RDAC "Remote Data Acquisition Computer" EMS functions:

RDAC VD Remote Data Acquisition Computer

RDAC XB Remote Data Acquisition Computer

RDAC VD (4-channel thermocouples)
RDAC VT (same, but for turbines)

RDAC X-B (12-channel thermocouples).
RDAC X-D adds Manifold Pressure

  • Four or twelve channel thermocouple amplifier, high resolution chopper stabilized system with full cold junction compensation and bow voltage correction to laboratory standards.
  • The inputs can accept K-type or J-type thermocouples (selectable via provided menu functions)
  • Oil and Water temperature NTC input compatible with most oil temperature senders and the MGL water temperature sender.
  • Also accepts MGL precision semiconductor senders for water and oil temperature.
  • Universal rev counter input. Can be used on a wide variety of engines using a variety of interface methods.
  • Fuel flow sender input. Can be used with most commercial liquid flow senders.
  • Calibration via provided menu functions.
  • Oil pressure sender input. Accepts most commercial oil pressure senders including those from VDO.
  • Fuel level sender input with extensive calibration functions provided to allow direct readout of fuel quantity corrected for tank shape and sender tolerances.
  • LM335 sensor based temperature sender to indicate ice warning. The sender is normally fitted to the outside of a carburetor, in close proximity to the throttle slider or valve or in the intake airflow.
  • The EMS included with the Ultra provides for a wide variety of engines and the display unit can be configured in many different ways as outlined in the ‘Device setup menu’.
