Auto-start Throttle Settings and Engine Cut AT-START Levels LV2, LV3 Only
DEFINITIONS:
•
Auto-start: A pre-set throttle position, less than full throttle, to be used for the
initial acceleration off the line without having wheel spin. When the trigger is
released, auto-start is turned off and throttle operates normally again.
•
ATS: Auto-start status.
•
Engine Cut: Shuts the engine off without having to adjust the throttle trim. Takes
the throttle servo to a preset position when the switch is pressed. (Not available
to models using braking/reverse from the throttle servo. Primarily for boats.)
•
TG.P: Trigger point at which auto-start is activated.
•
PRST: Preset throttle servo position when function is activated. Preset is a
“true” preset – it is not a mix or a portion of the EPA. It is truly a
command to move the servo to a set position regardless of other inputs,
including trigger.
•
MODE: Which function is being utilized at this time. (Engine cut and auto-start can not be used together).
•
AT&SW: Auto-start is activated by throttle trigger or switch. Switch can be assigned in FUNC-SW (pp. 34-35) and
used to turn on/off the auto-start feature without having to pull or release the throttle trigger to do so.
•
INH: Inhibited. Function is electronically inhibited and will not operate until changed to another setting.
•
SW: Switch operated. Auto-start is inhibited and engine cut is available. (Assigned in FUNC-SW, pp. 34-35.)
AVAILABLE FOR: Throttle servo only.
ADJUSTABILITY:
•
MMOODDEE
: Inhibited, switch only (engine cut), auto-start with switch override (autostart).
•
AATTSS
: Inhibited, off (not available until set), ready (will activate on next trigger pull), active (operating now).
•
TTGGPP
: Inhibited, 5-95. Default: 5.
•
PPRRSSTT
: Brake 100-1, 0, Forward 0-100. Default: 0.
•
Auto-start may be assigned to a switch. Engine cut must be assigned to a switch to operate. (See FUNC-SW, pp. 34-35.)
INTERACTIONS:
•
EPA has NO effect on the preset position. The preset position may exceed EPA. Be sure to set auto-start after setting EPA.
•
Servo reversing DOES change the direction of the preset in this function.
•
No other function affects the preset except servo reversing.
•
Trigger position has no effect on engine cut. Engine cut will shut engine to the preset position regardless.
•
Auto-start must be restarted for each use by going to the auto-start function and pressing the + and – keys together
for one second while ATS is selected, or assigning and holding on a switch. (See FUNC-SW, p. 34-35.)
•
If throttle triggered, auto-start remains active once started until the throttle trigger is returned to neutral.
DESIRED END RESULT: Avoiding wheel spin on starts and shutting engine off safely.
CAUTION: Remember that preset is not relative to EPA, so always check for binding if other changes have been made.
