Description
Cartek Wireless Control System - a plug'n'play solution for your steering wheel.
Introduction
The Wireless Control System from CARTEK is the quickest and easiest way to install pushbutton controls to a detachable racing steering wheel.
The system has 8 pushbutton switches which are wirelessly linked to 8 relays within the Relay Control Unit. These relays are microprocessor controlled and individually configurable to provide a choice of functions including momentary, latching and flashing modes for uses such as: PTT radio, pit lane limiter, dash menus, lights, indicators, etc..
The complete system includes a universal fitting steering wheel panel, incorporating 8 sealed pushbutton switches and infra red transmitter module, an infra red receiver and a relay control unit.
How It Works
Long Battery Life
The infrared transmitter module is mounted to rear of the steering wheel pushbutton panel and is battery powered. The transmitter only consumes electrical power when a pushbutton is pressed and therefore does not need to be turned off when not in use.
When a pushbutton is pressed an LED on transmitter will show the status of the internal battery. If the LED shows green then the battery is in good condition, if the LED shows red then the battery needs to be replaced.
Battery life is rated at over 2000 hours by the manufacturer.
Channel Mode Configuration
Each channel can be individually configured to perform any 1 of 5 different functions:
- Mode 1: Momentary action
- Mode 2: Latching (without memory)
- Mode 3: Latching (with memory)
- Mode 4: Flashing (slow speed, minimum 5 seconds)
- Mode 5: Flashing (fast speed, minimum 3 flashes)
- Mode 6: Flashing (slow speed, latching)
It is also possible to alter which pushbutton is allocated to which channel. A full reset function is also available.
Customise Your Own
The Wireless Control System can be mounted to most racing and aftermarket steering wheels.
The kit is supplied with a multi coloured vinyl pack and UV Fluorescent vinyl pack (glow in dark under UV light) allowing full customisation of the steering wheel.
