The controller uses digital circuitry to precisely monitor and control the Inductive Type ignition drivers This design enables precise and consistent ignition timing control from High Energy Ignition Coils The High Energy design ensures ignition performance for today s technology 2 Ignition Timing Control is integrated into the controller There are two stages and types of timing retard available The first stage or Initial Retard can range from 0 to 12 degrees This stage is activated immediately when the Progressive Nitrous Timer System is activated The second stage was designed with a progressive timer that applies timing control over a period of time This stage is activated when the Nitrous Delay Timer times out The second stage of retard can range from 0 to 22 degrees and the Progressive Retard Timer can be programmed from 200 to 9 000 seconds IMPORTANT The first and second stages of retard are added together when used together Example 1s stage at 4 degrees and 2 stage at 12 degrees would provide a total of 16 degrees of timing retard 3 Seethe Specification Section for Electrical details B Features based on Engine RPM Control 1 High RPM This selection enables the user to program an Upper RPM Limit for the engine Valid RPM Range is from 3 000 to 14 500 RPM 100 RPM Increments 2 Launch RPM This selection enables the user to program the RPM at which the engine and or motorcycle leave starting line with Appl
