Compatibility note

Not compatible with MXL2, MXS and MXG

ACC3 comes in two versions: the standard ACC3, wired to AiM devices (not compatible with MXL2, MXS or MXG), and ACC3 Open, which links to other devices over USB CAN.

Both manage up to 4 analog inputs at up to 1 kHz each — thermocouples, thermoresistances, 0-5V or 0-12V signals — plus 2 speed inputs with internal pull-up for open-drain/collector sensors. Anything from thermocouples to 0-12V output devices can be wired in, with thermocouples needing dedicated compensated cables and a choice of split-harness kits.

Channels are configured to match the sensor type once the right split harness is chosen; both versions support up to four K-type thermocouples.

ACC3 Open connects to a PC over its own USB cable, letting a CAN Output be built to talk to external devices (bit-rate, protocol, message fields and CAN payload); it can also work as a standard AiM Expansion with no restriction.

Both versions can be wired to Eclipse sensors, and data from AiM's linear potentiometers can be handled through the Suspension Analysis Tool in RaceStudio 3.

Versions

• ACC3 — connects to AiM devices via AiM CAN
• ACC3 Open — connects to other devices via USB CAN, configurable CAN Output, can also work as AiM Expansion

This compact CAN device opens up virtually unlimited expansion for a data acquisition system: each hub in the Channel Expansion range brings four extra channels, configurable as analog or digital, without touching the wiring already used elsewhere in the system.

Because it runs over CAN, the wiring shrinks from four separate cables to a single connection; a Data Hub lets as many Channel Expansions as needed be chained to the master logger. AiM marks it out of production on its own site.

Capturing everything needed to judge a car's performance means wiring in a lot of peripherals, which quickly adds up to a lot of cable. AiM built Data Hub as a CAN connection multiplier that sits between AiM loggers and their peripheral devices to solve exactly that.

Each hub connects the logger to four peripherals — for example LCU Series lambda controllers, a GPS09c, and one or more TC Hubs (a thermocouple multiplier) — feeding the logger everything it needs down a single cable.

It comes in two versions, a Two-way Data Hub with external power and a Four-way Data Hub; several hubs can be chained together to add more peripherals, and both carry an IP65 rating.

Versions

• Two-way Data Hub — with external power
• Four-way Data Hub

EPM adds power outputs to an existing installation, in two sizes: EPM08 with 8 outputs and EPM32 with 32. Both connect to MXS 1.2/1.3, MXP/MXP 1.3, MXG 1.2/1.3, MXT 1.3, PDM08, PDM32 and SW4.

From RaceStudio 3 version 3.81.00 onward, EPMs show up as expansions inside the system configuration with the same interface used for the other devices — alarms, icons, commands and status variables. Settings survive a disconnect or reset; channels with a label attached can be forced to a numeric value, and every power output (with its associated channel, current, status and activation) is grouped in a single box in the online view.

Versions

• EPM08 — 8 power outputs
• EPM32 — 32 power outputs

Track database

4,000+ tracks

GPS09c is offered in several versions:

• GPS09c — the base unit
• GPS09c Pro — adds a 6-axis, 100 Hz inertial platform
• GPS09c Open and GPS09c Pro Open — connect to CAN, RS232, the AiM network or other devices
• Free Wires variants of the Open and Pro Open versions
• Every version is available in Normal or Roof mechanical form

It is the basis of lap and split time calculation across every AiM system, arriving with start/finish coordinates for over 4,000 tracks so a dash or logger recognises the circuit automatically; if a track isn't in the database yet, the system simply treats it as new and still calculates lap times.

The Roof version mounts on the outside of the vehicle for an easier, tidier install, avoiding GPS reception issues that some cockpits create.

The Open and Pro Open versions work with any AiM or non-AiM system and offer three output streams; on non-AiM systems the protocol can be set to CAN or RS232, with NMEA output covering:

• DTM, GBS, GGA, GLL, GNS
• GRS, GSA, GST, GSV, RLM
• RMC, VLW, VTG, ZDA, TXT

A dedicated USB cable and RaceStudio 3 handle setup, including the CAN message's baud rate, ID, data length, byte order and frequency.

GPS09c works with the MX Series (MXS, MXP, MXG, MXT), the SmartyCam 4 Series (Corsa, GPD — excluding the Pro/Pro Open variants), EVO6/EVO6L, Solo 2 DL, PDM32/PDM08, and the older EVO4S, EVO5 and SmartyCam 3 Series.

K6, K8 and K15 are compact CAN-Bus keypads that resist water and dust and can be mounted inside or outside the cockpit, with 72 interchangeable inserts available for full customisation. Each is offered as an AiM Expansion, wired into an AiM master device such as a dash, dash logger or PDM, or as an Open version freely configured over USB with RaceStudio 3 and connected via CAN to any external device — Open versions can also be used as an AiM Expansion.

Across the range: reconfigurable buttons (momentary, toggle or multi-status), programmable RGB backlit rings and icons in 8 colours with solid or two blinking modes, CAN-Bus compatibility, vertical or horizontal mounting and the option to restore status on power-up. The buttons can also be set up to drive whichever AiM display is wired to the device, and every CAN message — how often it's sent, its ID, baud rate, byte order and contents — can be configured freely; Open versions can also read an incoming CAN input protocol and turn that into LED feedback.

