Functionality
The KS-4 contains all the great features of the KS-3 plus:

0-5v Analogue Data Out
The KS-4 contains a true 0-5v analogue data output. Data output rates are configurable at up to a blistering 100 samples per second and fully compatible with all datalogging software, Dyno's and ECU's.

External Trigger
The KS-4 external trigger function adds further flexibility by allowing you to power your own external warning devices when the KS-4 alarm is triggered.

Sensor Output
The signal from the sensor can be easily routed to another location within the vehicle. This can provide a more convenient location for the interface to the Knock Analyser Pro.

How does it work?
The KS-4 monitors engine knock levels and can be configured to alert the driver via a visual, audable or external warning device. The KS-4 can be used as a hand-held device or permanently mounted to the dashboard. The KS-4 is configurable for frequencies between 6 and 9 kHz. The system includes high quality Bosch Wideband Knock Sensor, Sensor Plug, Shielded Signal Cable, Mounting Kit and Wiring loom

Installation
The KS-4 has been designed to be very quick to install. The KS-4 comes as a complete kit containing everything necessary for the installation. A high quality Bosch knock sensor is included and is linked to the main unit via a high quality shielded signal cable. Installation is very simple: Mount the sensor, connnect the signal cable and connect the power supply.

What is Knock?
Knocking or detonation occurs when unburnt fuel in the combustion chamber explodes instead of burning in a controlled manner. When engine knock is occuring the pressure in the combustion chamber rises dramatically to levels that can destroy engine components in a few seconds.

Hi Jezz

So could you wire this into the e-manage ultimate fairly easily for data logging purposes?

Garth

[Jez]

Yup :)
It'll work with any ECU or wideband sensor that'll log a 0-5v input.

[Girth]

Do you know where to wire it into the ultimate? The knock sensor input?

[Jez]

I've not used the ultimate much - you just need to wire it to a 0-5v input.

Sorry for the delay in my reply - very busy at the moment.
I've asked about the power supply - I think its different.
I've also asked about a pic of the external warning light.

Hopefully you'll have receive the replacement knock cable.

[Damo]

Bugger wish i had waited instead of getting the old KS3.... could really do with the logging :nod:

[Damo]

you and me bother mate... on a plus note you can get 100 for the ks-3 ;)

[Jez]

The power supply connection is different - its so they can accommodate all the new functionality.

Attached is a picture of the LED. Its a 5mm Wide-angle LED, LED holder, resistor and heat shrink.

[Damo]

can you pm me a price for a new power supply cable for my ks-3 please?

not sure if i can really get a ks-4 now with it costing me 30 to get the ks-3 working again + power cable so i can sell it for only £100 :( i guess thats going to be about 50 back towards a 4 tho if i do

[Jez]

I'll get a price for the new power lead :)

[Damo]
