Installing the Transceiver Mounting the Transceiver • • • • • • I nstall the transceiver so it is protected from vibration or shock. Use double-sided tape or Velcro® to mount the transceiver. Position the transceiver where it will not contact other solid components. Mount the transceiver away from moving parts, sharp corners, and possible contaminants (fuel, dirt, etc.). When possible, waterproof and protect the transceiver by wrapping it in foam rubber and placing it in a rubber balloon or plastic bag.
Installing the Sensors Your Sensor radio system comes with several sensors that you can install in your vehicle and connect to the transceiver. When properly installed and connected, these sensors will send information back to the Sensor so that you can monitor the readings while you drive. Receiver Battery Sensor The transceiver monitors the receiver battery voltage from the POWER receptacle. There is no installation necessary for this sensor.
Connection Connected Pins Connecting the Temperature Sensor Unused Pin After you install the temperature sensor in the vehicle, plug it into the “Sensor 1” or “Sensor 2” receptacle. The four-pin connector on the sensor cable has only three wires populated. The unpopulated pin should be the one furthest from the connector key in the receiver plastic. The Sensor transceiver will automatically detect which sensors are installed.
Binding the Transceiver The binding process “locks” the Sensor and a transceiver together so that they listen only to each other. Since the Sensor has eight model memories, it is possible that your Sensor will be used to communicate with eight transceivers. You must therefore perform the binding process once for each transceiver that will communicate with your Sensor.
Now, every time you turn on the Sensor and set it to the appropriate model I D (see “Managing Models” later in this manual), the Sensor goes to a special “lookup channel” and searches for messages from the appropriate VI N. When you turn on the vehicle’s transceiver, the transceiver goes to the lookup channel and broadcasts its VI N so it can be found by the appropriate Sensor. When the Sensor finds the appropriate VI N, the connection is made.
Binding your transceiver the first time 1. I nstall a transceiver into your vehicle. (For this example, install a transceiver into your electric touring car, which will be known to the Sensor as “Model 1.”) 2. I n the Sensor’s “Manage Models” function menu, go to “Active Model” and select the appropriate model I D for the vehicle you are going to bind to. (For this example, select “Model 1.”) 3. After putting your model on a stand to prevent runaways, power up the vehicle and transceiver. 4.
Sensor Controls The functions of the Sensor are controlled through the function menu and/ or trim controls. To perform this action… Toggles between the driving screen and the function menu or returns to the previous level from a submenu Menu: Go to the selected sub-menu Press… menu OK Menu: Move to the next higher menu item. Menu: Move to the next lower menu item. Menu: Go to the selected sub-menu. Drive: Display next statistic. Menu: Decrease the selected value setting.
Top Menu Level The following illustration shows the function menu structure for the top level menu. All main sub-menus may be accessed from the top menu level.
Steering Trim Steering trim adjusts the center point of the steering servo by adjusting the center point within the steering servo’s total travel range. Unlike steering subtrim, the steering left and right end points are unaffected by steering trim; by moving the center point of the steering servo using trim, the center position moves closer to one end point or the other. Steering trim should be used only after you have initially adjusted steering sub-trim.
Adjusting Steering Trim using the Function Menu Use the navigation controls to adjust steering trim as follows: 1. Access the top function menu from the driving screen. menu 2. Navigate to the Steering ( Ch1) menu. or 3. Navigate to Trim . or : then Value 0 4. Change the value. or -ve value (-100 Æ 1) + ve value (1 Æ 100) Description Steering trim is centered within the servo range. Steering trim is to the LEFT. Steering trim is to the RI GHT.
Steering Dual Rate Steering dual rate adjusts the range of servo movement when the steering wheel is fully turned in either the left or right direction. This is used to increase or decrease the steering sensitivity across the entire servo range. The steering dual rate value is applied to both left and right sides, and is expressed as a percentage of servo range (configured by end point adjustments). On the driving screen, steering dual rate range is represented by the solid length of the upper bar.
Adjusting Steering Dual Rate using the Trim Button You can also use the T2 trim button to adjust the steering dual rate. Dual Rate and End Point Adjustment Full servo range is determined by the left and right end point adjustments. The dual rate value determines the relative servo range between the left and right end points. The servo will never move beyond the set end point adjustments, no matter what dual rate setting is applied.
