Electronic Bite-Point Calibration
Precise adjustments in 1.0 % and 0.1 % increments
Change bite-point via configuration tool or directly on the wheel rim:
push both joystick buttons for 1s to acces bite-point mode
LED lights up to indicate calibration mode
rotate left joystick for 1.0 % increments / right joystick for 0.1 % increments (LED flashes to indicate changes)
exit calibration mode by pushing both joysticks again for 1s
Recommended procedure for finding best setting:
enter calibration mode and set bite-point to high value, e.g. 80 %
pull slave clutch only
apply throttle
reduce bite-point in 1.0 % increments (left joystick) until vehicle starts moving
make test starts to fine tune desired bite-point setting
exit bite-point calibration mode
Recommended procedure for quick race starts
pull both master and slave clutches
apply throttle
race start -> let master clutch snap
it will take less than 20 ms to reach desired bite-point
slowly release slave clutch
