INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

added together. The maximum retard allowed by the Ignition is a total of 30° (including other

retard amounts from a launch, boost or gear retard).

Activation through RPM: Each step retard can also be activated through rpm. In order to achieve

this, 12 volts must still be applied to the corresponding step retard, and an rpm value must be

selected from the Step RPM menu. When 12 volts are applied, the retard will not activate until

the rpm value is reached. Note that the retard will remain active above this rpm, even when other

stages are activated. It will deactivate when the rpm drops below the set amount.

Note: If you prefer to activate the step retards through the activation wires and not rpm, then the rpm

value in each of the desired step menus must be set to 800 rpm.

Step Retard Off Delay: This feature will set a time based delay to deactivate the step retards.

This is designed to keep the timing retarded to clear the engine of any nitrous oxide prior to

deactivating the retard. It is adjustable from 0 – 2.5 seconds and the default is 0.5 second.

Step Retard Ramp: Each retard step can be ramped to and from its full retard amount over a

time based program (Figure 3). It is adjustable from 0-2.5 seconds in 0.01 second increments.

Default is 0°.

RPM: The minimum engine rpm

that must be reached before a

step retard is activated.

On: The amount of time it takes

for the step retard to reach its

Retard Degree. Allows a gradual

ramp On time to reach the Retard

Degree. User adjustable from

0.00 to 2.50 sec. (0.01 sec

increments).

Off: The amount of time it takes

for the step to retard to reach NO

retard. Allows a gradual ramp Off

time to reach NO Retard. User

adjustable from 0.00 to 2.50 sec.

(0.01 sec increments).

Deg: The amount of retard.

MOMENTARY KILL

This program will provide a way to momentarily

shut off the ignition output. This can be useful

in some applications to stop the ignition output

during a shift. When the Kill circuit is selected

On, the Tan third stage retard activation wire

will be used to kill the ignition output when it

is connected to 12 volts. Once selected as the

Kill program, the Tan wire cannot be used as

a retard step.
