Land
& Sea’s Data Acquisition Dynamometer Conversions allow upgrading older
analog and hydraulic dynamometers with state-of-the-art computerized
data collection and engine control. DYNOmite data-acquisition computers,
transducers, and control electronics deliver a price/performance ratio
formerly unheard of in professional dynamometer test systems.
“Give your existing dynamometer a new lease on
life.”

Typical
conversion kits include: DYNOmite data-acquisition computer with from 3
to over 112 channels (with or without optional LCD display and pushbutton
handheld interface), full-bridge strain- gauge-equipped electronic load cell
torque transducer, AC power supply/recharger, data wiring harness,
engine-temperature thermistor, and protective carrying case.
Our DYNOmite data- acquisition
electronics automatically capture true torque, RPM, elapsed time, etc.,
while calculating Hp at up to 1,000 readings per second (that’s per channel, not
just a total). The board’s computer can even be set to automatically apply
Standard SAE correction factors for air temperature, barometric pressure, and
relative humidity. This eliminates running engines to death while trying to
manually record all the data. Handheld DYNOmite models display results on their
LCDs and can print to an optional portable battery-powered printer. No prior
computer knowledge is required to start testing and analyzing data like the
pros.
DYNO-MAX™ Software
option creates a full engine dynamometer lab console on your PC.
Features include: real-time trace-chart graph display, adjustable visual and
voice limit warnings, pushbutton controls, user configurable analog and digital
gauges, plus incredibly powerful post-test data analysis tools. (Click

for a full list of features.)
Integrate your PC by using
DYNO-MAX with appropriate automated electronic load and throttle control
hardware options for keyboard dyno control. Without special programming,
operators can easily execute even complex race simulations and engine test
cycles. No other dyno software adapts and expands so easily to virtually any
level of testing sophistication.
Affordable
expansion upgrades (up to 112+ channels) include: fuel-flow and airflow
turbines, brake- specific fuel consumption, brake-specific air consumption,
air/fuel ratio, exhaust-gas temperature, engine-temperature thermistors, air
temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, sparkplug thermocouple kits, RTDs,
pressure transducers, 0-5 volt auxiliary inputs (for many wide-band air/fuel
ratio sensors, knock sensors, etc.) and outputs, high-speed cylinder-pressure
mapping, and both servo load and throttle control options. Like the DYNOmite
itself, these upgrades won’t eat your entire testing budget.
Available
torque sensor options include full-bridge (temperature-compensated)
strain-gauge S-beam load cells, high-resolution pressure transducers, and
wireless rotary-torque transducers. All of them are maintenance free and feature
our semi-automatic (pushbutton) calibration of zero offset. Conversions can
usually retain the system’s original torque sensor and display in parallel with
the new electronics.
Forget
inaccurate paper and pencil logging – throw out that DOS-based software
and get professional one-person operation. Owners of older analog Clayton,
Dynojet, Dyno Dynamics, Froude, Go Power, K & O, Maha, Maxwell, Mustang, Stuska,
Sun Road-a-Matic, SuperFlow, etc. brakes and rolls may take advantage of most
DYNOmite and DYNO-MAX features without purchasing new absorbers or engine
stands.
Advanced standard features
including: Smart Record™, real-time data dampening, spike filtering,
playback data averaging, atmospheric correction, auto-zeroing, instant playback,
and integral rev-limiter.
DYNO-MAX
control functions include: water-brake, hydraulic, AC, or eddy-current
absorber load control, throttle-position torque control, and switched relays to
control fuel pump(s), engine starter, cell ventilation blowers, water supply
valves, N2O injection, etc. Choose from “canned” cycles, or customize tests
using its advanced custom automated-test-editor tool.
Electronic load and throttle control
options – just push buttons to select the test RPM, or set a sweep rate
and the DYNOmite’s own advanced PID algorithm runs the whole show – all hands
free.
Inexpensively
update that obsolete analog dyno for the new millennium. Computerization
eliminates the need for two people to try and monitor the operation of your
engine testing. It also eliminates observer bias from the results. Today’s
front-runners are already scrutinizing every single line of their own
dynamometer’s data; do not be left behind!
Convert motor,
transmission, or chassis dynamometers! The DYNOmite and DYNO-MAX team
includes features to allow optimizing them for almost any type of power train
testing. Whether you are restoring some old analog emissions rolling-road,
building a new transmission dyno, measuring an electric or air-motor’s
performance, upgrading a speedometer calibration tester, or secretly testing
your own space-age transportation invention… we are ready to help you. A
DYNOmite conversion can bring full load control and road-load simulations to
your inertia dyno, or cylinder-pressure mapping to many 1960 vintage water-brake
systems. It does not matter if you are monitoring 100 or 100,000+ RPM shaft
speeds. We offer ¼ to 10,000 ft-lb load cells, and support multi-channel data
collection rates from 200 to over 200,000 Hertz. If you are upgrading a dyno,
you have found your solution.
Doubles
as a race recorder to capture all your standard dyno data – at the
track. Our array of “on-vehicle” sensor options include: forward and lateral Gs,
distance, MPH, MPG, shift ratio, transmission slip, ETs, 0-5 volt auxiliary
inputs (for lambda sensors, shock/suspension travel, etc.), wireless rotating
driveshaft torque and Hp, OBD-II data, and GPS location (maps the vehicle’s
position via orbiting satellites). Radio modem telemetry is even available to
broadcast real-time track data back to your race pit crew’s laptop.
Live-person technical phone support
provides a significant advantage over other companies’ obnoxious voice-mail
runarounds. Our standard hardware phone and e-mail support, plus access to the
special DYNOmite owners 24/7 web support area, are all FREE!
