Page 4: Chapter 1 Product Overview
Chapter 1 Product Overview The NOS Launcher Progressive Nitrous Controller is a fully featured progressive nitrous controller offering control of up to 4 individual stages . These features make this the most advanced nitrous control system on the market. A master controller controls two stages and an additional add-on slave controller can control up to two more stages. -

Before mounting the master or slave controller, write down the Master ID/serial number for them. This number is located on the back of the unit. It is the upper right-hand number and is indicated by ID#. Find a suitable mounting place for the main controller. Mount it securely. -
Page 6: Slave Controller Installation
Connect the orange NOSbus wires to the master controller. See section 2.5. The units should now be recognized and ready for use. 2.3 Slave Controller Installation If the optional slave controller is being used (PN 15978NOS), install it now. The slave controller offers an additional 2 stages of nitrous capability. -
Page 7: Nosbus Wiring
NOTE: Make sure the brown wire loop is cut if using a Bosch sensor. If the wire loop is not appropriate for the sensor, damage can result. This kit comes with a 5 foot harness to power the controller. The wire colors are black and red. Connect the black wire to a clean, sound chassis ground. -
Page 8: Chapter 3 System Communications
4.2 Software Overview There are two kinds of files that this system uses. They are Nitrous Configuration Files which have a .nos filename extension and Nitrous Datalog files which have a .noslog or .log filename extension. The Nitrous Configuation File are the actual “tuneup” files that dictate the operation of the system. -
Page 9: General Settings
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order for proper communication, the file that is in the controller must have the proper “Master Serial Number” entered. See section “General Settings”. The master serial number is located on the back of the controller. You must first create a file that has the proper master number and Upload that file before you can actually have connection. -
Page 10: Inputs
Figure 10 AFR – If wide band O2 input is used, the unit can automatically disable nitrous operation if the A/F is too lean or too rich. The “cutoff delay” is the time that the unit will wait until it looks for this A/F ratio. In other words, if you enter .5 seconds, the unit will wait .5 seconds after activation before it will truly turn the system off due to the target lean condition. - Page 11 Final % - Allows for the end percentage to be typed in. Frequency – Frequency the solenoids will be pulsed at. 15-22 Hz is the typical range. NOS recommends 20 Hz for their solenoids. RPM Trigger – RPM at which the system will activate at. Same as the lower limit on a window switch.

Page 12: Master Stage 2
5.4 Master Stage 2 Operates the same as “Master Stage 1” above except this operates a second stage. Be aware that you can use input 1 to trigger both stages and delay Stage 2 using the “Delay” time. This eliminates the need for any separate delay timers. 5.5 Master GPO Figure 13 Master GPO GPO = General Purpose Outputs... -
Page 13: Data Logging
You can make sure that the various stages are arming and operating properly. Files will be stored to the following directory: C:\Program Files\NOS\Launcher. Files can be moved from that location afterwards if desired. To view the data graphically, have the log file open and hit the “Analysis” button which should be active. This will bring up a graph as shown below. -

Chapter 6 Touch Screen LCD Operation 6.1 Touch Screen LCD Operation and Function The Touch Screen LCD can basically do everything that a laptop computer can do. The only real difference is that there is better visibility of a complete datalog trace on a laptop computer. The LCD allows viewing of datalogs, but due to the smaller screen size, the data must be viewed in separate screens if the file size is very large. -

Two Examples: T . l . A a . . This example means that trigger #1 (TPS or microswitch) is enabled and triggered (T), Trigger #2 is disabled(.), there is a lean cutoff enabled, but not active (l), there is no rich cutoff enabled (.), Stage #1 is enabled and activated (A), stage #2 is enabled and armed, but not active (a), and stages #3 and #4 are not enabled (. - Page 17 Once a dry run is performed, the system can be activated with the nitrous and fuel solenoids hooked up. The following are some basic guidelines for tuning. Every engine will be slightly different: Nitrous typically should not be activated below 3000 RPM or possibly higher depending on the engine. If activated below 3000 RPM, use the progressive controller to meter less amounts of nitrous/fuel as to not create excessive cylinder pressure causing detonation.
