Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Toucan display. We hope it will be easy to install and configure,
and we recommend you read this guide before you start.
Installation
Before You Start
Please check the box contents to ensure nothing is missing. You should have:
Unit
Cable Harness
Mount (one of the following)
Installation
Connectors
ENSURE THE CAR BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
INSTALL YOUR TOUCAN DISPLAY UNIT
IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE CONSULT A QUALIFIED AUTOMOTIVE
ELECTRICIAN
BLACK Power Ground
YELLOW Permanent +12V
RED Switched +12V
ORANGE Lighting circuit
Multiway Connects to Toucan
unit
Wire ends with
terminals
Data connection
to MoTeC ecu

Power
Each power feed has an inline fuse holder pre-fitted with a 1 amp 20mm glass fuse.
Ensure a good ground connection is provided to the BLACK wire.
To allow Toucan to power up quickly, it is recommended that a connection to both a
permanent and switched (i.e. only live when the ignition is on) vehicle battery feed are
made. When the ignition is off, Toucan will consume about 40 milliamps from the
permanent connection –a typical, healthy, 40 amp-hour vehicle battery will last over a
month before being run completely flat by Toucan: but it’s your choice.
If you decide not to connect the YELLOW permanent +12 Volt, please make sure it is
wired along with the RED connection to the switched ignition feed; otherwise Toucan
may not start up when you turn on the ignition.
Toucan will take about 6 seconds to start if the permanent +12 Volt feed is not connected
compared to less than a second when the permanent connection is made.
A connection to the vehicle lighting circuit may be made using the ORANGE connector –
this will allow the Toucan unit to automatically dim when the vehicle lights are turned on.
If not required, please insulate the unused wire to prevent damage to the unit or vehicle.
CANbus wires
The end of the cable provides the CANbus connection to the ECU and the wires are pre-
terminated with the correct pin for the MoTeC ECU plugs. The wire colours are:
White CAN LO
Black CAN HI
These pins can be inserted into the appropriate location on the M1 ECU plugs –please refer
to the documentation for your specific M1 variant for the correct pin numbers.
Multiway Connector
This connects to the rear of the Toucan unit. Note that it has a latching tab that must be
depressed before the connector and cable can be detached.
The connector is intended to allow occasional removal of the unit from the car to allow,
for example, firmware updates to be applied.
When detaching the unit, take care not to put unnecessary strain on the
wires otherwise they may be damaged.

Page 5
In-vehicle Mounting
Toucan uses the Herbert Richter™4-prong mount system, which provides a secure mount
when in the vehicle, but easy removal should it be required.
The mount supplied is the choice made when you purchased your unit, but they may be
purchased separately, if required, from our website (www.JTi.uk.com).
MoTeC Configuration
Having checked the installation of your Toucan, ensuring all connectors are fully home
and especially that the power wiring is correct, reconnect the vehicle battery and turn on
the ignition. After a few seconds, Toucan should power up and display the main gauge
screen. Before it can display any gauges, the MoTeC ECU must be configured correctly.
Toucan uses the MoTeC “M1 General” datastream and defaults to a 1Mbit/s datarate
although that can be changed to 500kbit/s via the Toucan menus if required.
This stream should be enabled on the CANbus channel that Toucan has been wired to –
the setting is in M1 Tune via the “ECU Transmit” options under the Communications tab
of Vehicle settings.

MoTeC Control Functions
Toucan allows the following functions to be controlled from the touchscreen interface:
•launch control on/off
•antilag on/off
•launch RPM adjustment (10 steps)
•A 10 position “driver rotary switch”, usually used for calibration (“map”) switching
•A second 10 position driver rotary switch which can be used, for example, as a
traction control selection switch
•Keypad functions (e.g. cruise control on/off). These are described in a separate
document available on the JT Innovations website.
Data is transmitted as follows - a CANbus database (Vector/Kvaser “dbc”) file is available on
request.

To make use of these functions, User Inputs must be configured using the MoTeC M1 tune
software. This is done via the “ECU” and “Receive” options under the Communications tab of
Vehicle settings:
•Select the Physical CANbus channel used (e.g. CAN Bus 1)
•Set the CAN ID to 528 (NB –Toucan transmits with ID 529, but the setting in M1
Tune has to be a multiple of 16 as the “base” address for 16 received channels,
which in this case is 528).
The M1 ECU allows up to 4 “Driver CAN switches”, so only 4 of the functions above can be
controlled unless the M1 is running custom software. The required function can be allocated
to a Driver CAN Switch using the message and offset from the table above.
For example:
•to use Toucan’s launch switch, CAN Switch 1 could be allocated to Driver CAN
Switch 1 by setting it to Message 2 Offset 0
•In the “Race Functions” section of M1 Tune, configure the “Driver Anti Lag Switch
Index” to be “Driver CAN Switch 1”

Menus and Operation
Gauge Screens
Four gauge screens, plus a keypad screen, are available with complete flexibility of which
gauge is displayed and where. This can be configured via the Gauge Select pages,
accessible via the “Gauge Setup” button.
Only data from sensors that are actually connected to the ecu and are
configured correctly can actually be displayed.

Trim/Compensation CAL PIN Protection.
If enabled via the “more” menus, Toucan can be set to prevent the current
Trim/Compensation CAL being changed unless you enter a 4 digit PIN. This can be useful
if you have a “valet” mode (with reduced rpm limit for example) and/or an anti-theft CAL.
You can also set PIN protection to only apply to the last CAL (i.e. CAL 10), only to the first
CAL or to both the first and last CAL.
There are a few things to be aware of if you choose to use this option:
•The default PIN is 0000 and it is recommended that you change this to something
else.
•Once PIN protection is enabled, the (correct) PIN will need to be entered before you
can change the PIN, or to disable PIN protection again.
•If the PIN is entered incorrectly 3 times, PIN entry will be prevented for the next 10
minutes. Note that this 10 minute timeout will be reset if power is removed from the
unit.
•In the event that Toucan is disconnected from the Syvecs ecu, the ecu will, in most
cases default to CAL 8 (although this can be CAL 1 if a Syvecs input with no pullup
resistor is used). It is generally recommended that the valet or anti-theft CAL is in
position 8, or the PIN protect first CAL function (or first *and* last) is used.
•In the event that you forget the PIN it can be reset using a PC programme,
connecting to Toucan via USB. This programme is available from the JT Innovations
website, or contact technical support for assistance.
