Understanding the
Dial-ins and Delays
The Dial-in and Delay Screen displays both of the
Dial-in times and both of the Delay times. These four time
settings are used to control how long the Transbrake solenoid
stays engaged after the push-button is released. The main
feature here is the ability to Crossover, to go off the
opponent’s top yellow light if you are the faster vehicle. The
Mega 475 always does a subtraction of Your Dial-in time
from Their Dial-in time. If the result is greater than zero it’s
added to Delay 1. This new combined time of Delay 1 plus
the difference of the Dial-ins is called the Crossover time.
Example, when the vehicle is staged, the push-button
connected to the P.B. 1 terminal is pressed. When the push-
button is pressed the Transbrake will engage. When the
opponent’s top yellow light comes on, the button is released
and then the Crossover time starts counting down. When the
Crossover time reaches zero the Transbrake is released.
Thus, releasing the vehicle from the starting line and starting
the pass.
When it is desirable not to Crossover, set the Dial-ins
to the same number. When the Mega 475 does the
subtraction of Your Dial-in time from Their Dial-in time the
difference will be zero. This result is then added to Delay 1
but because the added value was zero only the Delay 1 time
will be used as the delay amount for the Transbrake.
The Mega 475 also allows a second hit at the tree.
This is where the Delay 2 time is used. Depending on the
Push-button Mode, the second hit at the tree can be done
with the same button connected to P.B. 1 or a second push-
button connected to P.B. 2, this is explained in
Understanding the Push-button Modes . The Delay 2 time is
usually set so that the second hit at the tree is on your top or
bottom yellow. The Delay 2 time can be used even if the
