S.L.E.
S.L.E. stands for Starting Line Enhancer. The S.L.E.
feature is typically used in-conjunction with an in-line
Throttle Stop. When activated, the S.L.E. will close the
Throttle Stop. This allows the driver to push the gas pedal to
wide open throttle position and have the engine rev only to
the preset RPM level.
Bracket Mode S.L.E.
In Bracket Mode the S.L.E. can be activated two
different ways. First, before the vehicle is staged, if the Tap
Down button is pressed the S.L.E. is activated. Secondly,
when the starting line setting is turned on, pressing the
Transbrake push-button during the staging of the vehicle will
cause the S.L.E. to activate. Once activated, the S.L.E. stays
on until the Transbrake Delay time is counting down. While
the Transbrake Delay time is counted down the Mega 475
compares the S.L.E time to the remaining Delay time. When
the Delay time becomes less than the S.L.E. time the S.L.E.
Output is turned off and the engine is returned to full throttle.
Any value between 0.00 and 9.99 can be used as a
S.L.E. time. A typical S.L.E. value is eight tenths (0.800).
This setting will open the throttle eight tenths (0.800) of a
second before the Transbrake releases. If the motor does not
get up against the 2 Step in this amount of time, an S.L.E.
value greater than eight tenths (0.800) should be used.
If all nines (9.99) are entered the throttle will open up
as soon as the Transbrake push-button is released. If all
zeros (0.00) are entered the throttle will open up when the
Transbrake releases.
