Innovate Motorsports LC-1 Sensor Controller User Manual
The LC-1 is a stand‑alone wideband controller that measures air‑fuel ratio (AFR) or Lambda for gasoline, diesel and alternative‑fuel engines. The manual covers mounting the sensor, wiring the controller to a vehicle’s electrical system, and connecting to ECUs or data loggers.
Key sections include step‑by‑step installation, free‑air and heater calibration procedures, programming of analog outputs, and detailed troubleshooting with error‑code tables. Safety warnings emphasize the high temperature of the oxygen sensor and proper grounding practices.