Adjusting Steering Exponential Use the navigation controls to adjust steering exponential as follows: 1. Access the top function menu from the driving screen. menu 2. Navigate to the Steering ( Ch1) menu. or 3. Navigate to Expo. or : then Value 4. Change the value. or 0 -ve value (-1 to 100) + ve value (1 to 100) Description Neutral steering response (linear). Milder steering response near center. Quicker steering response near center.
Adjusting Steering Sub-trim Use the navigation controls to adjust steering sub-trim as follows: 1. Access the top function menu from the driving screen. menu 2. Navigate to the Steering ( Ch1) menu. or 3. Navigate to Sub Trim . or : then Value 0 4. Change the value. or -ve value (-100 Æ 1) + ve value (1 Æ 100) Description Steering sub-trim is centered within the servo range. Steering sub-trim is to the LEFT. Steering sub-trim is to the RI GHT.
Adjusting Steering Trim I ncrement Use the navigation controls to adjust steering trim increment as follows: 1. Access the top function menu from the driving screen. menu 2. Navigate to the Steering ( Ch1) menu. or 3. Navigate to Trim I ncrement . or : then Value or 4. Change the value. 1-20 Description Steering trim value changes by set increment. Use smaller values for finer trim control. Use larger values for coarser trim control.
Steering Left End Point The steering left end point value adjusts how far the steering servo turns to the LEFT with respect to its full range of motion to the left. End point adjustment should be adjusted prior to other steering settings, as the left end point value affects other steering settings. The left end point is set independently of the right end point (which adjusts how far the steering servo turns to the RI GHT).
Changing the left end point value has the following visual effect on the driving screen bars. Left end point value is approximately the same as the right end point value. I ncreased left end point value (more servo travel to the left is possible). Decreased left end point value (less servo travel to the left is possible).
Steering Right End Point The steering right end point value adjusts how far the steering servo turns to the RI GHT with respect to its full range of motion to the right. End point adjustment should be adjusted prior to other steering settings, as the right end point value affects other steering settings. The right end point is set independently of the left end point (which adjusts how far the steering servo turns to the LEFT).
The position of the pointer on the bar is affected by the steering end point values (left and right) and trim setting; increasing the right end point value may visually appear to have the same effect as decreasing the left end point value. Adjusting the Right End Point The right end point value is a relative value, and is expressed as the percentage of full travel to the right. For example, setting the right end point value to “50” allows the steering servo to turn only 50% of full travel to the right.
Steering Servo Reverse Steering servo reversing reverses the direction the servo moves upon receiving an input from the steering wheel. Changing the Steering Servo Reverse Setting Use the navigation controls to change the steering servo reverse setting as follows: 1. Access the top function menu from the driving screen. menu 2. Navigate to the Steering ( Ch1) menu. or 3. Navigate to Servo Reverse . or : then Value 4. Change the value. or Description Off Standard servo direction.
Steering Speed Steering speed allows you to limit the maximum speed that the steering servo will be driven to match your movements on the wheel. There are three parameters that can be adjusted to precisely set up your limiting. Trigger sets the minimum amount of control input before the speed limiter becomes active. At 0% , limiting is always active (input is always > = 0% ). At 50% , limiting is only active if the wheel is turned half way or more.
Throttle Functions The following illustration shows the function menu structure for the throttle functions: Throttle (Ch 2) Trim Dual Rate 0 - 100 Throttle Expo -100 to 100 Brake Expo -100 to 100 Sub Trim -100 to 100 Trim Increment 1 - 20 DR Increment 1 - 20 Brake End Point 0 to 100 Throttle End Point 0 to 100 Servo Reverse Servo Type Servo Speed Throttle Trim Throttle trim adjusts the resting (centered) position of the throttle servo horn (electric or nitro vehicle) or the neutral point o
Throttle Trim Steering (Ch1) Throttle (Ch2) Shift (Ch3) On the driving screen, throttle trim is represented by the position of the pointer on the middle bar. Changing the throttle trim has the following visual effect on the driving screen bars: Throttle trim is centered in range (value = 0) Throttle trim is offset to throttle end (+ ve value) Throttle trim is offset to brake end (-ve value) Adjusting Throttle Trim using the Function Menu Use the navigation controls to adjust throttle trim as follows: 1.
Throttle Dual Rate Throttle dual rate adjusts the range of servo movement when the throttle trigger is moved from full brake to full throttle position. This is used to increase or decrease the throttle sensitivity across the entire servo range. The throttle dual rate value is applied to both throttle and brake end, and is expressed as a percentage of servo range (configured by end point adjustments). On the driving screen, throttle dual rate range is represented by the solid length of the middle bar.
