2.2 Cabling and PIN assignment

2.2.1 Analog sensor probe 2643A

Analog input with crank angle sensor probe (in-vehicle application):

For in-vehicle applications , you can directly connect a crank angle sensor

probe to KiBox2. This probe captures the crank angle position information

from the Engine Control Unit (ECU) and converts it into digital format com-

patible to KiBox2. The probe is powered by KiBox2 through same cable and

the analog-to-digital conversion is performed inside the electronic box. Please

see the schematic below for correct wiring.

NOTE

Green cable is not needed and has to be shielded or connected

to Ground (GND).

The crank angle probe 2643A can be connected directly to the engine crank

shaft position sensor and is replacing the 2619A crank angle adapter. Sup-

ported are hall and inductive sensors with every common crank angle geome-

try and an input range up to +/-50V (differential).

The probe is designed for rough engine environments with high vibration and

a high temperature range up to 120°C.

NOTE

Keep the sensor to probe connecting cable as short as possible

to improve the signal quality and reduces interferences by

electromagnetic ﬁelds and noise.
