NOTE REGARDING COOLING FAN OPERATION AND MOTOR COOLING
The wheel's cooling system is composed of a heat sink and a fan.
•
A thermostat monitors the wheel's internal temperature.
•
The power of the Force Feedback effects automatically decreases as soon as the wheel reaches
•
a much higher temperature level (to protect the motor). The power of these effects
automatically increases as soon as the temperature slightly decreases.
"Automatic" cooling mode:
When you are using the wheel in a game, the cooling fan starts up when the wheel has reached
•
a certain temperature.
(= after a few minutes of gameplay, depending on the strength of the Force Feedback effects used)
When you're done playing: due to the motor's thermal inertia, the cooling fan continues to
•
operate until the temperature drops below the fan's startup level. Your wheel has been
designed in this way in order to facilitate cooling, and to protect the motor.
(= this may take from 5 to 45 minutes, depending on the temperature reached while using the wheel in a
game)
"Forced" cooling mode:
In this mode, the cooling fan operates whenever the racing wheel is powered up, and stops only
•
when the wheel's USB connector is no longer powered.
This mode enables quicker cooling of the motor, and is particularly useful:
-
When playing with a very high Force Feedback setting
When playing in a high-temperature environment
-
Process to switch from the "Automatic" cooling mode to the "Forced" cooling mode
(and conversely):
The selected mode is automatically saved to the racing wheel's internal memory (i.e. you do not
•
need to repeat this process after restarting the wheel).
You can switch from one mode to another at any given time (even during a game).
•
Simultaneously press the "ST*" and "MODE" buttons
-
= The "Forced" mode becomes active (the LED flashes twice).
-
Simultaneously press the "ST*" and "MODE" buttons
= The "Automatic" mode becomes active (the LED flashes once).
* On PC, the "ST" button matches the wheel's "8" button.
* On PS3™, the "ST" button matches the wheel's "START" button.
* On PS4™, the "ST" button matches the wheel's "OPTION" button.
* Button mapping information (according to the racing wheel model) is available here:
