THE SAFARI ARMAX ‘X SERIES’

The ARMAX ECU has 5 pre-calibrated maps for all user conditions but can be altered to suit specific applications. The plug and play wiring harness makes installation quick and easy and vehicle specific mounting bracketry complements the installation. The Safari ARMAX ‘X Series’ ECU is the total package, no upgrades required, no additional units needed. It is a total system solution specifically designed for your 4×4 vehicle.

The ‘X Series’ ARMAX ECU increases the open duration and the injection timing point of the fuel injector, allowing more diesel fuel to enter the combustion chamber. Due to the increase in fuel, the boost pressure the engine receives from the turbocharger is increased, optimizing the air fuel ratio. The result is increased engine power, torque, and better throttle response.

In some applications, the fuel system pressure is increased at specific engine RPM points and load demands to ensure accurate fuel delivery to the injector.

This approach ensures the service life of the mechanical components in the fuel system are not influenced. Another Standard feature of the ARMAX ECU is the ability to change the throttle sensitivity, this feature can be tailored to individual driver requirements.

The ‘X Series’ ARMAX ECU blends seamlessly with the factory ECU due to its ability to sense engine load from multiple sources such as Engine RPM, Manifold Pressure, Fuel Pressure, Throttle Position and Exhaust Gas Temperature. From here the ECU very precisely calculates the engine load and accordingly adjusts the parameters to meet the pre-calibrated demand.

The ARMAX ECU delivers a strong yet very smooth power enhancement, as the driver demands more power the ECU delivers more power.

The Safari ARMAX ‘X Series’ Engine Control Unit (ECU) is designed to work harmoniously with your vehicles OE Engine Control Unit resulting in more power, more torque, better throttle response, less fuel consumption and less turbo lag. This is all backed up by Safari’s sophisticated engine protection systems which are constantly live monitoring your vehicle for total drivetrain safety and ultimate reliability.

MAP SELECTION

The Safari ARMAX Engine Control Unit (ECU) includes an illuminated in-cab adjustable map selection switch. The press of a button changes your vehicles driving characteristics between 5 different modes (maps).

1. COMFORT
-Progressive power and torque delivery, great for everyday driving.

2. SPORT
– Enhanced throttle response with strong power and torque delivery.

3. TOWING
– With an emphasis on low end torque and reduced top end power to protect your vehicle whilst towing extra weight at ease.

4. TRACTION ASSIST
– Slow and smooth throttle response whilst maintaining full power and torque to navigate difficult terrain.

5. STANDARD
– Vehicle set to standard OEM power and torque output. Allows ECU to be fitted to brand new vehicle for run-in period.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT), is the single most important factor to the long-term life of your internal combustion diesel engine.

If EGT values increase to dangerous levels then engine failure is imminent. That is why the ARMAX ECU utilizes a closed loop sensor feedback system to constantly monitor the vehicles exhaust gas temperature allowing for instant response.

When abnormally high EGT values are reported by the EGT sensor, mounted in the vehicles exhaust system, the ECU decreases the amount of fuel injected into the engine. This reduction allows the EGT to return to safe operating levels reducing load on the engine. Once this has occurred the ECU will then gradually increase the amount of fuel injected, allowing the engine to return to full power in a controlled manor.

Adversely, if the EGT value is too cold (low engine temperatures), the ARMAX ECU progressively adds power as the operating temperature of the vehicle increases.

Another feature of the total EGT protection system is the ARMAX ECU carries out a number of plausibility checks, this system ensures the closed loop exhaust temperature feedback system is always precise in its reporting.

If a check falls outside the allowable tolerance the unit simply reduces the power level and protects the engine.

This feature is unique to the Safari ARMAX ECU providing total peace of mind.

The ARMAX ECU also calculates the engine cooling system temperature, this is important as a large percent of engine wear occurs when the engine is cold. Accordingly, the ARMAX ECU doesn’t apply any additional power whilst the engine is cold i.e. on start up. As the engine warms up the ARMAX ECU progressively increases its influence, once full operating temperature is achieved the unit will perform to its full potential.

IP68 RATED

The Safari ARMAX ECU enclosure proudly earned an IP68 (Ingress Protection) rating meaning it is protected from dust, dirt and sand ingress and can be continuously submersed in water beyond 1m.

The Safari ARMAX ECU received such an impressive IP (Ingress Protection) rating with the use of several key features

The enclosure has a billet aluminium base which also acts as the main heatsink for the printed circuit board (PCB).
An ABS plastic glass reinforced housing which offers excellent impact protection. A unique and cleverly designed perimeter sealing system.
An automotive vent which continuously balances the internal pressure of the enclosure as well as removing any internal condensation.
Resin filled enclosure to protect the PCB against vibration and aid in thermal shock protection.

DRIVETRAIN PROTECTION

OE manufacturers utilize a system on vehicles called torque reduction on gear change. This reduces the torque applied by the engine to the transmission when a gear change occurs.

This allows the vehicle to shift gears smoothly but most importantly protect the life of the internal components of the transmission. The Safari ARMAX ECU is specifically programmed to sense when the gear change is occurring and also reduces the torque to ensure the transmissions performance and service life is totally preserved.

This feature, coupled with the engine protection systems offers a total drivetrain protection solution.

70 SERIES 1VD-FTV ECU FEATURE

Direct Variable Vane Control (DVVC)
Increased Low RPM Power and Torque
Reduced Turbo Lag
Increased Throttle Response
Reduced Fuel Consumption
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Compatible
Retains ARMAX Engine and Drivetrain Warranty*

WHAT IS DIRECT TORQUE?

The DirectTorque feature is designed specifically for the 70 Series V8 Landcruiser where the ARMAX Engine Control Unit (ECU) takes direct control of the engines Turbocharger, allowing the engines torque curve to be altered without restriction.

The ARMAX ECU optimises the engines boost delivery to ensure strong delivery of Low RPM power and torque. Additional benefits are reduced turbo lag, improved throttle response and reduced fuel consumption. Suits both DPF equipped and Non-DPF models.

AUSTRALIAN MADE &

ENGINEERED WITH ESSENTIAL FEATURES

Safari’s excellent reputation in Australia for manufacturing high quality 4×4 components is unchanged with the Safari ARMAX Performance ECU. All components are proudly made and assembled in Australia to ensure the highest quality is achieved as well as being rigorously tried and tested for countless hours in some of Australia’s harshest environments.

THROTTLE MANAGEMENT

The Safari ARMAX Performance ECU incorporates the ability to adjust the sensitivity of the vehicles throttle pedal, this greatly improves throttle response and can be custom tuned to your individual needs.

CALIBRATION FILES

Safari 4×4 Engineering have an extensive library of calibration files (tuning maps) to suit standard vehicles as well as multiple combinations of popular vehicle modifications. These include items such as Snorkels, Intercoolers and Exhaust systems

WIRING HARNESS

Each ARMAX ECU application has a vehicle specific wiring harness to ensure a precise fit which is tailored to each vehicle, it is necessary to route the harness through the vehicle in a specific way, so that the harness is not subject to abnormal vibration, heat, movement and interference.

REMOTE ACCESS

Ethernet connectivity is used to provide data logging, this enables engine analysis to be viewed live via the M1 tune software whilst connected to a PC, or be downloaded and viewed remotely. This gives Safari the ability to perform engine diagnostics and troubleshooting.

M1 TECHNOLOGY

The Safari ARMAX Engine Control Unit (ECU) is powered by M1 technology. M1 technology is comprised of a suite of tools for developing automotive control systems, with a focus on engine control.
