full throttle braking. And measuring mode to match TPS1/TPS2 and PED1/PED2 pattern.

If you do not understand these safety issues stop now and take more advice via email correspondence with
PowerMods. Book a training session if required.

1. Select Auxillary Setup screen (8)(9)

2. Select Mode = FBW or Dual FBW for double throttle control
3. Select FBW Response to match requires operating speed of throttle depending on application. 1 = Fast
and 10 = slow, keep setting inside these parameters
4. Select FBW Freq to match throttle for smooth operation, typical between 4-8 where 4 = 5kHz.
5. Select RPM on = min Close Rpm required for anti stall – if the RPM drops below this rpm it will
bump the throttle open, causes irratic idle.
6. DI 1 and DI2 Blip inputs are used for gear shifthing, Throttle will jump to these values when shift
signal is applied on the inputs. Set to 0 to disable. Blip Timer sets the duration of blip.
7. DI 3 and DI 4 are for idle up inputs eg. Aircon and Fan idle stabilizing. Connect the DI input to the
AC or Fan relay trigger input ONLY, not to the Fan motor or AC solenoid as this will damage the
ECU, Fan becomes a generator at 80-90v when the relay contact opens until the Fan speed gets to
Zero.
8. Select (F8) and Select FBW Maps
9. FBW +CAL maps this is used for idle up function and to calibrate the throttle curve require.
Manipulates the PED1 input to user interface.

12 | P a g e
 PowerManual

10. FBW -CAL maps this is used for idle down function and to calibrate the throttle curve require.
Manipulates the PED1 input to user interface.
11. FBW RPM Lim maps this is used Rpm limiter via throttle if required, 32 Maps every 250 RPM eg for
RPM limit at 5000RPM start at Load site 16 and ramp from 0 to 100 by Load site 20, this generates a
smooth limiter.
12. FBW Temperature Map – used for cold start idle up until temperature is reached.
13. FBW Hold = Torque required to hold throttle at Requested PED1 command, typical 50%
14. FBW Deccel = Torque required to close throttle to the PED1 requested position – Typical 25% -
Don’t go below 15%
15. FBW Accel = Torque required to open Throttle to the PED1 requested Position – Typical 65-85%
depending on motor size.

Electronic throttle setup requires attention to throttle shudder and adjusting the FBW Hold/Decell/Accel Map
by 5-10% for every PED1 position is required. The more you set the beter it gets.

Throttle Limiters

Select Aux Functions DBW Mode

Select FBW MAPS

Options: 0 = 0ff and Set Value = Max Throttle opening

Maps available for the following inputs as engine safety control.

1. Tps2
2. Temperature maps
3. Tps
4. Oil Pressure
5. Oil Temperature
6. MAP Sensor – overboost control

Example Temperature will be on Temperature Map, hot value will be load site 1-5 and start setting

a. Bar 5 = 60%
b. Bar 4 = 50%
c. Bar 3 = 40%
d. Bar 2 = 30%
e. Bar 1 = 20%

Thus as it gets hotter the throttle opening is gradually limited more.

Over Boost select MAP Sensor MAP and for 1 Bar goto the 1 Bar LS and depending on MAP Sensor Range
Std would be around Bar 24.

a. Bar 24 = 80%
b. Bar 25 = 70%
c. Continue decreasing max throttle until 20% – 30%

2. Select auxillary setup (8)(9)
3. WS is the un-driven input on the TDC input if available
4. DS is the Driven input on DI 4 input.
5. Speed sense = 0 OFF
6. Speed sense = Drive Speed = Launch Mode, if Speed vs Time > Launch Speed time Load site then
throttle will shut to 25%.
7. Speed sense = Drive + Wheel speed then if Drive Speed > WS + Slip then throttle will close to 25%.
Slip speed is calibrated by the WS and DC calibration difference. Eg WS Calibration = 20 and DS
Calibration = 15 gives a 25% Slip.
