Remote Monitoring / Telematics (Optional)

All data points monitored by the EVO-SP® System locally


can also be monitored remotely using the optional EVO
Connect™ System. The EVO Connect module, see Figure
Figure 4 8, simply mounts inside the EVO-SP® control panel and
connects via a serial connection. When ordered with the
EVO-SP® System these modules are already preinstalled
at the factory. EVO Connect is a cellular based system.
To utilize the cellular connection, the customer must
purchase a data only cell plan from a local cellular
provider. The cellular provider should supply a Mini, or
2FF size SIM card to be installed in the unit. These SIM
cards are 15mm x 25mm. When setting up the data
plan, ask the telcom provider for the “APN” associated
with the SIM cards.

Remote monitoring is accomplished via an iPad, not

complications. air/gas mixers are carefully designed as to provide
optimal mixing of the gas in order for each cylinder to
receive equal amounts of gas at any given time. Each
mixer is equipped with a fast acting throttle body that is
controlled by the EVO-SP®` electronic control unit (ECU).
Depending on the engine / system installed, there will be
two to six air/gas mixers. One of the mixers is equipped
with a mass air flow sensor. The mass air flow sensor
is the primary input to the ECU as to the load on the
engine. The ECU will shut down the EVO-SP® System
should it detect a problem with any throttle body or the
mass air flow sensor.

the needed length. Before installing the air-gas mixer
determine the approximate location and verify that
there are no space conflicts with the integrated throttle

mixers can be installed at any angle that is convenient to
maintain the original geometry of the air intake system.

INSTALLING WIRING HARNESS

Connect the Wiring Harness (2000 Series)

Since factory installed connectors terminate the wiring harness, it is best to begin by attaching the connectors to the
control panel and then working your way to the individual components. Route all wiring away from hot areas. Avoid
routing in areas where vibrations can cause chaffing. Connect the wiring harnesses as follows: (Note: Connectors
