Setup

Software Installation

Before connecting the LM-2 to your vehicle, it is recommended to install the necessary software on your computer. The LM-2 utilizes Logworks 3.0 software for advanced data logging, analysis, and device configuration. This software is typically available as a free download from the Innovate Motorsports official website.

1. Download the latest version of Logworks 3.0 from the Innovate Motorsports website.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the software installation.
3. Ensure your computer meets the minimum system requirements (e.g., Windows 10).

Hardware Connection

1. O2 Sensor Installation: Install the wideband O2 sensors into the exhaust system using the provided bungs. Ensure proper placement for accurate readings.
2. Connect Sensor Cables: Attach the 8ft sensor cables to the O2 sensors and then connect the other end to the corresponding ports on the LM-2 meter.
3. OBD-II Connection: Connect the OBD-II cable to the LM-2 and then to your vehicle's OBD-II port, typically located under the dashboard.
4. Power Connection: Use the provided power cable to supply power to the LM-2. This can often be done via a cigarette lighter adapter or direct wiring, depending on your setup.
5. SD Card Insertion: Insert the provided 2GB SD card into the LM-2's SD card slot for data logging.
6. USB PC Connection: For real-time logging and configuration via Logworks, connect the LM-2 to your computer using the USB PC cable.

Operating Instructions

Air/Fuel Ratio Monitoring

Once powered on and connected, the LM-2 will display real-time air/fuel ratio readings from the O2 sensors. The self-calibrating circuitry compensates for environmental changes, providing accurate data.

OBD-II Scan Tool Functions

The LM-2 functions as a full OBD-II scan tool, allowing you to:

• Read and clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
• Log up to 16 channels of CAN OBD-II data, providing comprehensive insight into engine parameters.

Datalogging

The LM-2 can log data directly to the inserted SD card. This allows for extensive recording of air/fuel ratios and OBD-II parameters over time. The logged data can then be downloaded and analyzed using the Logworks 3.0 software on your computer.

Analog Outputs

The LM-2 features two fully programmable linear analog outputs. These outputs can be connected to analog gauges, dyno computers, ECUs, or other devices that accept analog inputs. The LM Programmer software allows users to define the parameters for these analog outputs.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Keep the LM-2 unit clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• O2 Sensor Lifespan: Wideband O2 sensors are wear items and have a finite lifespan. Their longevity depends on fuel type, exhaust temperature, and operating conditions. Replace sensors as needed to maintain accuracy.
• Software Updates: Periodically check the Innovate Motorsports website for firmware updates for your LM-2 and software updates for Logworks 3.0 to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
• Storage: When not in use, store the LM-2 and its components in the provided carrying case in a dry, temperate environment.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter issues with your LM-2, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Verify all power connections are secure and that the power source is active. Check fuses if applicable.
• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure O2 sensors are properly installed and calibrated. Check for exhaust leaks near the sensor. Consider replacing old O2 sensors.
• Connection Problems (PC/OBD-II): Confirm all cables are securely connected. Ensure correct drivers are installed for USB connection. Verify the vehicle's OBD-II port is functional.
• Datalogging Issues: Check if the SD card is properly inserted and has sufficient free space. Ensure the card is formatted correctly (FAT32).
• Software Not Recognizing Device: Reinstall Logworks software and USB drivers. Try a different USB port on your computer.