Adjusting Throttle Dual Rate using the Function Menu Use the navigation controls to adjust throttle dual rate as follows: 1. Access the top function menu from the driving screen. menu 2. Navigate to the Throttle ( Ch2) menu. or 3. Navigate to Dual Rate . or : then Value 0 4. Change the value. or 1-99 100 Description Throttle/ brake range is set to minimum (0% ). Throttle/ brake range is set to a percentage of full range. For example, value “50” gives 50% of full servo range.
Throttle Exponential Throttle exponential adjusts how quickly or slowly the throttle servo responds with respect to the amount that the throttle trigger is moved to the THROTTLE end. This affects the sensitivity of the throttle servo near its neutral position. Adjusting the throttle exponential does not affect the brake exponential; these settings are set individually.
Brake Exponential Brake exponential adjusts how quickly or slowly the throttle servo responds with respect to the amount that the throttle trigger is moved to the BRAKE end. This affects the sensitivity of the throttle servo near its neutral position. Adjusting the brake exponential does not affect the throttle exponential; these settings are set individually.
Throttle Sub-Trim Throttle sub-trim adjusts the center point of the throttle servo. This differs from throttle trim in that throttle sub-trim adjusts the servo’s entire travel range; by moving the center point of the servo, the throttle and brake end points (throttle, brake) stay the same relative “distance” from the servo center. Throttle sub-trim should be initially adjusted before using throttle trim, which is used to make fine adjustments to center the throttle within the total steering range.
Throttle Trim I ncrement Throttle trim increment adjusts the sensitivity of the throttle trim button, by adjusting the amount that the throttle trim value changes for one “step” of adjustment. For example, setting the throttle trim increment value to “5” changes the throttle trim value by 5 each time that the throttle trim button is pressed once. Adjusting Throttle Trim I ncrement Use the navigation controls to adjust throttle trim increment as follows: 1.
Adjusting Throttle Dual Rate I ncrement Use the navigation controls to adjust throttle dual rate increment as follows: 1. Access the top function menu from the driving screen. menu 2. Navigate to the Throttle ( Ch2) menu or 3. Navigate to DR I ncrement . or : then Value 4. Change the value. or 1-20 Description Throttle dual rate value changes by set increment. Use smaller values for finer dual rate control. Use larger values for coarser dual rate control.
On the driving screen, the brake end point is represented by the length of the bar to the left of the pointer on the middle bar. Brake End Point Steering (Ch1) Throttle (Ch2) Shift (Ch3) The greater the left length of the bar, the greater the brake end point value. The position of the pointer on the bar is affected by end point settings ( throttle and brake) and trim setting. Changing the brake end point value has the following visual effect on the driving screen bars.
Adjusting the Brake End Point The brake end point value is a relative value, and is expressed as the percentage of full travel to the BRAKE end. For example, setting the brake end point value to “50” allows the throttle to go to only 50% of full brake. Use the navigation controls to adjust the brake end point as follows: 1. Access the top function menu from the driving screen. menu 2. Navigate to the Throttle ( Ch2) menu. or 3. Navigate to Brake End Point . or : then Value 0 4. Change the value.
Throttle End Point The throttle end point value adjusts how far the throttle goes to the THROTTLE end with respect to its full range of motion to the throttle end. End point adjustment should be adjusted prior to other throttle settings, as the throttle end point value affects other throttle settings. The throttle end point is set independently of the brake end point (which adjusts how far the throttle servo turns to the BRAKE end).
The position of the pointer on the bar is affected by end point values (throttle and brake) and trim setting; increasing the throttle end point value may visually appear to have the same effect as decreasing the brake end point value.

Changing the low end point value has the following visual effect on the driving screen bars.
Trim and EPA I nteraction A trim (or sub-trim) setting of 100 is equivalent to an End Point setting of 20. High End Point The shift servo high end point value adjusts the shift servo’s ending position after shifting upwards. This is intended to be high gear and goes with the upshift sound event. The end point adjustments should be adjusted prior to other settings. The high end point is set independently of the low end point (which adjusts how far the shift servo moves to the LOW turns end).
The position of the pointer on the bar is affected by end point settings ( low and high) and trim setting; increasing the high end point value may visually appear to have the same effect as decreasing the low end point value.
