AUTOMATIC RACING WHEEL AND PEDAL SET CALIBRATION
The wheel automatically self-calibrates when you plug the racing wheel into an electrical outlet and
connect the racing wheel's USB connector to the console.
During this phase, the racing wheel will rotate quickly towards the left and the right, covering a 1080
degree angle, before stopping at the centre.
Never touch the racing wheel during the self-calibration phase!
(This could result in improper calibration and/or personal injuries.)
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION OF THE PEDAL SET
Never connect the pedal set to the racing wheel's base (or disconnect it from the base) when it is
connected to the console or during gameplay (this could result in improper calibration).
Always connect the pedal set before connecting the racing wheel to the console.
Once the racing wheel's calibration is complete and the game has been started, the pedals are
automatically calibrated after a few presses.
If your racing wheel and/or pedal set do not function correctly, or if they seem to be improperly
calibrated:
Power off your console and completely disconnect the racing wheel. Then reconnect all cables
(including the power supply cable and the pedal set), and restart your console and your game.
INTERNAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The wheel's cooling system is composed of a heat sink and a fan.
• A thermostat monitors the wheel's internal temperature.
• When you are using the wheel in a game:
- The cooling fan starts up when the wheel has reached a certain temperature (after a few minutes
of gameplay, depending on the strength of the Force Feedback effects used).
- The power of the Force Feedback effects automatically decreases as soon as the wheel reaches
a much higher temperature level (to protect the motor). The power of these effects automatically
increases as soon as the temperature slightly decreases.
• When you're done playing: due to the motor's thermal inertia, the cooling fan continues to operate
until the temperature drops below the fan's startup level. Your wheel has been designed in this way
in order to facilitate cooling, and to protect the motor (this may take from 5 to 45 minutes, depending
on the temperature reached while using the wheel in a game).
WARNING:
WARNING:
Never press the pedals during the racing wheel's
self-calibration phase or while a game is loading!
(This could result in improper calibration.)
