Manual Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel (PWTS) Author: TJ DRAFT Ergänzungen General Thanks for choosing the Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel. Before using this product read this manual for important safety and health information. Keep all manuals for future reference. For replacement manuals got to wwwFanatec.com. WARNING: Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms – children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: • Sit farther from the TV screen. • Use a smaller TV screen. • Play in a well-lit room. • Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. WARNING: Musculoskeletal disorders Use of game controllers, keyboards, mice, or other electronic input devices may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. When playing video games, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not playing a video game. Symptoms such as these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, vibration syndromes, and other conditions. While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including medical and physical conditions, stress and how one copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and uses their body during work and other activities (including playing a video game). Some studies suggest that the amount of time a person performs an activity may also be a factor. If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional. … Attention! The device must not be exposed to rain or humidity in order to avoid risk of fire and the danger of electric shock. Operating temperature: 0°C – 40°C. The maximum operation time of the wheel with continuous Force feedback activity is 1 hour. Let the wheel cool down for a few minutes before you continue. Long playing may cause health risks. Take a break of 5 minutes every 20 minutes, and do not play for more than 2 hours per day. We strongly advise you to not drive a vehicle immediately after using a video game. Utilisation of the vibration and Force Feedback function may cause damage to your health.. The batteries must be treated with due care; properly dispose of leaked or nonfunctional rechargeable batteries; do not mix old and new batteries. Mind correct polarity (+/-) when changing batteries. In case of interferences with other wireless 2.4GHz devices, the interfering devices must be removed or switched off. Not intended for children under the age of 3 years. Contains small pieces.

Fasten the quick release clamps [picture] Please note that if the shape of the edge of your table does not allow the fixation with the table clamp you could use some books to fix it. Simulator installation If you prefer a permanent installation on a table or simulator you can fix the wheel with 4 screws to any flat surface. Please use the drilling template to drill the holes. The length of the screws depend on your table so we did not include any screws but you can use standard metric screws with a diameter of 6 mm [to be confirmed]. Installation of drivers (PC only) For PC use, you need to install the driver before you plug in the RF dongle. The driver requires XXXMB of space on your hard disk and is compatible to Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista. The driver is stored on the memory stick which is included. Please check www.Fanatec.com for the latest updates on the driver or use the automatic update function. The functionality of the driver will be explained in the online menu. Power supply for pedals Option1: Wireless with batteries WARNING: Disposable Battery Safety Improper use of batteries may result in battery fluid leakage, overheating, or explosion. Risk of fire if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. Released battery fluid is corrosive and may be toxic. It can cause skin and eye burns, and is harmful if swallowed. To reduce the risk of injury: • Keep batteries out of reach of children. • Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate, or dispose of batteries in fire. • Use only quality batteries, type AA. • Do not mix new and old batteries. • Remove the batteries if they are worn out or before storing your racing wheel for an extended period of time. • If a battery leaks, remove all batteries, taking care to keep the leaked fluid from touching your skin or clothes. If fl uid from the battery comes into contact with skin or clothes, flush skin with water immediately. Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a damp paper towel, or follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for cleanup. • Dispose of batteries in accordance with local and national disposal regulations (if any). Please install the non-rechargeable AA batteries to the pedals. [picture how to install] You can replace these batteries with any quality rechargeable or non rechargeable batteries. The lifetime of the pedals is about 70 to 100 hours. The pedal fall into stand-by mode after 2 minutes inactivity [to be confirmed] and can be re-activated by fully pressing the gas pedal. When the batteries reach a critical level the LED display of the wheel will display the warning message “bat”. Please replace the batteries to avoid a malfunction of the pedals. Option 2: Power supply from the wheel with cable WARNING: Electrical Safety As with many other electrical devices, failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from electric shock or fire or damage to the racing wheel. If you use AC power, select an appropriate power source: • Use only the power supply and AC power cord that came with your racing wheel or that you received from an authorized repair center. • Do not use nonstandard power sources, such as generators or inverters, even if the voltage and frequency appear acceptable. Only use AC power provided by a standard wall outlet. To avoid damaging the AC power cord: • Protect the cord from being pinched or sharply bent, particularly where it connects to the power outlet and the racing wheel. • Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, or otherwise abuse the power cord. • Do not expose the power cord to sources of