3. Features

DATA ACQUISITION

The sensors' data is recorded to the large-capacity memory in the module. Hence a constant connection to your smart device is not necessary. The recorded data is subsequently transferred to the smart device via Wi-Fi for analysis.

The system features a high-accuracy, high-frequency GPS receiver with an external antenna. The GPS coordinates and speed data are merged into the captured data stream, providing a complete record of status at every stage of the circuit during analysis.

The module can record five (5) analogue 0-5V channels (e.g., throttle position, gear position, etc.) and two RPM (pulse) signals (e.g., engine speed, wheel speed, etc.). An optional expansion port is available for capturing more data sources. A configurable output is also available, for instance, to control the dashboard display LED.

The iLE can be used with other HealTech products like the AR Assistant (ARA) and the QuickShifter easy (iQSE), as well as other commonly used racing products.

DATA ANALYZER

The Analyzer is integrated into the iLE app (available for both Android/iOS), offering all features within a single application. Recorded data can be displayed as a graph/chart, plotted against elapsed time or distance ridden. A map view displays all data accurately based on GPS records. The app can also calculate precise lap times, a vital feature for closed-course applications.

Previous sessions can be easily compared within the Analyzer. Additionally, the app can compare data recorded on other iLE modules, making sessions from different riders comparable. This provides objective proof of performance.

LIVE DASHBOARD FUNCTION

The iLE app also offers a Dashboard function, allowing you to use your phone as a real-time display. This requires a constant connection between the iLE unit and the device. You can choose from several dashboard layouts and designs to suit your riding style, including a professional lap timer skin, a comprehensive dash with RPM and gear indication, and a drag racer mode.

4. Warranty

HealTech Electronics Ltd. guarantees this product against defects in material and workmanship for a period of two (2) years. The warranty period starts from the date of the original purchase as shown on the invoice.

5. Specifications

6. Installation

The installation and setup of the iLogger easy require precision and patience for optimal results. The following is a generic installation guide. For bike-specific installations, illustrated manuals are available on the HealTech website in the Supplementary Manuals section. Please check this link regularly, as new manuals are added: www.healtech-electronics.com/iLE

For basic operation, the unit requires only power. Connect the PWR terminal to a key-switched +12V wire (e.g., brake/rear light feed) and the GND terminal to the battery negative terminal or a solid metal connection (e.g., the bike's frame).

Attention: Some switched +12V wires may disconnect randomly if there is a faulty side stand switch. If this occurs, recording will terminate and a new one will begin. Please check for a faulty switch or use another switched +12V wire.

The RPM terminal receives the RPM (pulsed) signal from the engine, which can come from various sources like a crankshaft sensor, an ignition coil, or the dashboard wiring harness. The RPM source type must be configured in the app for accurate capture and display.

Attention: If taking the RPM signal from an ignition coil, use the coil control wire from the ECU. Using other wires may damage the unit due to high voltage.

The VSS terminal is for the speed signal. It accepts signals from any wheel speed sensor, secondary/output shaft sensor (gearbox), ABS module, or dashboard wiring harness. The speed signal source and its characteristics (e.g., signal level, pulses per REV) must be configured correctly in the app for accurate speed capture and display.

Terminals AN1 to AN5 are 0-5V analogue inputs, protected from over-voltage (up to 12V, but only 0-5V is sampled). These are dedicated inputs for sensors generating analogue signals (e.g., throttle position, oil and coolant temperature). The type of the connected signal source must be configured correctly in the app for precise capture and display.

The OUT terminal is a configurable output, for example, to provide a switched GND circuit. This allows control of an external device, such as the optional dashboard-mountable status/feedback LED. The output is configured and activated in the app.

The GPS antenna (included) must be connected to the gold-plated threaded connector. For best reception, place the antenna with the GPS sign facing upwards, avoiding shielding by metal objects or the rider. The antenna may also be mounted under the fairing if these conditions are met.

7. Setup

After successful installation, complete configuration is essential. Connect to the module with your smart device (phone or tablet) via Wi-Fi. Configuration and adjustments can be made from the Setup menu.

Attention: Changes made in the app must be manually stored by tapping the 'Update module' button! This prevents unwanted changes from being sent to the module automatically, which could compromise the iLogger's proper operation.

7.1. Channel settings

Each channel has the following general parameters:

• Name: An identifier for the channel, used to identify recorded data in the Analyzer.
• Sample rate: The recording frequency, setting how many samples are captured per second.
• Record: Toggles whether the channel is being recorded or not.

7.1.1 RPM CHANNEL

Channel specific parameters:

• Sensor type: Configures the type of the sensor.
• Pulses per revolution: Sets the sensor pulse per crankshaft revolution.
• Noise filter: Filters/eliminates unwanted signal spikes. Recommended to turn ON in most cases.

7.1.4 GPS CHANNEL

Channel specific parameters:

• Speed unit: Sets the speed unit (km/h or mph) for display in the Analyzer.

