Press Release Summary = Accessory for popular LM-1 Air/Fuel Meter features 5
internal sensors- Pressure, Temperature, RPM, Acceleration, and Duty Cycle.

Press Release Body = Innovate Technology, INC. today announced the release of the
LMA-3 multi-sensor auxiliary input device, also known as the AuxBox. This device
attaches to the auxiliary input of the LM-1 and allows a user to log and analyze 5
critical engine metrics in addition to the air/fuel ratio (AFR) native on the LM-1.
In another major advance for tuners, the AuxBox completes the solution of a
professional quality 6-channel tuning computer at an enthusiast-level price.

The 5 internal sensors are intended for capturing Manifold Air Pressure (MAP or
Boost), Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) or Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT), RPM
conversion (from a tach signal or inductive clamp), Acceleration, and Injector Duty
Cycle (or Dwell). The internal MAP sensor is a 3-bar absolute pressure sensor,
providing accurate data up to 44.1 PSIA. The temperature measurement circuit
features a K-type thermocouple. The internal accelerometer features 2 axis
measurements for a variety of mounting options.

The AuxBox makes the popular LM-1 into a complete tuning kit, allowing the user to
capture, view, and analyze data on all 6 channels that the LM-1 can log internally.
Correlating AFR, RPM, MAP, and CHT, for example, is essential when tuning piggy-back
fuel controllers, ECU flashers, aftermarket ECUs, or racing carburetors. The
additional accelerometer and dwell circuits add powerful tuning and cause-effect
tracking features.

“We see many tuners erring on the rich side- too much advance, too much fuel-
simply because they can’t accurately measure what’s happening,”
says Klaus Allmendinger, Innovate’s VP of Engineering. “With an
AuxBox-equipped LM-1, tuners can capture and understand all the key parameters to
get maximum power from any engine.”

Another key application of the AuxBox is road testing. Even a dyno doesn’t
provide as much real data as road testing. Factors like air flow, side force, and
load vary significantly on a real road. With an AuxBox installed in the engine bay,
a user can log 6 channels, in multiple sessions, for up to 44 minutes. Then, back at
the garage, simply connect the LM-1 to you PC and view all of you log data. The
included LogWorks software features fuel mapping, statistical analysis, graph
overlays, and playback of log on virtual gauges.

The AuxBox also includes 5 external inputs for connecting external sensors in lieu
of the internal sensors. This allows users to log data from external sensors like
TPS or suspension data. “With the AuxBox, we’re continuing the effort of
making professional tools available at enthusiast prices,” states Patrick
Thompson, Innovate’s President. “6 channels of internal data logging,
with 6 sensors included, all for less than the cost of most wideband controllers is
a significant accomplishment.”

The LM-1 is the world’s only fully-digital air/fuel ratio meter. In a major
advance for engine tuners, the LM-1 enables precise measurement of exhaust air/fuel
ratio (AFR) at an affordable price. The meter’s digital signal processing
technology provides data on exactly how rich or lean an engine is running at any
load. The LM-1’s self-calibrating circuitry also compensates for changes in
temperature, altitude, and sensor condition.

The LMA-3 sells for a retail price of $249. Contact Innovate Technologies at
