Signal Specification

All the values given below are between the terminals stated in column 1 and terminal #1 in column 2 (signal ground). This applies unless otherwise indicated in brackets.

NOTE: It is important to connect the breakout box and check the ground terminals before taking readings.

There may be several connections and connectors between the control module and components.

U= DC voltage in volts (V) UAC = AC voltage in volts (V)
Ubat = Battery voltage (V) f = Frequency in Hertz (Hz)
Ulow = Voltage approximately 0 V t = Time in seconds
PWM = Pulse width modulated signal as a % - -