heat. • When disconnecting the power cord or power supply, pull on the plug—do not pull on the cord. If the power cord becomes damaged in any way, stop using it immediately and contact Fanatec Customer Support for a replacement. Unplug your racing wheel’s power cord during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. In case you use the wheel in a permanent installation like a simulator cockpit you might not need the wireless functionality of the pedals[p1]. Please install the power supply cables for the pedals on the right side of the pedals and plug it into a free PS/2 plug on the left or right side (same plug is also used to connect the gear stick). WARNING: Remove Batteries Aboard Aircraft Before packing the racing wheel in luggage that will be checked on an aircraft, remove any batteries from the racing wheel. The racing wheel can transmit radio frequency (RF) energy, much like a cellular telephone, whenever batteries are installed. Electrical connection Step 1: Connect power supply The wheel has a wireless data connection to the console or PC which avoids long cables through your living room but it requires a power cable for the powerful Force Feedback Motors. Please plug-in the power supply to the right side of the base [picture] When the wheel powers up it automatically self calibrates with a full rotation to the right and left side. Step 2: Connect the dongle After you installed the software (PC only) you can plug in the dongle to a free USB port on your PC or the Playstation 3. We recommend avoiding to use a USB hub for a better performance. Step 3: Automatic binding The wheel will automatically connect with the dongle. If the white LED on the dongle shines permanently, the binding was successful. If you press the gas pedal, the red LED on the dongle will indicate if the pedals are connected to the dongle. Switch between Modes: On the Playstation 3 some games require to change the mode of the Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel in order to be fully compatible. To change the mode, press “base button” + “Select button” at the same time. Please note that on some Playstation 3 games it is required to use the SIXAXIS controller for Navigation in the games menu. Driver [Description of the driver with screenshots and functionality] TUNING With the TUNING feature you can fine tune the wheel settings independent from the game or platform even during gameplay. You can adjust the strength of the Force Feedback and vibration motors as well as setting the best sensitivity for your favourite game and permanently save 5 settings in the memory of the wheel. To navigate in the menu: 1. Press "TUNING". The currently active set-up will appear, indicated by S_1 [show drawing of LED screen like in the SC manual]"to S_5. You can save up to five set-ups in the controller. 2. Select set-up: _and _ 3. Select function: _ and _ Functions: 4. Change settings of the respective function:_and _ 5. Leave tuning mode: "TUNING" The settings will remain. Sensibility [show LED] Off / 900 / 360 / 180 OFF (default) If the Setting is “OFF” the sensitivity of the wheel will be controlled by the Game settings or the driver settings. This should work fine with most games. Use this mode for all PC games and make the adjustment in the driver instead. 900 /360 / 180 In case you are not able to choose the sensitivity in a Playstation 3 game, you can force the wheel to a certain sensitivity. The value shows the wheel rotation which is needed for a full rotation in the game. Force Feedback [show LED] 0 / 33 / 66 / 100 Adjust the percentage of the total Force Feedback strength. Vibration 0 / 33 / 66 / 100 In the wheel rim are two additional vibration motors which can be controlled by the game if a game supports it. By default the vibration motors are synchronized with the gas pedal to let you feel the vibration of the motor. You can adjust the percentage of the vibration strength you want. Calibration If the H-pattern gear stick (7GS) is not working properly it might require new calibration. Please go through the following steps. Connect the power supply to the base Press “start button” + “TUNING button” at the same time -> The LED display will show G_n Bring the 7GS into neutral position Press the “start button” -> The display will now change to G_r Enter reverse gear Press the “start button” -> The display will now change to G_1 Bring the 7GS into 1. gear Press the “start button” -> The display will now change to G_2 Enter 2nd gear Press the “start button” -> The display will now change to G_3 Bring the 7GS into 3rd gear Press the “start button” -> The display will now change to G_4 Enter reverse gear - Press the “start button” -> The display will now change to G_5 Bring the 7GS 5th gear Press the “start button” -> The display will now change to G_6 Enter 6th gear Press the “start button” -> The display will not change anymore Calibration is completed Coupling After a firmware update or if you exchange a component it might be required to bind the wheel and the pedals to the dongle The LEDs on the dongle indicate if the wheel is coupled correctly. White LED is on: wheel is connected Red LED is on: pedals are connected Please note that the pedals LED is also not blinking if the batteries are empty. In this case, just replace the batteries. Coupling is not required. Coupling the wheel: Press “dongle button” -> Both dongle LEDs start blinking Press “base button” + “Start button” at the same time Wait for a few seconds until the white LED stops blinking and lights up. Coupling the pedals: Press the “dongle button”-> Both dongle LEDs are blinking Press all three pedals (gas, brake, clutch) fully at the same time Wait a few seconds until the blue LED stops blinking and lights up Please note that if it happens during gameplay that you press all 3 pedals at the same time, it will not cause a new coupling. Upgrading the Firmware [We need to ask Heitec how this works] Cleaning your racing wheel Clean only with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Using cleaning solutions may damage your racing wheel.
