the already great potentialities of MyChron4, an extremely innovative and flexible instrument. eBox Gold/Extreme adds at least two temperatures, a speed and 3 analog channels (eBox Extreme only) to MyChron4 potentialities. This user manual is to be used as integration of MyChron4 user manual. Refer to that document for all issues not explained here. ...

The above image shows eBox Gold for MyChron4 kit, including: • eBox Gold (1); • 1 speed sensor to be chosen between front wheel speed sensor (2) and rear axle speed sensor (3); • 1 Data key (4); • Race Studio 2 software CD and eBox Gold/Extreme (5) user manual. The above image shows eBox Extreme for MyChron4 kit, including: • eBox Extreme (1); • 1 speed sensor to be chosen between front wheel speed sensor (2) and rear axle speed sensor (3); • 1 Data key (4); • Race Studio 2 software CD and eBox Gold/Extreme (5) user ma ...

eBox Gold/Extreme samples RPM, speed and, thanks to the internal accelerometer, lateral acceleration. A careful installation is key to sample correct and consistent data. Warning: when connecting eBox to an AIM logger both devices must be OFF. 72.1 – Installing eBox Gold/Extreme on the kart Install eBox parallel to travel direction and perpendicular to lateral acceleration. Here below you can see how to correctly install the eBox on the left and an eBox correctly installed on the right. Once eBox is installed, the internal accelerometer m ...

Once MyChron4 and eBox are installed and connected, eBox internal accelerometer must be calibrated. Please note: to get a correct calibration place the kart in level ground and leave it still for 2-3 seconds. Switch MyChron4 on; enter calibration function following this path: MENU button < “Control panel” icon < “System setup” option. This window appears: Scroll options and select “Calibrate Acc.” to perform calibration. ...

Connection between eBox Gold/Extreme and additional sensors is made plugging the sensors in the respective connectors. The images below show position and function of the connectors. (1) Plugging a Data Hub in this connector data download can be remoted and eBox channels are increased. Warning: once MyChron4 is connected to the eBox, unplug lap cable from MyChron4 and plug it in the eBox Lap input. Otherwise lap times are missing. ...

There are two types of available speed sensors: front wheel speed sensor and rear axle speed sensor. Here below the installation instructions. 93.1 – Installing the front wheel speed sensor Front wheel speed sensor (above on the left) has to be oriented as shown above on the right, at 5 mm distance from the magnet. 1 03.2 – Installing the rear axle seed sensor Rear axle speed sensor shown here above on the left fits an installation on the bearing housing of the axle and can also be provided with a magnetic ring. It is to ...

eBox Gold/Extreme is configured using MyChron4. Configuration can be performed using the wizard or the control panel. Both need activation. Configuration through MyChron4 Wizard (quicker) To configure eBox Gold/Extreme through MyChron4 wizard press “MENU” and select “Configuration wizard” highlighted below. The configuration wizard starts. It sets all parameters needed to make the system work. Here below the information needed only when eBox Gold/Extreme is connected are specified. • language; • driver (only in case of very f ...

To configure eBox Gold/Extreme using MyChron4 control panel press “MENU” and select “Control panel” icon highlighted here below. Control panel screen appears. Here below control panel pages of MyChron4 stand alone (top), with eBox Gold (bottom left) and Extreme (bottom right) are shown. Starting the configuration when MyChron4 has already been configured, the previous settings are showed and can be modified. Control panel menu of MyChron 4 with eBox Gold/Extreme connected includes more options and additional features ...

Pressing “CAL” the display shows three screens in sequence. Follow the instructions. Once calibration is completed the system gives confirmation. 2 24.5.2 – Calibrating the throttle and brake potentiometer Pressing “CAL” the display shows two screens in sequence: follow the instructions. Once the calibration is completed the system gives confirmation. Once all potentiometer are calibrated, press “OK” and the system saves the calibration showing a confirmation message. ...

This function manages custom sensors. Values are linked following this calibration curve: • 0 counts – 0 Volt • 100 counts – 5 Volt Calibration curve is already set and needs not calibration. Warning: always check sensor reference power value (VB), that should never be higher than eBox internal battery – 9V – in case of internal power and should be 12Volts in case of external power. Always refer to the sensors user manuals and datasheets supplied by the sensors builder for any further information. 2 44.6.1 – Ana ...

During track session it is possible to view different values, depending on the fact that the kart where the system is installed has the gearbox or not. 1 45.1 – View data on track with a kart without gearbox On track MyChron4 display shows this screen; Pressing “ON/VIEW” the display shows speed in spite of RPM digital value (below). Pressing “>>/OFF” MyChron4 temperature input is shown (others temperatures come from MyChron4 eBox). Possible visualizations sequence is the following: • 2 MyChron4 eBox temperature inputs + RPM • 2 MyChron4 e ...

A kart having the gearbox shows data on track only after making gear calculation (Menu

When a track session is over, data stored in MyChron4 memory can be recalled pressing “MEM/OK”. The first page that appears is “session summary”. Pressing “>>/OFF” and ”MENU/<<” different sessions are scrolled. Pressing again “MEM/OK” the second page Lap times Histograms, appears: it’s identical to the one shown by MyChron4. Refer to that logger user manual for further information on this subject. Selecting a lap from histogram page and pressing again “MEM/OK” the third page, RPM graph appears. “>>/OFF” and ”MENU/< ...

Press “>>/OFF” and ”MENU/<<” to scroll laps and “ON/VIEW” to see, in sequence: • eBox Temp. 1; • eBox Temp. 2; • MyChron4 Temp. 1. Please note: data of eBox additional channels CH.1, CH.2 and CH.3 cannot be shown on MyChron4 display. ...
