HowDoI / ConnectAStartStopSwitchToTheDL1PRO

How do I connect a start/stop switch with indicator?

To connect a start/stop switch, wire as shown in the diagram below:

The "start/stop" button gives the driver the option of starting/stopping logging on the DL1 without having to press the button on the unit itself. Unlike the sensors that may be connected to the DL1, the start/stop button has three connecting wires, and needs to be connected differently.

Step 1: Connect the wires on the start/stop button to the black, block connector that is on the end of the DL1 power cable. Once the block connector is plugged into the back of the DL1, the orange writing on the unit will tell you where to put the wires:

  • Red should be connected to 12v
  • Blue should be connected to A8
  • Yellow should be connected to A12

Step 2: The DL1 will need to be configured to use Analogue 8 as the trigger input, and to use Analogue 12 as the status output. For instructions on how to do that see here:
