switched wideband power?
hi
i am instaling an innovate lc1 with an xd 16 gauge .
i do not know where to power the wideband from.if i power it from an accesory source as per manual that means that when i turn the key to acc the wideband starts heating. is it good or NOT? what if i do not want to start the engine?i assume that i will have serius batery drainage.
do you guys have an idea?
if i install a power switch? i have the questions:
1) what if i start the car and forgot to turn on the wideband ?can i damage the sensor if the engine started without the wideband power on?
2)install a switch before the controler or only to the sensors +12v power?(and run the controlers power to the acc source)
i read as many posts i could about that but i am not sure what to do.
can you direct me?
thanks!!!

You shoud not have a problem wiring it up to an acc source. I should not damage the sensor, I would not recommend wiring it to a switch unless you really want to have the ability to turn it on and off at will. The sensor is sensitive and running a cold sensor is not recommended by the factory. If you go to the innovate website they had a good write up on warming the sensor and break in.

Just hooked the LC-1 up also.....I'm concerned with my read out on the gauge showing a 7.5....granted I just got a map to download to the Power FC. The car would not stay running with FC, LC-1, datalogit hooked up....downloading map tonight! Hope this cures the read out. Some of the instructions are confusing when it comes to the wires.
