Congratulations on your purchase of the most advanced combination delay box/timer unit available for
today's precision drag racing. The PRO-CUBE Ò has been designed to give you unprecedented control of
your reaction time and ET with a host of standard features, plus options for up to three general purpose
timers, all in one super-compact unit that can be mounted almost anywhere. The precision available with
these timers makes them perfect for controlling a variety of equipment including throttle stops, shifters, and
multi-stage nitrous systems. You should read and understand this entire manual, including the warranty
section beginning on page 8, before proceeding with installation.
STANDARD FEATURES
Cross-Over:
open tree. The delay time is automatically calculated from dial-in and delay values you enter.
Second Hit:
having two delay boxes in one. This feature allows you to take two shots at the tree in long cross-
over situations. You will launch on the faster of the two reactions.
Bump-Down Ò:
after releasing the transbrake switch. You can program the amount of time to subtract, you can
bump-down any number of times, and you can use it for either one or both hits on the tree. In
addition, this feature can be used on Timer 1 during the run. If you have a throttle stop connected to
Timer 1, the Bump-Down feature will allow you to correct for track conditions such as tire spin by
reducing the stop time.
Flinch Protection Ò:
release the transbrake switch before the tree starts.
Run Info:
automatically be displayed to indicate the difference in your reaction times for double-hits, as well as
the number of times you bumped-down your reactions and the number of times TIMER 1 was
bumped-down. This allows you to determine what your reaction(s) and E.T. would have been had
you not used these powerful features.
Transbrake Output:
release solenoids. Handles up to 25 amp load.
Line Lock Output:
includes a blocking diode to prevent back feed into the transbrake circuit. It can be used in front
wheel line lock applications or jumpered to the Pro-Stage ä or one of the timer outputs acting as a
"launch control" when connected to a compatible throttlestop. Handles up to 2 amp load.
Transbrake Lockout: A built-in timer prevents activation of the Transbrake and Line Lock outputs for a
programmed amount of time after the transbrake releases. This timer can be set from 0 to more than
an hour. Transbrake activation is automatically re-enabled when the timer completes.

    K+R Performance Engineering, Inc. Pro Cube Pro-Stage ä: This special output controls a Pro-Stage ä compatible throttle stop during the staging process. Developed by Frank Hawley, the patented Pro-Stage system allows you to ™ stage with your foot to the floor for both Pro tree and Full tree. Provides better driver concentration, more consistency, and reduced wear and tear on the engine and converter.
  • Page 3 K+R Performance Engineering, Inc. Pro Cube HOW TO SELECT AND CHANGE SETTINGS Two three-position switches are used to select the various screens. These switches may be left in any position while racing, they simply select what is being displayed. The table below shows the content of each screen and the factory default settings for a fully equipped unit.
  • Page 4: Initial Setup

    Single vs Dual Trigger Interface Mode: The PRO-CUBE Ò allows you to “hit” the tree twice and launch your vehicle on the quicker of two reactions. If you want to take advantage of this double-hit capability, you have the option of using two separate trigger (transbrake) switches or a single switch.

Pro Cube The wiring diagram shows a typical installation using the PRO-CUBE ä to control a dual cylinder throttle stop Pro-Stage II ™ system for starting line and ET control. Though it is possible to use a single cylinder throttle stop for both, the dual cylinder approach allows two different throttle settings, one for near idle on the starting line and the other for down track ET control (usually ¼...

    If the unit operates erratically when the engine is running, and normally when the engine is off, check for sources of electrical interference. The PRO-CUBE Ò is designed to tolerate extreme interference but the ignition coil, spark plug wires, and ignition unit are powerful sources of RF interference and a minimum distance of 12”...
