attach the top side of the connector block housing and fix in place with the 2 screws.
  5. Place the Pedal Force Sensor on top of the vehicle's pedal and secure using the bolts and back plate provided (a 6 mm Hex key is required).
     
    Notes:
    • Two lengths of bolts are supplied to accommodate different-sized pedal arms.
    • On some pedals, you may need to remove the rubber cover for the mounting plate to get a firm fix.

     
  6. Make sure that the sensor is firmly attached to the pedal before use.
     
  7. Plug the cable in to the A IN port on the VBOX and tighten using the thumb screws.
     
  8. The setup described above will input on the channel VB3i_AD1, please ensure the channel has been configured through VBOX Setup in order to obtain understandable results.
VBOX 3i

To connect the Pedal Force Sensor to a VBOX 3i, please follow the steps below:

  1. Connect the supplied 4-way Lemo cable (RLCAB148) to the rear of the Pedal Force Sensor.
     
  2. Wire the unterminated end into the required 15-way D-sub connector.
     
  3. Connect and fix the 4 wires as follows:
    • Wire the green wire to the ground pin (15).
    • Wire the red wire to the power pin (14).
    • Wire the yellow wire to a negative pin in an available Isolated Channel pair.
    • Wire the blue wire to a positive pin in an available Isolated Channel pair. 


    In this example, we are using channel 1 for the signal wires.

    You can find the pin information for the analogue Input connector on VBOX 3i here.

  4. Attach the top side of the connector block housing and fix in place with the 2 screws.
     
  5. Place the Pedal Force Sensor on the top of the vehicle's pedal and secure using the bolts and back plate provided (a 6 mm Hex key is required).
     
    Notes:
    • Two lengths of bolts are supplied to accommodate different-sized pedal arms.
    • On some pedals, you may need to remove the rubber cover in order for the mounting plate to get a firm fix.

     
  6. Make sure that the sensor is firmly attached to the pedal before use.
     
  7. Plug the cable in to the A IN port on the VBOX and tighten using the thumb screws.
