Product Information
Full details
This AiM Motorsport Brake Pressure Sensor Kit is designed for OTK kart owners aiming to enhance their braking performance through detailed data analysis. The primary benefit is precise measurement of brake pedal pressure, allowing drivers to understand and refine their braking technique. A caveat is its specific compatibility with OTK karts featuring M10 threads. This kit includes a stainless steel inline T-piece and a patch lead, measuring brake pressure from 0 to 160 BAR, and is compatible with AiM MyChron4, MyChron5, and MyChron6 (including 2T) data loggers.

FAQs
What thread size is required for installation?
The sensor kit is designed for OTK karts with M10 thread size connections.
Which AiM data loggers are compatible with this sensor?
This sensor is compatible with AiM MyChron4, MyChron5, and MyChron6 (including 2T versions).
What is the maximum pressure the sensor can measure?
The sensor can measure brake pressure from 0 to 160 BAR.
Do I need any special software to analyze the data?
Yes, the recorded data can be analyzed using AiM's Race Studio software.
Is the patch lead included with the sensor kit?
Yes, the sensor is supplied complete with the necessary patch lead.
Can this sensor be used on karts other than OTK brands?
This specific kit is designed for OTK karts with M10 threads. Other applications may require different adapters or sensor configurations.
How does this sensor help improve lap times?
By providing precise data on brake pedal application, it allows drivers to refine their braking technique, leading to more consistent corner entries and potentially faster lap times.
Troubleshooting
Sensor not detected by data logger
Verify the patch lead is securely connected to both the sensor and the data logger. Ensure the data logger is powered on and the correct input channel is configured. Check for any visible damage to the patch lead.
Inconsistent or erratic pressure readings
Check for air in the brake system; bleed the brakes if necessary. Inspect the sensor and T-piece for any leaks or damage. Ensure all connections are tight.
Low or zero pressure readings during braking
Confirm the sensor is correctly installed in the brake line. Check the patch lead connection. Ensure sufficient pressure is being applied to the pedal; test with the brakes applied manually if possible.
