Configuration: Dash2 & DL1 Sport.
I've read that the DL1 can stream battery voltage. When I apply +12V to one of the 0-12V inputs on the DL1, that channel reads ~30V. What is the procedure to do this?

Your DL1 should be fine for reading battery voltage. Check that there is no scaling being applied to the data being shown on the DASH2, you can check this by looking at it on the lite monitor. If you are seeing an odd voltage try connecting up the 5v ref and see what you get then. If you are still having problems please email support directly, support at race-technology dot com.

Can you explain how to do this without plugging it into a analog input channel..
IIRC, only early DL1s had a channel internally linked to battery voltage.
I've connected battery +VE to channel 8, then set formula as x=y. Job done.

Yeah but its only 12V max right?

12V nominal.
This is how i was advised to do it by RT support. Right now mine reads 12.6V.

Hello,
The maximum recorded voltage varied slightly as the DL1 evolved but you cannot damage the inputs with voltages less then 15v so i reommend you just connect it and see.
The ADC (Analogue to digital converter) used in the DL1 only have 8 inputs. On the first models it used to tie one of these to input voltage but it changed to letting the user decide. If you want battery voltage then you must connect it to one of the analogue inputs unless you have the information coming over an ECU interface.
Kind regards,
