Charging and Installing Batteries The Sensor is pow ered by four AA-size batt eries (1.2~ 1.5V). You may use t he four AA-size 1.2V NiMH batt eries provided w it h t he Sensor, or you may use AA-size alkaline batt eries ( 1.5V) . Before using your Sensor, make sure the batt eries are fully charged. The Sensor is reverse volt age protected: inst alling batteries backw ards cannot damage it. If t he batteries are backw ards, simply reverse the batt ery connector.
Adjusting the Screen The display screen at t he t op of t he Sensor can be reposit ioned for easier view ing. Tools needed: 7/64” hex w rench 1. Make sure Sensor is turned off before moving t he screen. 2. Using t he hex w rench, loosen t he two screw s holding t he display screen. 3. Reposit ion the display screen. 4.

Installing the Transceiver Mounting the Transceiver • • • • • • I nstall the transceiv er so it is protected from v ibration or shock . Use double-sided tape or Velcro® to mount the transceiv er. Position the transceiv er where it w ill not contact other solid components. Mount the transceiv er aw ay from mov ing parts, sharp corners, and possible contaminants (fuel, dirt, etc.).
Installing the Sensors Your Sensor radio system comes w it h several sensors t hat you can inst all in your vehicle and connect t o t he t ransceiver. W hen properly inst alled and connected, t hese sensors w ill send informat ion back t o the Sensor so that you can monitor t he readings while you drive. Receiver Battery Sensor The t ransceiver monit ors t he receiver battery volt age from t he POWER recept acle. There is no inst allat ion necessary for t his sensor.
Connect ion Connected Pins Connect ing the Temperat ure Sensor Unused Pin After you inst all t he t emperat ure sensor in t he vehicle, plug it into t he “Sensor 1” or “ Sensor 2” recept acle. The four-pin connector on t he sensor cable has only three w ires populated. The unpopulated pin should be the one furt hest from the connector key in t he receiver plast ic. The Sensor t ransceiver w ill aut omat ically detect which sensors are inst alled.
Binding the Transceiver The binding process “ locks” the Sensor and a t ransceiver t ogether so t hat t hey list en only t o each ot her. Since the Sensor has eight model memories, it is possible t hat your Sensor w ill be used to communicat e w it h eight t ransceivers. You must t herefore perform t he binding process once for each t ransceiver t hat w ill communicate w ith your Sensor.
Now , every t ime you t urn on the Sensor and set it t o the appropriate model ID ( see “ Managing Models” lat er in t his manual) , t he Sensor goes t o a special “ lookup channel” and searches for messages from t he appropriate VIN. W hen you t urn on the vehicle’s t ransceiver, the t ransceiver goes to t he lookup channel and broadcast s it s VIN so it can be found by the appropriat e Sensor. W hen t he Sensor finds the appropriat e VIN, t he connect ion is made.
Binding your transceiver the first time 1. Inst all a t ransceiver int o your vehicle. ( For t his example, inst all a t ransceiver int o your elect ric t ouring car, which w ill be know n t o t he Sensor as “ Model 1.”) 2. In t he Sensor’s “ Manage Models” funct ion menu, go t o “Act ive Model” and select t he appropriat e model ID for t he vehicle you are going to bind t o. ( For t his example, select “ Model 1.” ) 3.
Sensor Controls The funct ions of the Sensor are cont rolled through t he funct ion menu and/or t rim cont rols. To perform t his act ion… Toggles betw een the driv ing screen and the function menu or returns to the prev ious lev el from a submenu Menu: Go to the selected sub-menu Press… menu OK Menu: Mov e to the next higher menu item.

St eering Trim Steering t rim adjust s t he center point of t he steering servo by adjust ing the center point w it hin t he st eering servo’s t ot al t ravel range. Unlike steering subt rim, the steering left and right end point s are unaffect ed by steering t rim; by moving the center point of t he st eering servo using t rim, the center posit ion moves closer to one end point or t he ot her. Steering t rim should be used only after you have init ially adjust ed steering sub-t rim.
Adjust ing St eering Trim using t he Funct ion Menu Use t he navigat ion cont rols to adjust steering t rim as follow s: 1. Access the top function menu from the driv ing screen. menu 2. Nav igate to the Steer ing ( Ch1 ) menu. or 3. Nav igate to Tr im. or : then Value 0 4. Change the v alue. or -v e v alue (-100 Æ 1) + v e v alue (1 Æ 100) Descr iption Steering trim is centered w ithin the serv o range. Steering trim is to the LEFT. Steering trim is to the RI GHT.
St eering Dual Rat e Steering dual rat e adjust s the range of servo movement w hen t he st eering w heel is fully t urned in eit her t he left or right direct ion. This is used to increase or decrease the steering sensit ivit y across t he ent ire servo range. The steering dual rate value is applied to bot h left and right sides, and is expressed as a percent age of servo range (configured by end point adjust ment s) .
Adjust ing St eering Dual Rat e using the Trim Button You can also use t he T2 t rim butt on t o adjust the steering dual rat e. Dual Rat e and End Point Adjust ment Full servo range is det ermined by t he left and right end point adjust ment s. The dual rat e value determines the relat ive servo range between t he left and right end point s. The servo w ill never move beyond t he set end point adjust ment s, no matter w hat dual rat e sett ing is applied.

Use sm aller v alues for finer trim control. Use larger v alues for coarser trim control.
St eering Left End Point The steering left end point value adjust s how far t he st eering servo t urns t o t he LEFT w it h respect t o it s full range of mot ion t o the left . End point adjust ment should be adjust ed prior t o ot her steering sett ings, as t he left end point value affect s ot her steering sett ings. The left end point is set independent ly of t he right end point (w hich adjust s how far t he st eering servo t urns t o t he RIGHT) .
Changing t he left end point value has t he follow ing visual effect on t he driving screen bars. Left end point v alue is approximately the same as the right end point v alue. I ncreased left end point v alue (more servo trav el to the left is possible). Decreased left end point v alue (less serv o trav el to the left is possible).
St eering Right End Point The steering right end point value adjust s how far t he st eering servo t urns t o the RIGHT w it h respect t o it s full range of mot ion t o the right. End point adjust ment should be adjusted prior t o ot her st eering sett ings, as t he right end point value affect s ot her st eering sett ings. The right end point is set independent ly of t he left end point (w hich adjust s how far t he steering servo t urns t o t he LEFT).
The posit ion of t he pointer on the bar is affected by t he steering end point values ( left and right) and t rim sett ing; increasing t he right end point value may visually appear t o have t he same effect as decreasing t he left end point value. Adjust ing t he Right End Point The right end point value is a relat ive value, and is expressed as the percent age of full t ravel t o t he right .
St eering Servo Reverse Steering servo reversing reverses t he direct ion t he servo moves upon receiving an input from the steering w heel.
