User Manual for Sim-Lab XP-1 Pedal Set

Quick guide from the manual

The Sim-Lab XP-1 200KG Loadcell Pedal Set is a high-performance, fully customizable sim-racing pedal set. This manual covers the installation, mechanical configuration, and software setup required to get started. Key steps include mounting the pedals to your rig, adjusting the pedal base and face angles, configuring the brake and throttle feel, and calibrating the pedals using the RaceDirector software.

Installation

The pedals can be mounted directly to profile-based pedal decks (like the P1-X) or other pedal decks (like the GT1-EVO) using the 6mm slots located on the bottom of the pedal base. Ensure you use the provided mounting hardware. When mounting to a pedal slider baseplate, use the specific hardware indicated in the manual to protect the baseplate.

Configuration

Pedal Base: You can adjust the angle of the pedal arm by loosening the two pivot bolts (P) and the two arc bolts (A). This allows for a 20-degree range of adjustment. Ensure all four bolts are tightened securely before use, especially on the brake pedal.

Pedal Face: The position and angle of the pedal face can be adjusted. Loosen the two bolts (F) to change the position. To change the angle, loosen the top (T) bolts and remove the bottom (B) bolts to rotate the bracket, then re-secure.

Throttle configuration

The throttle spring can be adjusted for stiffness by unlocking the blue knobs and tightening the adjustment knob (A) clockwise for a stiffer feel. The travel can also be adjusted using the two blue knobs on the bottom of the pedal arm. The inner knob (L) is for locking, and the outer knob (A) is for adjustment. Ensure there is 3-4mm of clearance between the clevis fork and the pedal arm flange to prevent mechanical interference.

Brake configuration

The brake stack is customizable using different elastomers and preload springs. The medium elastomer (60A) is pre-installed. Available ratings are Soft (50A), Medium (60A), and Hard (70A). To change parts, remove the spring bolt (S) to release the clevis fork. If a spring makes noise after swapping, rotate it a quarter turn.

Clutch configuration

The clutch pedal shares base parts with the brake and throttle but uses a heavy spring. It is limited to the top two adjustment points on the pedal arm to prevent the clevis fork from colliding with the pivot. Adjustments should be made in small increments.

Control box

The control box can be mounted using the provided tabs. All pedal inputs are labeled. Connect the pedals to the control box and ensure the USB cable is plugged in last to ensure correct calibration on the first connection. If calibration issues occur, reset the control box by unplugging the USB cable, waiting a few seconds, and plugging it back in.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and lubrication are recommended to maintain performance. Use WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease to lubricate moving parts, including the spring bolt and bushings.

RaceDirector software

Download and install RaceDirector from www.sim-lab.eu/srd-setup. Activate the XP-1 Pedals on the Settings page. The device page allows for calibration, graph adjustment, and deadzone configuration. Press 'Calibrate' to enter calibration mode, press the pedal to maximum force, and finish. Firmware updates can be managed via the Firmware tab.

Accessories

The manual includes instructions for the Black conversion kit (replacing blue parts) and the Foot Support (installed between the pedal face and arm).
