back twice fast, enter a 9 by pressing the button 9 times, the simulator will then
flash the program back at you to confirm the correct program. The simulator is
now in program 09.
4.2 Example2: To enter program 12 to simulate a 60-2 trigger, enter a 1 by pressing
the button once, when the simulator has confirmed a 1 by flashing back once,
enter a 2 by pressing the button twice, the simulator will then flash the program
back to confirm the correct program. The simulator is now in program 12.
5. The simulator power off automatically, just press the power on again to apply the
changes.
8. Programming the Simulator
The simulator firmware can be updated as new versions are released. In most cases the
new firmware will activate more triggers to be simulated and new features.
Important!
Remember to hold the power button down when connecting to the simulator with the
firmware programmer, the unit has a relay build in so as soon as you connect the relay
will disconnect the power and the simulator will not have power to program.
Important!
Do not attempt to upload any non-simulator related firmware onto the simulator, the
simulator may be damaged and will have to be send back to Spitronics to be repaired.
9. Testing a Spitronics TCU
Important!
Note that when testing a TCU unit on the simulator that the inputs and output will work
different from an ECU. This is because the TCU has less inputs and outputs than the ECU.
When testing a TCU, put the simulator in mode 45, with this mode you can change the
engine speed and road speed individually to simulate what happens on a motor car while
driving. The TCU has positive outputs so the positive (Red) LED’s will be used to display the
solenoids.
