Page 5: Introduction
Testing is very important since it will help you utilize this product to its full potential. Please read all of the instructions and information thoroughly before attempting to install or use this product. Davis Technologies TMS-5500-SL Elec Points www.moretraction.com... -
Page 6: How Does It Work
20-25% to fix it. But if the tire slip is detected within one cylinder worth of crank rotation, as the Davis Technologies systems do, then a small reduction in power can reduce or stop the tire slip. - Page 7 In fact, Davis Technologies’ systems are at least 20 times faster than other systems which are integrated into the fuel injection or ignition system.

“GND” terminal and the magneto body will cause failure! 4. Connect the terminal marked “KILL” to the NEG Coil Terminal. WARNING-HIGH VOLTAGE !! Failure to properly handle and insulate connection could result in electrical shock! Davis Technologies TMS-5500-SL Elec Points www.moretraction.com... - Page 10 If a problem is suspected then the unit can simply be disconnected from the kill wire leaving the engine in original form. Disconnecting the power supply should also deactivate the system. Davis Technologies TMS-5500-SL Elec Points www.moretraction.com...

Page 13: Traction Control Adjustments
Traction Control Adjustments Davis Technologies’ patented systems have the ability to learn the amount of acceleration that the vehicle is achieving on average and activate the outputs if this learned average is exceeded. Different tracks, cars, conditions, etc. require different settings for the system to function effectively. - Page 14 (When using this method the Mode setting has no effect on the system, with the exception of Mode 0, or Mode 9). (M0 turns unit off, except for sensor test / M9 activates window RPM test). Davis Technologies TMS-5500-SL Elec Points www.moretraction.com...

Page 15: Traction Control Setup
This may allow for easier starting, but may not be compatible with all magnetos. The retard can be adjusted from 10-18 degrees in 2 degree increments, or turned off. Davis Technologies TMS-5500-SL Elec Points www.moretraction.com... -
Page 16: Buffer
This is useful to force the timing to stay retarded long enough to stop a high momentum spin, even though the RPM spike was very brief. (This setting only accessible using the “Traction Control Panel Software” or a Handheld Programmer) Davis Technologies TMS-5500-SL Elec Points www.moretraction.com... -

Page 22: Sample Rate
Sample Rate value. Release the “Test” button, The LED will flash to show the value that the Sample Rate is now set to. Valid settings are 1-5. (Most users never need to adjust the Sample Rate) Davis Technologies TMS-5500-SL Elec Points www.moretraction.com... -
Page 23: Small Corrections Only Rpm
Ending RPM is set to. The first digit is output followed by a short pause, then the second digit is output. (75% = 7,5 Blinks) (zeros are indicated by shorter blinks) Davis Technologies TMS-5500-SL Elec Points www.moretraction.com... -
Page 24: Ending Rpm
Ending RPM is set to. The first digit is output followed by a short pause, then the second digit is output. (95% = 9,5 Blinks) (zeros are indicated by shorter blinks) Davis Technologies TMS-5500-SL Elec Points www.moretraction.com... -
Page 25: Confirming Settings