7.1.5 AN1 – AN5 (ANALOGUE) CHANNELS

Channel specific parameters:

• Information/data: Set the type of signal being recorded on the channel. Possible data includes:
  • Voltage: The sampled voltage is recorded and not interpreted further.
  • Throttle position: The recorded voltage is displayed between minimum and maximum values (0-100%).
  • Gear position: Records the actual gear position by configuring voltage values for each gear.
  • Switch: The analogue signal is provided by a two-pole switch (ON and OFF), with phases defined by a threshold.
  • Pressure / Temperature / Linear motion: Sensor voltage values can be configured in five steps for precise reading/display.

ARA +/- switch: This option is available on the AN1 channel. With two pushbuttons, the channel can adjust the sensitivity of an ARA module connected to the iLE. The buttons need to be wired so the AN1 input floats in a normal state, the '+' button pulls the input to a high level (at least +5V), and the '-' button pulls it to a low level (GND).

8. Transfer

Data recorded by the iLE is stored in the unit's built-in memory. To view and analyze recordings, they must first be downloaded from the module to your smart device (phone/tablet) using the Transfer button in the app's main menu. Downloaded recordings will be visible in a pop-up window and marked with a check-mark.

Attention: Downloading a recording does not automatically delete it from the module. Users must delete recordings manually. The module has limited storage; if no space is available, recording will stop and will not resume until space is freed up. The module's storage status can be checked in the application's main status tab under 'Memory usage'.

9. Analyzer

Transferred recordings are ready for analysis by pressing the Analyzer button in the main menu. Selecting a file from the pop-up window opens the Analyzer viewer.

9.1 GRAPH VIEWER

Graphs for active channels are displayed. Scroll left/right with one finger, pinch with two fingers to zoom. A yellow vertical line ('the cursor') shows the actual values of selected channels and the loaded session. Additional functions are accessible via the gear icon:

• Switch graph display between time-based and distance-based.
• Use the 'delay' button to show time differences between laps.
• Manually synchronize two different recordings (files, sessions, or laps) if the app fails to sync automatically (e.g., for drag racing sessions).

9.2 CHANNELS

Select desired channels for display. Channels can be toggled between visible and non-visible. Tap the empty square in front of a channel to make it visible. Visible channel display is limited; the last channel added will revert to non-visible if the limit is reached. Long-tap and drag to move channels to the non-visible section. Channels can be sorted by long-tapping and dragging. Channel sorting affects how values are displayed in the upper menu bar. Channels can also be colored by tapping the square in front of them.

9.3 LAPS

The Analyzer features a lap-time evaluation function that calculates lap times with high accuracy based on GPS data. Activate this by tapping the 'LAPS' button in the left vertical menu. Lap times are automatically calculated if the app recognizes the recording location. Laps are displayed chronologically, showing lap times and sector times. Best sectors are marked with a green background. The theoretical best lap, calculated by summing the best sector times, is shown with a turquoise background.

If the app does not recognize the track, you can manually add the start/finish line. Swipe the yellow cursor to the desired point and tap the lap timer chart header. In the pop-up window, select '‹ select track here ›', then 'laps by cursor' to mark the start/finish line.

A single lap can be selected from the lap times charts; it will be highlighted with a bright yellow background in the graph viewer.

9.4 MAP

With valid GPS data, routes ridden are visible in a map view. Tap the MAP button in the left vertical menu to activate it. The red dot on the map corresponds to the yellow cursor's position in the graph viewer; swiping the graphs moves the red dot accordingly, aiding in understanding events at specific track points.

The map viewer offers a coloring option to display the track according to a selected channel's values. Tap the map viewer header and select a channel. Deep blue represents the lowest value, shifting to green and then red for higher values. If a lap is selected from the lap chart, the map coloring represents only that lap.

9.5 ZOOM

Tap the ZOOM button in the left vertical menu to cycle through zoom states in the graph viewer:

• Whole session / complete view: Displays the entire session length.
• Cursor area: Displays 1 minute / 2 kilometers (1.25 miles) around the cursor.
• Selected lap: Displays the lap selected from the lap viewer chart.

Continuously tapping the ZOOM button cycles through these states.

10. iLogger easy (iLE) - AR Assistant (ARA) connection

The ARA and iLE modules communicate via Wi-Fi, eliminating the need to connect RPM and speed signals directly to the iLE module. An external button connected to the iLE module can adjust the AW-TC sensitivity while riding.

To enable this setting, a unique Wi-Fi suffix must be set in both the ARA and iLE modules.

Connection procedure:

• Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
• Exit the ARA app.
• Start the engine.
• Start and use the iLE app.

Attention: If you connect using the ARA app, the ARA-iLE connection will not be established.

10.1. External switch connection

An external switch can be connected to the AN1 input. A 3-way momentary switch is recommended, making contact to +12V when pushed upwards and to GND when pushed downwards. The switch should revert to the default middle (off) position when released.

It is essential to use a limiting resistor of 2.7kΩ in the PWR connection to prevent severe problems from accidental short circuits at the switch.

After connecting the switch, configure the AN1 input in the app to be used as an AW-TC sensitivity adjustment switch for the AR Assistant module. The actual AW-TC sensitivity value will be displayed on the iLE live dashboard.

Diagram Description: The diagram illustrates the connection of an external 3-way momentary switch to the iLE module's AN1 input. It shows the HealTech logo and product name. A 2.7kΩ resistor is placed in the PWR connection. The switch has three positions: upwards for +12V contact, downwards for GND contact, and a default middle (off) position.
