Chapter 1. Introducing the WiFi Recorder
The Stack ST8956(W) WiFi Recorder (MFRW) can monitor a
range of values, known as performance parameters, needed for
effective car and driver management in most competitive
situations.
The system consists of a ten-input sensor module with a built-in
32 megabyte data recorder.
All of the sensors may be recorded at rates up to 200 samples
per second (200 Hz). Data recording can be configured to start
when a parameter, eg, Engine Speed, rises above a preset value.
The recorder can hold thirty Runs and those runs can be
downloaded to your PC using the Stack DataPro software (see
separate Users Guide).
The MFR(W) can be used to drive a configurable remote
Display Module (ST8995-2) in real-time.
ST8956(W) WiFi Recorder can record up to 45 channels across
the Stack CAN network as a whole, with a network capacity of
up to 4000 sps.
All the features of the ST8956 Multi-Function Recorder operate
as usual. The WiFi option also allows the convenience of
downloading data without physically connecting to the on-car
system.
How to use this Manual
Stack recommends that you unpack and connect the components
in the system before you install it in your vehicle. This will
enable you to familiarise yourself with operating the system and
configuring it for the vehicle in which you intend to install it.
!
This manual does not attempt to explain how to interpret or use
the information from the ST8956(W) WiFi Recorder as this is
very specific to the type of vehicle in which it is installed and the
type of competition in which that vehicle is engaged.

The WiFi Recorder Module
The WiFi Recorder Module consists of a compact cast
aluminium module. That module is connected to up to ten
external sensors by a wiring harness with a 19-way military
connector. A second wiring harness with a 4-way military
connector is used to connect power to the module and for
downloading data to a PC.
A third connector allows a WiFi Antenna to be connected.

2. Connect the three switches to the wires labelled S1, S2 and
S3. If no display, just connect S2.
3. Connect the Recording/Alarm Light to the wire labelled AL.
4. Connect the optional Multi-stage Shift Light or Single Shift
Light to the wire labelled SL.
5. Connect the optional CAN ECU adaptor harness to A5 and
A6.
6. If you have the optional ST8995-2 Display Module, connect
it to the wire labelled DSP.
!
Analogue inputs A9 and A10 MUST remain disconnected if
a Display Module is being used.
7. Connect each of the sensors that you have purchased to the
appropriate wire in the wiring harness. The first four sensor
connections (PA1 to PA4) can handle either Pulse or
Analogue (5 volt) sensors. The remaining six connections
(A5 to A10) can only handle Analogue sensors.
8. Connect the SMA Jack on the antenna cable to the socket on
WiFi Recorder.
9. Connect a 12v DC power supply to the power input cable,
eg, from a car battery. B+ is battery positive and B- is
battery negative. Protect the B+ line with a 5 amp fuse.
10. Switch on the 12v DC power supply.
You can now proceed to familiarise yourself with operating the
WiFi Recorder.

vehicle.
Fitting the WiFi Recorder Module
The WiFi Recorder Module should be fitted to your vehicle as
described in the ST8956 Multi-Function Recorder User Guide.
The following sections describe the extra fitting instructions for
the WiFi antenna.
WiFi Antenna Installation
Antenna mounting position
•The antenna must be mounted as high as possible on the
vehicle.
•The mounting position must give clear line of sight between
the vehicle antenna and the pit lane antenna when the
vehicle is travelling in the pit lane.
•The surface to which the antenna is attached should be flat.
A maximum contour of 12 mm (0.5”) is allowed within a
diameter of 0.2 metres (8”).
•The mounting surface should be horizontal to within
±10 degrees maximum.
•The antenna should be adjusted to keep the antenna within
±5 degrees of vertical.
•No structural material or bodywork should be higher than
25 mm (1”) within a 0.6 m (2 ft) radius of the antenna base.
•The antenna must be mounted so that the connecting cable
to the WiFi Recorder is 3 m (10 ft) or less. Do not extend
the cable.
•The connecting cable to the WiFi Recorder must be kept
away from water ingress.
•Minimum distances to any other radio or telemetry antenna
must be greater than 0.5 m (18”).
