User Manual for Fanatec CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit

Quick guide from the manual

The Fanatec CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit is a high-performance upgrade for your pedal set. Before starting, ensure you have updated your wheel base and pedal firmware using the latest PC driver from Fanatec.com/driver. Important: Do not connect the pedals via RJ12 and USB at the same time. Always place the box on its side when removing contents to avoid damage.

Package Contents

• 1x CSL Pedals Load Cell Module
• 1x USB Cable (~180 cm)
• 1x RJ12 Cable (~45 cm)
• 4x Countersunk Torx Bolts
• 1x T20 Torx Key

Assembly

Follow these steps to attach the Load Cell module to your existing CSL Pedals set:

1. Remove the RJ12 cable of the standard brake module from the accelerator pedal module and remove it from the cable management clips.
2. Remove the bolts of the brake and accelerator pedal units from the heel rest.
3. Move the brake and accelerator pedal modules outwards to create space.
4. Place the CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit module under the heel rest in your preferred position.
5. Insert the included bolts and firmly secure the pedal units to the heel rest using the T20 Torx key.

Pedal Plate Adjustment

The pedal plate is height-adjustable. There are 3 height settings that can be adjusted in descending increments of 15 mm. Use the included T20 Torx key to loosen the bolts and adjust the plate to your preference.

Connections

Depending on your setup, connect the Load Cell module as follows:

• Option 1 (PC): Connect the CSL Pedals Load Cell module directly to a Windows PC via the included USB cable.
• Option 2 (Wheel Base): Connect the module to a Fanatec wheel base via the RJ12 cable.

Ensure the RJ12 cable is connected to the 'Wheel Base / Load Cell' port of the accelerator module and the 'Load Cell' port of the Load Cell module.

Tuning Options

After installing the Fanatec PC Driver, open the Fanatec Control Panel to access tuning settings:

• BRF (Brake Force): Adjusts the pressure required to reach 100% brake input. 'Lo' requires the least pressure, while higher values require more.
• Combined Pedals: Allows the brake and accelerator to operate on a single axis, useful for older games.
• Manual Mode: Enables manual setting of minimum and maximum values for each pedal throughout their mechanical travel range.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean the device only with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Do not use cleaning solutions as they may damage the unit. Do not open the casing, as this will void the warranty.

Troubleshooting

If the device is not recognized, ensure you are using the correct RJ12 cable and that it is plugged into the correct ports. If pedal signals feel incorrect, perform a manual calibration in the Fanatec Control Panel or reselect 'Manual Mode'. If your PC does not boot with the pedals connected via USB, boot the PC first and then connect the device.
