IQ3 Street Logger Dash Functions
The IQ3 Street Logger Dash is the main component of the system, as it contains the main
communication module.
PC Minimum Requirements
Windows® XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 operating system
USB 2.0 Port/ 1024 x 768 or higher monitor resolution
DataLink Programming Software
The DataLink software is used to both set up and configure the IQ3 Street Logger Dash. It will be
used to modify any settings, page layouts, warning light settings, etc. The DataLink software
requires a Windows based PC with a USB 2.0 port for communication. Programming cable is
supplied in the kit.
IQ3 Street Logger Dash Configuration File (software)
The Configuration File contains the programming settings for both the dash and any internal and
external sensors utilized by the IQ3 Street Logger Dash. Any additional sensors that were not
shipped with the IQ3 Street Logger Dash will require updating and syncing of the configuration file.
Data Recording Activation
Any active channel may be used to start logging. From the factory, the IQ3 Street Logger Dash is
programmed to start logging if either pushbutton is held for at least 5 seconds and stops logging
when power is switched off on the dash. A data file is written every 3 seconds to the memory card
during recording. When power is switched off, the last 3 seconds of data may not have been written
to the card to so take note of this. Once written to the card, the file is numbered in subsequent
order (1,2,3,etc). The start logging channel may be changed to any valid sensor channel, by the user.
Terminology
In order to assist in the installation and usage of the IQ3 Street Logger Dash, the following provides
an outline of the most commonly used words that will be encountered in this manual:
Analog: Data created by the reading of a voltage change sent from a sensor.
Calibrate: The process of assigning values to sensor voltage output, in order to graph and analyze the sensor data.
CAN bus: The specific name of the technology utilized to create the V-Net sensor system.
Channel: The input from one sensor.
Digital: A sensor or signal that has only two values, off or on such as the measuring of ignition pulses to calculate Engine RPM.
HZ: Number of times per second. Used to define sample rate. Example: 4Hz represents data that is saved 4 times (every .250) per
second.
Sensor: A device that converts a physical property, such as pressure into a voltage signal.
Transducer: See Sensor.
V-Net Channel: Any sensor that is connected to the V-Net port of the IQ3 Street Logger Dash.
V-Net: Racepak exclusive that allows multiple sensors (analog or digital) to transmit their data over a single cable, back to the IQ3
Street Logger Dash.

Installation
The design of the IQ3 Street Logger Dash kit greatly simplifies the installation process, as there is no
external data logger or related components necessary. However, there are basic guidelines that
must be followed in order to ensure correct operation of the product.
General Mounting Requirements
The IQ3 Street Logger Dash is designed to be utilized in a typical street car environment and is
designed as such. However, there are external conditions that can influence the operation and
longevity of the product and associated wiring.
Heat
Avoid excessive heat, such as generated from exhaust systems, transmissions, etc.
Electrical Interference
Avoid electrical interference. Vehicles generate electrical interference from a variety of locations
such as ignitions, alternators, ECU, spark plugs, coils and radio/GPS/telemetry antennas. This
interference can affect the signals generated by any or all of the sensors that relay information back
to the dash.
Moisture
Avoid excessive moisture. The IQ3 Street Logger Dash is designed to be water resistant but not
waterproof. This means when installed in open cockpit type of vehicles (such as, convertibles) it is
safe for use in light rain but not designed to be subject to immersion of water. Excessive water
buildup can enter dash and damage the unit.
Cleaning
Clean glass lens initially with a lint-free, non-abrasive (microfiber type) cloth. Do not apply too much
pressure to the screen. If using a cleaning solution, DO NOT use an all-purpose cleaner with
acetone, ammonia-based or alcohol, since they can take off the dash’s protective coating. 100%
distilled water and/or 50%/50% distilled water and white vinegar is best. Heavy dust and dirt can be
blown away by using small cans of compressed air made for cleaning camera and computer
equipment.
Mounting Orientation of IQ3 Street Logger Dash
It is important to insure the IQ3 cannot become dislodged during use. Three #10 studs are provided
in order to provide secure mounting. If desired, the studs can be unscrewed from the threaded
inserts located in the dash housing.

External V-Net Sensor Connection (optional add ons)
When installing any optional additional sensors to the IQ3 Street Logger Dash, it will utilize the Racepak V-
Net (CAN bus) for input. These added sensors are connected using “stackable” modules that connect to the
round 5 pin V-Net port on the rear of the dash. This design provides the ability to transmit all sensor data
through a single cable by use of these “stacking” modules. A cap is then placed at the end of the “stack” to
terminate the system. The modules are typically available with sensors in kit form. Extension cables are
available in a variety of lengths to connect multiple “stacks” of modules that may be installed in different
locations throughout the vehicle.
To add sensors, the customer simply measures from the IQ3 Street Logger Dash to the mounting location of
the “stackable” module or modules, and orders the appropriate length pre-terminated V-Net extension
cable. V-Net cables are available in 12” increments and are equipped with a male connector on one end
and a female connector on the opposite end. In the event sensors are
mounted in multiple locations throughout the vehicle, simply measure
between each sensor location and order the necessary V-Net extension
cables to connect all items to the main V-Net cable routed to the rear of
the dash.
Any V-Net sensor currently offered by Racepak may be utilized by the IQ3 Street Logger Dash. For a
complete listing of available sensors, visit our website located at www.racepak.com or contact the Racepak
customer service department at 949-709-5555 for a catalog. Customer supplied sensors may also be
utilized. Racepak USM module (PN: 230-VM-USM) is a four sensor input module, providing the ability to
define each sensor input dependent on the sensor type. DataLink software is used to both set up and
configure the IQ3 Street Logger Dash using a Windows based PC. It will be used to modify any settings,
page layouts, warning light settings, add additional sensors, etc. See Programming the Display Using the
DataLink Software section shown later in this manual for further details.

Factory Default Display Settings
The IQ3 Street Logger Dash is shipped with factory pre-programmed display pages. To modify these
display pages, you must use a PC, programming cables and the Datalink program. This is outlined in
the Programming the Display Using the DataLink Software area of this manual. Using the external
programming buttons, a factory reset can be performed to revert all settings and pages back to as
factory shipped (excludes hour/service and odometer values). Further details about the display page
settings can be located later in this manual in the Programming the display section found on
page 43.
