Setting Stage Times and Throttle Modes
To enter a new stage time, first using the Next key move the selection arrows to the line to be changed, line 2 for Stage 1 and
line 3 for Stage 2. Once the desired line has been selected press and release the Clear key the selected display line will now be
blank indicating the unit is ready to accept the new time. Now using numerical keys enter the new time, leading zeros do not have
to be entered. For example if a time of 00.50 for a Stage 1 were desired, 50 would be entered on the keypad. If less than four
digits are entered for a time, pressing the Next key will act as an enter key and the leading zeros will displayed on the LCD. As
the numbers are entered they are shown on the display, indicating the numbers are accepted and entered into memory. If a mistake
is made while entering the time, press and release the Clear key and reenter the time again.
The Scrolling Arrow keys can also be used to change Stage times. First make sure that the selection arrows are on the line to
be changed. If not change which line is selected using the Next key. Once the desired line has been selected pressing and
releasing the Up Arrow key will cause the time to increase by one. While pressing and releasing the Down Arrow key will cause
the time to decrease by one. If the Up Arrow key is held down the time will scroll up and if the Down Arrow key is held down the
time will scroll down.
Note: Entering all zeros into any stage turns that stage off.
The words “off on” or “on off” to the left of the Stage times indicate the two possible Throttle modes for the Pro screen.
To change the Throttle mode, while the selection arrows are on either line 2 or line 3, press and hold down the zero key until
the words “off on” or “on off” to the left of the Stage times change to the opposite setting. Then release the zero key, the
Throttle mode has now been changed. Each time the Zero key is pressed, held, and then released, the Throttle mode will
switch between the two modes. To prevent an accidental switch between the two Throttle modes when entering a new Stage
time, the Zero key will be disabled for two seconds after the fourth number is entered for the new Stage time.
Setting the Delay Time
To enter a new Delay time, first using the Next key move the selection arrows to line 4. Once line 4 has been selected,
press and release the Clear key, the Delay time will now be blank indicating the unit is ready to accept a new time. Now using
numerical keys enter the new time, leading zeros do not have to be entered. For example if 0.010 for a Delay time were
desired 10 would be entered on the keypad. If less than four digits are entered for a time, pressing the Next key will act as an
enter key and the leading zeros will displayed on the LCD. As the numbers are entered they are shown on the display,
indicating the numbers are accepted and entered into memory. If a mistake is made while entering the time, press and release
the Clear key and reenter the time again.
The Scrolling Arrow keys can also be used to change the Delay time. First make sure that the selection arrows are on line 4. If
not, change which line is selected using the Next key. Once line 4 has been selected pressing and releasing the Up Arrow key will
cause the time to increase by one. While pressing and releasing the Down Arrow key will cause the time to decrease by one. If
the Up Arrow key is held down the time will scroll up and if the Down Arrow key is held down the time will scroll down.
How the Mega 350/450 Work
Understanding Pro Mode
The Pro mode feature of the Mega 350/450 was designed especially for vehicles that are used in Pro Light racing. The Pro
screen has settings for a Delay time, a 2 Stage timer, and a single Shift Point. All of these settings are unique to the Pro screen
and have no effect on the unit when the Mega 350/450 is running in Bracket mode. However some settings are common to
both Bracket mode and Pro mode. These are the P.T.S.O. value, the S.F.O mode, and the Shift Output Mode. If you are in Pro
mode and want to change the P.T.S.O. value, the S.F.O mode, or the Shift Output Mode you will have to do so in the Bracket
mode set up screens. Like anything else in the Mega 350/450, once set, these settings will not change unless you go in and
change them.
There are two other Pro mode screens, which are the Driver Reaction Tester and the Replay Tach (Mega 450 only). Both
of these screens work the same as they do in Bracket mode and are explained in the section Understanding Bracket Mode.
The Push-buttons for Pro Mode
The push-button connected to the P.B. 1 terminal controls the Delay time. The P.B. 2 terminal has no function when in Pro
mode. The Tap P.B. terminal works the same in Pro mode as in Bracket mode and is explained in Understanding Bracket
Mode. The L.L. P.B. (Line Lock Push-button) also works the same in Pro and Bracket mode and is explained in
Understanding Bracket Mode.
