The Terminal Strip
+12VDC Terminal:
Connect the +12VDC terminal to a sw12 Volt source with enough amperage capable of driving all
outputs at the same time.
(Recommended 10 Ga. Wire)
Transbrake Terminal:
Connect the Transbrake terminal to the Transbrake solenoid. If using a MSD 2-Step connect the red
wire from the 2-Step here.
(Recommended 10 Ga. Wire)
S.F.O. Terminal:
Connect the S.F.O. (Selectable Function Output) to a device that is to function in one of the
following four ways.
1)
A device to be used as the Starting Line Enhancer, usually a linkage style throttle stop.
2)
A device to be controlled by the second 4 Stage Timer. (Timer 2)
3)
Connect to the Line Locks, if the Line Locks are to be engaged when the Transbrake is
engaged and/or the Line Lock push-button is pressed.
4)
Connect to the Transbrake solenoid, this is to be used only as a temporary back-up output.
Make sure that the S.F.O. mode setting is correct for the device being used.
Incorrect settings will cause undesirable results.
(Recommended 10 Ga. wire)
Throttle Stop Terminal:
Connect the Throttle Stop terminal to a throttle stop or some other device to be controlled by a 4
Stage Timer down track. This is the main 4 Stage Timer (Timer 1).
(Recommended 10 Ga. wire)
Shift Terminal:
Connect the Shift terminal to the shifter solenoid. It is recommended that the wire going from the Elite 500
shift terminal to the shift solenoid be separated from all other wires to eliminate cross talk between the wires. If all
wires are bundled together undesirable results may occur.
(Recommended 10 Ga. Wire)
Ground Terminal:
Connect the Ground terminal to the Neg. terminal on the battery or to a good steel ground, not aluminum.
(Recommended 14 Ga. Wire)
Button-1 Terminal:
Connect the P.B. 1 terminal to either wire of the primary (Transbrake) push-button. The other wire from
the primary button is then connected to ground. See page 9 for information on setting button modes and double hitting the tree.
(Recommended 16 Ga. Wire or 18 Ga. Corded buttons)
Button-2 Terminal:
Connect the P.B. 2 terminal to either wire of an optional push-button. The other wire from the push-
button is then connected to ground. This button can be used for 2 different operations.
1)
When unit is set in P.B. mode 2 this button is used for the second of two hits at the tree.
2)
When unit is set in P.B. mode 1 or 3 this button can be used as a by-pass button.
(Recommended 16 Ga. Wire or 18 Ga. Corded buttons)
Tap Up Terminal:
Connect the Tap Up terminal to either wire of an optional push-button. The other wire from the push-button
is then connected to ground. This button can be used for 2 different operations.
1)
If the Starting Line Enhancer feature is turned on and the Tap Up push-button is pressed the throttle will close
allowing the car to be staged at a preset RPM before the Transbrake is applied.
2)
After a Transbrake push-button has been released, every time the Tap Up push-button is depressed a programmable
amount of time is added to the first delay time started until the Transbrake is released.
(Recommended 16 Ga. Wire or 18 Ga. Corded buttons)
Tap Down Terminal:
Connect the Tap Down terminal to either wire of an optional push-button. The other wire from the
push-button is then connected to ground. This button can control three different operations.
1)
If the Starting Line Enhancer feature is turned on and the Tap Down push-button is pressed the throttle will close
allowing the car to be staged at a preset RPM before the Transbrake is applied.
2)
After a Transbrake push-button has been released, every time the Tap Down push-button is depressed a programmable
amount of time is subtracted from, the first delay time started until the Transbrake is released.
3)
A third of a second after the Transbrake releases and for every time the Tap Down push-button is depressed a
programmable amount of time is subtracted from the second or fourth stage times. See
Understanding the P.T.S.O.
(Recommended 16 Ga. Wire or 18 Ga. Corded buttons)
Line Lock P.B. Terminal:
Connect
the Line Lock terminal to either wire of an optional push-button. The other wire from
the push-button is then connected to +12V. This button can control two different operations.
1)
If the Line Lock push-button is pressed and the S.F.O. mode is set to 3 (Line Lock Control) before the Transbrake is
engaged, the Line Locks hooked to the S.F.O. Terminal will be engaged.
2)
After a Transbrake push-button has been released and before the Transbrake solenoid releases, every time the L.L.
push-button is depressed the programmable Multi-tap is activated. See Multi-Tap on page
20.
(Recommended 16 Ga. Wire or 18 Ga. Corded buttons)
