Additional Information & Settings - PERFECTPASS StarGazer Manual

Important Note: If the timer is triggered prior to entering the course, it must be reset by pressing
the UP key. Failure to reset will result in an improper pull to the ramp.
ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Additional Jump Settings are accessed by pressing the UP key on the Main Slalom Screen with the
highlighted. Then press the DOWN key when JUMP is highlighted on the Mode Select Screen. The
first three options can be accessed from the Main Slalom Screen as described above as well as in the
Jump Settings Screen.
Crew Weight – This setting can also be accessed on the main Slalom Screen as mentioned above or
through the Jump Settings screen. This value should be set to represent the total Crew Weight in
pounds in the boat. It is essential this value be properly setup to ensure you get good times.
Crew Weight Calculator - The system will add the weight of up to 3 individual crewmembers. Simply
go to "Crew Adj" on the list, then press the DOWN and UP keys together, enter the weight of crew
member #1, press MENU and do the same for crew member #2. The system will total the weight
automatically.
Calibrate – Press the UP key to enter the Baseline Calibration screen. This can also be accessed by
pressing the DOWN key with the highlighted on the Main Jump Screen.
New Jumper – Details for entering a new jumper are outlined above. This should be used when
unsure what Jump Letter to select.
CT (Counter Cut Time) - The maximum length of time the system will throttle once the skier pulls and
closes the switch on the counter cut. Example: a value of 175 is 1.75 seconds and may be used in a
tail wind. In a head wind you may want a longer pull so you could move it to 200 – 220 (2.0 – 2.2
seconds). The factory default is 190, or 1.9 seconds.
x8u and x8d - These settings were always riding in the software, but were not adjustable values.
With the higher horsepower engines and strong props being produced, these values are available for
adjustment if needed for high-end jumpers.
x8u – Represents the rate of throttle up on counter cut and cut for ramp once switch is activated.
The larger the value, the softer the start will be. In other words, the pull will not be as aggressive on
the start, but more gradual. The smaller the value, the more aggressive it will throttle up as switch
closes.
Example: A strong 6 Litre engine may need a larger X8u to avoid a strong initial pull as switch closes.
x8d – Represents the rate of throttle down once skier stops pulling. The higher the value, the slower
(softer) the throttle will return. The lower the value, the more aggressive it will throttle back.
