Ducie54 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'm running the Thunder and have alot of pressure and temp sensors. Is there a right or wrong way when grouping sensors?I was looking at keeping all the high priority sensors together like TPS, MAP, IAT, ECT, fuel and oil pressure on the same sensor ground/+5 volt pins. Then using plug D for the other pressure and temp sensors.Also when wiring in a external pull-up resistor for AnVolt temperature sensors I take it you need a resistor for each temp sensor and can not group them together. Like one pull-up resistor for two temp sensors. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) The way you are intending to wire the +5V and signal ground will work fine. Generally it is a good idea to distribute the sensors evenly between the +5V and signal ground pins. This means that if a problem occurs with one pin not all the sensors will fall over.You will want one pull-up resistor per temp sensor when using An Volt channels.

Ducie54 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I need to splice about 8 wires off sensor grounds/+5v wires Is it OK to use the stock link harness wire or go up to 18g wire before I splice. Splice will be about 30cm back from the plug? Thanks Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 No need to up the wire size as it will be more than enough.Currents should be very low even with multiple sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
