Initial setup Adjusting the angle of the brake pedal The angle of the brake is adjusted as follows: 1. Remove all preload on the rubber stack. First you In this section we will get your Sim Pedals need to turn the lock nut towards the pedal arm, using Sprint up and running.

Adjusting the angle of the throttle and clutch pedal 1. Put the pedal in front of you, with the pedal face plate facing up and away from you. 2. Remove the nut and washer from the bolt which runs through the rear feet. 3.

For reference, please see the schematic (all dimensions are in millimeters). Because the Sim Pedals Sprint can handle relatively high operating forces (up to 65kg at the brake pedal), you must install the pedals on a very rigid base. Possible mounting solutions are aluminium profile beams, a thick metal (drilled) plate or our (optional) Sim Pedals Sprint Baseplate.

If you ever need to remove the RJ9 plugs from the brake, use a small flathead screwdriver to press the tabs on the RJ9 plugs. Next, connect the provided USB-cable. One side of the cable can be plugged into the brake pedal. The other side should be connected directly to your pc.

Because the Sim Pedals Sprint use soft endstops there Your brake is equipped with a 2-stage system. Initially a may be small signal variations between instances of the metal coil spring is compressed. This coil spring simulates pedal being at rest or being fully pressed. We therefore the pad-to-disc gap.

Throttle, brake and clutch mapping A key feature of SmartControl is the ability to set custom signal output maps per pedal. Traditionally race simulator pedal output has had a one-on-one sensitivity in relation to the pedal input. SmartControl allows you to map non- linear output curves using 5 zones (six input parameters).

Use case 2: Throttle curve in an underpowered car As opposed to use case 1, sometimes you want your throttle response to be as aggresive as possible. This can be the case when you race an underpowered car with limited chance of wheelspin. SmartControl allows you to set a curve in which the sensitivity is higher in the initial phases of throttle application.

Using SmartControl with iRacing Save a profile The Sim Pedals Sprint output values per pedal axis SmartControl allows you to store an unlimited amount of always range from 0-4095, regardless of your settings profiles. In order to save a profile, do the following: in SmartControl.

Next to SmartControl adjustments, there All pedals - pedal plate heigth adjustment are also plenty of mechanical adjustments The pedal plate of each pedal can be rotated in order to that change the feel of your Sim Pedals...

Step 2: Use the wrench to lock the rear nut, insert the hex key. Step 3: Loosen the nut and bolt so the pedal plate can rotate. Step 4: Rotate the pedal plate 180 degrees. Pedal plate heigth adjustment overview.

Throttle - pedal travel There are 5 available settings which determine the amount of travel of the throttle pedal. By default the pedal is set in the center position (3 out of 5). This means you can make the travel 1 or 2 positions shorter or longer. In order to change the pedal travel, adjust the throttle as follows: 1.

Throttle - pedal force curve In the arm of the throttle pedal you’ll find an adjustment to (mainly) change the slope of the pedal force curve. In the highest position, you’ll need more force to reach the end of pedal travel compared to the lowest setting. It also slightly raises the overall amount of force required.
Page 18
Throttle - pedal spring preload Next to the spring you will find an adjustment to change the spring preload. By making the spring length in the rest position shorter or longer, you change the initial amount of force required to move the pedal. The slope of the force curve will remain identical.
Page 19
After making the pedal spring preload adjustment, make sure to check if it meets the minimum spring length requirement: 1. Push the pedal al the way down to the endstop, so the spring is complressed. 2. Take measurement of the compressed spring length. It should be at least 40mm (1,6 inch).

Brake - pedal stiffness 3. Remove or add rubbers, discs and spacers as desired. The Sim Pedals Sprint allow for a large range of settings to Look carefully at the rubber stack schematics to correctly set the stiffness of your brake. This is done by varying the assemble a rubber stack.

You will therefore not be able to simulate 1:1 assembly. You have the option to shorten this gap by brake forces for all race cars with the Sim Pedals Sprint. changing the preload on the coil spring: In terms of brake stiffness, a general rule of thumb is that 1.

Clutch - pedal force curve In the arm of the clutch pedal you will find an adjustment to change the slope of the pedal force curve. In the highest position, you’ll need more force to reach the end of pedal travel compared to the lowest setting.

Clutch - pedal spring preload Next to the spring you will find an adjustment to change the spring preload. By making the spring length in the rest position shorter or longer, you change the initial amount of force required to move the pedal. The slope of the force curve will remain identical.

After making the pedal spring preload adjustment, make sure to check if it meets the minimum spring length requirement: 1. Leave the pedal in the rest position. 2. Take measurement of the uncompressed spring length. It should at least be: - 60mm (2,36 inch) when in the lowest/softest pedal force curve setting (4mm preload).

Preventive lubrication - throttle & clutch rubber. Never use petroleum based lubricants to Most pivot points on the Sim Pedals Sprint have self lubricate your brake pedal. This will render the rubbers lubricating bearings. On the throttle and the clutch there useless.
