RS1 Quick Start Guide

Pre Start Setup

• Check tank pressure, refill when below 35 PSI.
• Connect air tank coupling.
• Turn on air by opening valve adjacent to air tank pressure gauge.
• Attach battery clips, red +, black –.
• Turn on main power switch, status light will glow.

To start race

• 10 seconds before race is to begin push Start button on machine or remote.

FAQs

Number of starts from air tank?

Assuming no leaks develop in the system and the air tank valve is turned off when you are done with the system, you can expect to get at least 24 self tests and start cycles with a 2 flag system. This assumes that the 5 gallon air tank is filled to 125 PSI and runs down to 35 PSI and system regulated pressure is set to 35 PSI. Refilling the tank is easy, since it has a standard tire valve.

How long does battery last?

Battery life depends on the size of the battery, a typical boat starter/deep cylce battery will run the system for several months with weekly usage.

What kind of wind speed can the flags be raised in?

The system can be used in most any wind speed as the pressure to the pnumatic cylinders can be adjusted. The flags will raise up a noticable amount before the cylinder pressure balances the wind pressure on the flag surface area. Using the advanced wind testing system availble at Fleet Racing Products, Inc. we have had the system operating at 30 knots of wind.
