Main Power
The NEXUS R5 must be connected to battery
positive and battery negative at all times for
correct operation.
• Connect the NEXUS R5 to the positive battery
terminalvia the supplied RED SurLok connector
using 1AWG cable and to the negative battery
terminal via the black SurLok connector using
1AWG cable.
There is aninternal 32VDC 200A Positive Inline
Fuse inside the ECU for overcurrent protection.
NOTE: the fuse is not auser-serviceable part.
An ignition switch input must bewired to the
NEXUS R5 to turn the unit on.
There are two ways to provide an ignition switch
signal:
• Method 1: Connect the power for ignition
switchon pin A26 to one side of the ignition switch,
and connect the ignition switch input on pin A13 to
the other side of the switch.
This way, when the ignition switch is closed, the
ECU will see a +12V signal on the ignition switch
input and power up the ECU.
• Method 2: instead of using thepower for ignition
switchpin, the hot side of the ignition switch can
simply be wired to any constant +12V source,
such that a +12V signal is detected on the ignition
switch input to power up the ECU.
Thispower for ignition switchprovides a very
low current constant +12V signal and must only
be used to provide a signal back into the ignition
switch input.
The battery ground pins on the NEXUS R5 are
NOT used to ground the ECU and should not be
connected to battery negativeor the chassis.
The battery ground pins are capable of3A current
per pin and are directly linked to the battery
negative stud internal to the NEXUS R5.
These pins are for shielding or to ground low
current CAN devices (e.g. keypads) and digital
sensors.
There are two sensor +5V pins (A and B) for
sensors, and two signal ground pins (A and B).
Each is capable of 200mA and can be used in any
order, e.g +5V supply (A) and signal ground (B) can
be wired to the same sensor.

Ignition Outputs
Ignition outputs must be connected directly to
an ignition module to control the ignition of the
vehicle.
Do not connect directly to a coil without an internal
or external ignition module as doing this will
damage the ECU.
The ECU ignition output produces a signal between
12V and ground to control the ignition module
allowing the charging and firing of the coil.
When not used for ignition, pins can be used as
generic Digital Pulsed Outputs (DPO) capable of
switching 3A to ground.
Specs:
• Software selectable global 12V or 5V
pull-up Voltage
• Individual software selectable 270R
pull-up Enable
• Flyback protected
• 3A sink current
• 10kHz switching speed
• Automatic overcurrent protection
• 0 to 27V voltage feedback
WARNING
Connecting the ECU to an ignition module before
setting the ignition firing edge correctly may
damage the module and coils, therefore it is
advised to disconnect the module or disable the
power to the ignition system until the unit has
been setup and configured.

Digital Pulsed Outputs (DPO)
Digital Pulsed Outputs are capable of producing
pulsed waveforms with varying duty and
frequency.
When a Digital Pulsed Output is activated by the
ECU the output will switch to ground.
The pull-up voltage specifies the waveforms
maximum voltage output eg 0 to 12V or 0 to 5V.
DPOs can be used to control various low-current

• 0 to 27V voltage feedback
Half Bridge Outputs (HBO)
Half Bridge Outputs are push-pull pulse width
modulated (PWM) outputs. If not being used as
push-pull drivers, Half Bridge Outputs can be
used as generic high/low PWM outputs capable
ofsinking 8A to ground and driving 8A to 12V at
2.2kHz.
HBOs can be used to control any push-pull type
device such as DBW throttle motors (max of 2
wired separately) and stepper motors.
When used as generic high/low switched or
PWM outputs, Half Bridge Outputs can be used
as generic low-side DPOs or to control devices
such as high-side driven solenoids (e.g. VTEC
Solenoids), high side switched automatic
transmission solenoids etc.

8A High Current Outputs (8A HCO)
The NEXUS R5 features 12 high side outputs which
are capable of driving 8A to 12V.
Each output has a software programmable fuse
current.
Once the electronic fuse blows the output turns
off for a software programmable delay duration,
before reactivating the output.
Use the software to define the maximum number
of retries before the output is deactivated untilthe
next ECU reboot. The ECU LEDs display the output
state.
8A HCOs are PWM capable and can be used to
power CAN devices or solenoids.
They can also control automatic transmission
shift solenoids, water pumps, some nitrous and
transbrake solenoids etc.

Crank (Trigger) and Cam (Home) Inputs
The crank and cam position sensors are required
so that the ECU has the necessary information
available to determine engine speed and position
at any point in time.
Generally two sensors are required - a cam
position and crank position, however many
engines will have just a cam position sensor that
is capable of giving the ECU enough information to
run the engine correctly.
Vehicles that have a crank position sensor only
are not capable of determining the difference
between compression stroke and exhaust stroke
and therefore are not suitable for sequential fire
applications.
In this case a cam position sensor may need to be
added.
It is recommended that four-core or twin-core
shielded cable is used for crank and cam position
sensors. Shields must be terminated to battery
ground at one end only.
Specs:
• -5V to 5V input
• 1 million samples per second
• Selectable 1k2 or 440R pull-up to 5V
• Selectable ground reference (full differential
standard mode)
• -75 to 75V indefinite withstand
• 48kHz max signal frequency
There are two common types of crank/cam sensor
signals:
• Hall effect/optical signal
(0-5V digital square wave signal)
Hall effect sensors usually have 3 wires; a power
supply (5V, 8V or 12V), a ground and a signal
out wire. The power supply can be taken from
the Sensor +5V pin, sensor +8V pin or a HCO as
required.
• Reluctor signal (analog style signal)
This type of sensor will generally only have two
wires, signal positive (+) and signal negative ( - )
Sensors with a +5V supply do not require the pull-
up resistor be enabled, for example, rotary trim
modules.
Any sensor +5V pin can be used with any signal
ground pin for sensors.

The NEXUS R5 ECU uses the knock sensor signal
to modify ignition timing if knocking occurs.
Knock detection can be performed by the ECU by
installing a compatible piezoelectric knock sensor
mounted to the engine block.
It is recommended that twin-core shielded cable
is used for knock sensors. Shields must be
terminated to battery ground at one end only.

Analogue Voltage Inputs (AVI)
Analogue Voltage Inputs are inputs to the ECU that
accept variable voltage signals from 0V to +5V
such as signals from pressure, temperature and
fuel level sensors.
AVI inputs can tolerate a maximum input voltage
of 30V.
These inputs can also accept switched inputs that
change between two different voltage levels.
The On Voltage and Off Voltage define what the
thresholds are between the on and off states.
The voltage can be viewed as a channel in NSP to
determine the thresholds for a switched input.
Common examples of switched inputs include A/C
Request switch and intercooler spray switch.
AVIs have a software selectable 1K pull-up
resistor to 5V, which can be enabled or disabled
within the setup page.
Pull-up resistors are generally enabled for
temperature related sensors and switched to
ground inputs.
Specs:
• 0 to 5V
• 1000 samples per second
• Selectable 1k pull-up to 5V
• -10 to 30V indefinite withstand
