j) "ABS" function: ABS brakes
With the ABS function, you can optimise the braking behaviour of your model car. The brake function is clocked
electronically to prevent blocking the wheels when braking in a curve.
In a "real" car, special wheel sensors and electronics detect blocked wheels. Reduce the brake pressure on individual
wheels so that a blocked wheel can rotate again. This is noticeable because of a pulsating brake pedal. For example,
understeering and oversteering can thus be prevented in case of emergency braking in a curve, and the vehicle can
be safely controlled through the curve despite emergency braking (within the limits of physics).
Of course, a model car does not (yet) have this control, so different values can be set to come as close as possible to
ABS braking behaviour in a "real" car.
Proceed as follows:
• If you press the knob (14) briefly, the
MODEL
function will be greyed out.
•
Turn the knob (14) to the left or right until the
ABS
function is greyed out, as
shown in the right figure.
• If you press the knob (14) briefly, "ABS" will flash at the bottom of the display.
•
You can choose between the following setup functions by turning the knob
(14) to the left or right:
Function Value range
Default setting
Description
ABS
ON/OFF
OFF
Turn ABS on or off
BRK
0.....100%
50%
Brake power for each braking pulse
DLY
0.....100%
0%
Time until ABS is enabled after braking action
CYC
20.....100%
50%
Number of ABS cycles; if the value is the higher, fewer ABS
cycles take place, and control will be more rough.
TGP
10.....100%
30%
Specifies the throttle/brake lever position from which the
ABS is enabled
DTY
-4...+4
0
Changes the ratio between the time at which the brake is
enabled or disabled; the lower the value, the lower the ac-
tual braking time per ABS cycle
STM
E 10.....100%
N 10.....100%
OFF
Establishes a connection between the steering angle
(channel 1) and the ABS:
"OFF": The ABS works independently of the steering angle.
"E": The ABS is only active when the steering angle ex-
ceeds the set value.
"N": The ABS is disabled when the steering angle exceeds
the set value.
% value: Sets the value for the steering angle.
