Introduction 

SDL3 - Sport Dash Logger 

The SDL3 is a combined sophisticated display and powerful control device in 
one lightweight unit. With the addition of a Data Logging upgrade it becomes 
a fully programmable data logger with 16 MB or 120 MB memory (see Dash 
Logger Upgrades). The screen layout is fully configurable to display a 
multitude of data channels, warning alarms, lap times, fuel calculations, 
minimum corner speeds, maximum straight speeds and more. The SDL3 
performs calculations, acquiring data from other MoTeC devices such as an 
ECU, other Dash Logger and input expander modules, which enable it to log a 
multitude of inputs. 

ESDL3 - Enclosed Sport Dash Logger 

The ESDL3 is an enclosed version of the SDL3, providing the flexibility to 
connect a display suitable for your application or to use as a 'black box' type 
data logger. It functions in the same way and uses the same software as the 
SDL3.  
In the remainder of this documentation when reference is made to the SDL3 
Dash Logger, it also applies to the ESDL3 – except when referring to the 
display. 

Features 

All MoTeC Dash Loggers come with a range of features as standard and 
several options available as upgrades to customise and grow your system. 
These additional features are activated through a simple password system, 
and can be purchased at any time when you need them.  
See Dash Logger Upgrades 

General 

  All-in-one display, logger and controller eliminates the need for separate 

devices 

  Suitable for bikes, cars, marine and industrial applications 

  Compact, durable and reliable unit 

  Supports wideband Lambda from PLMs or LTCs, using Bosch LSU or 

NTK UEGO 5 wire sensors 

  Straightforward control for lights, fans, pumps 

  Easily integrated with MoTeC CAN based devices e.g. expanders, lap 

timing devices, shift lights and ECUs
