• 2-Step Rev Limiter: Use the '1000' and '100' dials under '2 STEP REV LIM' to set the desired launch RPM. This limiter is activated when a specific input (e.g., clutch switch, transbrake) is engaged.
• Maximum Rev Limiter: Use the '1000' and '100' dials under 'MAX REV LIM' to set the absolute maximum engine RPM. This protects the engine from over-revving.
• Silindir Seçimi: The 'CYL' dial is used to select the number of cylinders for accurate RPM readings and limiting. Ensure this is set correctly for your engine (e.g., 4, 6, 8 cylinders).

Always consult the detailed instructions provided with your module for precise adjustment procedures and recommended settings for your specific application.

7. Bakım
