STARTING LINE CONTROL & SUPER START SYSTEM
STOP
A
Starting Line Control (SLC) is a shared output with STOP A. This output can be used to control a single throttle stop as a
down track to control the E.T., a starting line control to control the staging RPM, or both. If a single throttle stop is used for
both starting line and down track duties the staging RPM must be the same as the down track RPM. To use the STOP A /
SLC output as just a starting line control, simply change the STOP A CONTROL setting to OFF. To use the STOP A / SLC
output as just a down track control, simply change the START LINE CONTROL setting to OFF. The starting line control
settings are accessed through the STOP A menu. There are 4 different SLC options (see below for individual descriptions).
This output is wired to a linkage style throttle stop to control your staging RPM in various ways. Press and hold the RSET

modes, see below for specific functions.
SLC Transbrake Release functions as follows: At application of the transbrake (when you press
the transbrake button) the linkage stop will close your throttle. At transbrake solenoid release (launch)
the linkage stop will pull the throttle wide open. If you wish, the Super Start can be used in this mode
also. Momentarily press the Skip Button prior to staging the car and the linkage stop will close right
thensoyoucanstagethecarwithyourfootontheoor.Thelinkagestopwillstillpullwideopenat
transbrake release.
SLC Timed functions as follows: At application of the transbrake (when you press the transbrake
button) the linkage stop will close your throttle. At the predetermined time (whatever is set in this set-
up screen) BEFORE transbrake solenoid release (launch) the linkage stop will pull the throttle wide
open. Using this feature will allow you to have the car come up against the converter or 2-step for
exactly the same amount of time every pass whether you are crossing over or launching off your tree.
If you wish, the Super Start can be used in this mode also. Momentarily press the Skip Button prior
to staging the car and the linkage stop will close right then so you can stage the car with your foot on
theoor.Thelinkagestopwillstillpullwideopenatthepredeterminedtimebeforetransbrakerelease.
SLC Prestage functions as follows: In this mode you must activate the Super Start System prior
to staging by momentarily pressing the Skip Button to have the linkage stop close your throttle. At
activation of the transbrake solenoid (when you press the transbrake button) the throttle will immediately
pull to wide open so the motor will come up against the converter or 2-step for the entire staging
duration. This mode is primarily used in pro-tree classes with short staging durations but it can be used
with a full tree if desired
SLC Turned Off: If you wish to run without the aid of your Starting Line Control you can simply turn the
output off. In this mode the SLC will do nothing. The off setting is also used when the STOP A / SLC
output terminal is to be used to control a down track throttle stop only.
