Thank you for choosing
To get the most out of your CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit, please read this manual
before first use. It contains important health and safety information and
should be retained for future reference.
WARNING! Photosensitive Seizures
A 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 light-headedness, 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.

TUNING OPTIONS
After installing the Fanatec PC Driver (Fanatec Control Panel) open the
Fanatec Control Panel, then navigate to `Pedals’ as shown below:
Brake Force changes the force needed to reach 100% brake input for load cell brake pedals and is available when a pedal set featuring a load cell brake is connected to a wheel base via RJ12 and to a PC via USB. `Lo’ requires the least amount of brake pressure, 100 requires the most amount of brake pressure.
BRF can be accessed via the wheel base Tuning Menu as well.
Combined Pedals
This feature allows the brake (load cell) and accelerator pedals to simultaneously operate on a single axis. 49% to 0% is operated by the brake pedal and 50% to 100% is operated by the accelerator pedal.
This feature’s purpose is to allow compatibility with older games that support only a single axis for braking and accelerating and is only accessible when connected to a Fanatec wheel base.
Manual Mode
By enabling `…Manual Mode’, the minimum and maximum values of each pedal can be manually set throughout the mechanical travel range of each pedal.
Example: Press the clutch pedal to the desired lower travel range for
when you want the signal to start, then select Min’. Press the clutch pedal to the desired upper travel range for when you want the signal to reach 100%, then selectMax’.
BRF (Brake Force) acts as the maximum value setting for the load cell brake
and is accessible via the wheel base Tuning Menu as well. The brake Min’ and Max’ / `Min’ options for the other pedals are only accessible via the Fanatec
Control Panel.
CLEANING
Clean only with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Using cleaning solutions may damage your CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit must not be modified in any way, other than what is explicitly described in this manual. Endor® AG expressly prohibits analysis and utilisation of the electronics, hardware, software, and firmware contained in this device. In case difficulties occur when using your CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit, please use the following troubleshooting guide. You will find further details and contact information on Fanatec.com/support/faq.
If the CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit is not working properly:
| Problem description | Solution |
|---|
The PC driver or the wheel base does not recognise the CSL Pedals Load Cell
Kit.| Make sure that you have updated your wheel base and CSL Pedals LC
firmware to the latest firmware version contained within the latest PC driver
which can be downloaded from
fanatec.com/driver.
Ensure that you are using the RJ12 cable included with your CSL Pedals
package.
Ensure that the RJ12 cables are plugged in the correct ports of the CSL Pedals
Load Cell Kit module and the correct port of the wheel base. See section 4.4
“Connections”
After performing a firmware update of the CSL Pedals LC, the manually
calibrated pedal positions are reset.| After performing a firmware update of
the CSL Pedals LC, the manually calibrated pedal positions have to be manually
calibrated again. See section 4.5 “Tuning Options”, “Manual Mode”
Pedal signal of the CSL Pedals and / or CSL Pedals LC in-game behaviour feels
incorrect.| Connect the CSL Pedals LC to a PC or a wheel base. Start the
Fanatec Control Panel and check the indicator bars of each pedal while
pressing each corresponding pedal.
You may need to do a manual calibration of minimum and / or maximum positions or reselect ‘…Manual Mode’ to adjust the pedal signal behaviour as desired.
After startup the CSL Pedals and / or CSL Pedals LC pedal signals are not
correctly indicated, can be verified in the Fanatec Control Panel.| When
powering ON the CSL Pedals LC without ‘…Manual Mode’ selected, every pedal
lever must first be pressed to the maximum position and then back to the
minimum position. The signal of each pedal should be fine. See section 4.5
“Tuning Options”, “Manual Mode”
Your PC does not boot when the CSL Pedals LC is connected via USB before
Windows has booted.| This phenomenon is related to some main board
manufacturers’ BIOS. In this case, it is required to boot the PC first and
then connect the CSL Pedals LC via USB.
