Page 20: Timer Stage1 Tab
Timer Stage1 Tab Stage1 Timer, Timing Retard Control ‐ this se ng configures the Stage1 Timer, +12V output to be On whenever Stage1 Nitrous is On (Solenoids func oning). Check to enable. If this se ng is Off then the Timer1 output can be configured by selec ng which control parameters are used to turn On the output. When more than one control parameter has been selected all must meet the condi ons as configured before the output will func on. -

Page 23: Configura On Tab
Configura on Tab Main Timer ‐ This se ng controls the Main Timer period. This controls the total me elapsed before a System Timeout occurs. This limits the total amount of me the solenoids can be On if the Ac va on signal is never removed. Once the Main Timer has med out the Ac va on signal must be removed before the controller may be ac vated again. -