Versions

• K6 — 6 keys, AiM Expansion or Open version
• K8 — 8 keys, AiM Expansion or Open version
• K15 — 15 keys, AiM Expansion or Open version

LCU Lambda Controllers come in two forms, an AiM Expansion and an Open version that connects to any device; LCU1S carries a single wide-band Bosch LSU 4.9 sensor, tuning carburetion precisely while saving its calibration for the sensor's working life — AiM designs that life to cover 100,000+ km in a stock car.

LCU controllers read Lambda values from 0.65 to 1.6 with high precision, useful for tuning; by analysing remaining oxygen they flag excess or shortfall in carburetion — essential information for both 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines. The stoichiometric ratio can be set for petrol, diesel or alternative fuels.

Open versions send data over CAN to any system, with the output freely configurable (IDs, message content, baud rate, frequency), and can equally be run as a plain AiM Expansion. RaceStudio 3's CAN Output sets the bit-rate protocol, message fields and CAN payload, while the Lambda Multiplier Manager lets the air-fuel ratio be customised or left at its default.

Versions

• LCU1S — AiM Expansion, single Lambda sensor
• LCU1S Open — Open version, single Lambda sensor

LCU2 is the twin-sensor member of the LCU family, wiring in two wide-band Bosch LSU 4.9 sensors so both banks of a twin-cylinder or twin-bank engine can be tuned; it too comes as an AiM Expansion or as an Open version that connects to any device over CAN.

Precision and reliability match LCU1S — Lambda readings from 0.65 to 1.6, with the stoichiometric ratio configurable for petrol, diesel or alternative fuels — and the Open version keeps the same flexible CAN output setup while still working as a plain AiM Expansion.

Versions

• LCU2 — AiM Expansion, dual Lambda sensor
• LCU2 Open — Open version, dual Lambda sensor

Memory Module is a compact SD-card holder that connects over CAN to AiM devices — MXL2, the first-generation MXG/MXS, EVO6, EVO6L, MXT 1.3, MXG 1.3, MXP 1.3, MXS 1.3, PDM08 and PDM32 — to record data during testing.

It works simply: once connected, data is saved to both the logger and the SD card, which is not included. The card can be swapped even during a pit stop with the engine still running, making it quick to pull data during endurance races or long sessions with little paddock time; when the session ends, the card moves from the Module to a PC for download and analysis in RaceStudio 3.

A front LED shows the Module's recording or firmware-update status, and it supports cards up to 32 GB.

Rear Camera lets AiM's MX Series dashes drive up to two cameras, showing the driver what's happening behind the car while driving or parking. Compatible dashes:

• MXS 1.3, MXP 1.3, MXG 1.3, MXT 1.3
• MXS 1.3 Strada, MXP 1.3 Strada, MXG 1.3 Strada, MXT 1.3 Strada

The image can be mirrored, and the rear view can be set to show a Park Overlay or not; footage from the rear camera is not recorded. A dedicated 5-pin Binder 712 female connector plugs one or two cameras straight into the device.

No standalone product page for the RPM-CAN Converter could be found on AiM's own site at the time of writing: it appears only as a photo-download entry and in the products list, with no dedicated specification sheet or description available. Specification and availability should be confirmed directly with AiM or with us before relying on this page for a purchase decision.

Shift Light Module is a compact bar of ten RGB LEDs that helps a driver track RPM thresholds and lap-time performance — useful when a car has a logger but no dash, or when the dash's own shift lights sit somewhere hard to see.

RaceStudio 3 lets each LED's colour and the RPM value that switches it on or off be set, with an option to vary this by gear; alarms can be solid or flashing at a chosen frequency. It can also work as a predictive lap timer, turning the LED bar green when the driver is improving on the session's best time and red when falling behind.

It is CAN-compatible with everything AiM currently builds, and the predictive lap timer works across all of them; compatibility with older or discontinued products should be checked in RaceStudio 3. Supported devices:

• MX 1.3 Series and MX 1.3 Strada Series
• MXm and MXq
• Solo 2 DL
• PDM08/32
• EVO6, EVO6L, ECULog and XLog
• SW4

Owners of an MX Strada dash (MXS 1.3 Strada, MXP 1.3 Strada, MXG 1.3 Strada, MXT 1.3 Strada) who want logger capability back can add Strada Logger, a compact module that captures and stores everything the ECU sends out.

Pairing it with a GPS09c brings in performance data too — lap timing, where the car is on track, top and average speed, acceleration and braking, plus ECU and sensor readings — all of it reviewable afterwards in RaceStudio 3.

Setup couldn't be simpler: connect it to the dash and it begins logging on its own, with nothing to configure. Strada Logger holds up to 32 GB (an SD card, sold separately from the kit), enough for roughly 2,000 hours of data at 1 kHz.

TC Hub adds four extra thermocouple channels over CAN to any AiM logger; chaining several hubs together covers every temperature point on the car, from exhaust gas readings per cylinder through to water, oil and head temperature.

Its aluminium housing keeps it waterproof and tough, sampling at a rate that can be set as high as 50 Hz on each channel while keeping the overall wiring simple. AiM marks it out of production on its own site.
