Understanding the Starting Line Enhancer
This is to help the racer understand how the Starting Line Enhancer works. When turned on, the Starting Line
Enhancer will close the throttle under two different conditions, first if the Tap push-button is pressed before a Transbrake
button and second when the Transbrake Push Button is pressed. After the throttle has been closed the Starting Line Enhancer
will open the throttle at the programmed amount of time before the Transbrake is released.
The S.L.E. time is shown as four digits on line 1 of screen 3. The four digits show the amount of time that the throttle
will open up before the
TRANSBRAKE RELEASES.
All number from 00.00 to 99.99 can be used as a S.L.E. time, with the
exceptions of 11.11 and 22.22, which are described below. If the Starting Line Enhancer time is greater than the delay time,
the throttle will open as soon as a
Transbrake push-button is released
. If this is desired simply enter all nines (99.99). If all
zeros (00.00) are entered the throttle will open up when the Transbrake releases.
Using all ones (11.11) will pre-set the release of the throttle at eight tenths of a second before the Transbrake releases.
This means that approximately two tenths of a second after your top yellow the throttle will open up. The benefit of the
throttle opening up at this time is that it will not be a distraction when using your top yellow for a second hit at the tree.
Using all twos (22.22) will set the S.L.E. to Pro mode. When the S.L.E. is set to Pro mode the release of the throttle
will occur when the transbrake is engaged. This means that the throttle must be closed using the Tap P.B. before staging.
NOTE:
Use the Throttle mode for Timer 2, which can only be set while viewing the 4 stage times for Timer 2 on screen 5, to
change
output voltage of the S.F.O. for the type of Throttle Stop being used as a Starting Line Enhancer.
