The Sim-Lab XP-1 Pedals are a high-performance sim-racing pedal set featuring a 200KG loadcell brake, Hall sensor throttle and clutch, and 16-bit resolution input. This manual provides instructions for mounting, adjusting pedal feel, software setup, and maintenance.
Installation
The pedals are compatible with profile-based pedal decks (e.g., P1-X) and universal baseplates. Use the 6mm slots on the bottom of the pedal base to bolt the set down securely.
Control Box Installation: The control box can be mounted using the provided tabs (80x40 pattern). Connect all pedals to the labeled ports on the control box. Plug in the USB cable last to ensure correct calibration on the first connection.
Configuration and Adjustments
Pedal Base: You can adjust the angle of the pedal arm by loosening the four bolts: two (P) at the pivot and two (A) in the arcs. Rotate the pedal to your preferred position and tighten all bolts securely.
Pedal Face: Adjust the position and angle of the pedal face by loosening the bolts (F). For angle adjustments, loosen the top (T) bolts and remove the bottom (B) bolts to rotate the bracket, then re-secure.
Throttle and Brake: The throttle spring stiffness and travel are adjustable via the blue knobs (A for adjustment, L for locking). The brake pedal allows for changing elastomers (Soft 50A, Medium 60A, Hard 70A) and preload springs. Always check travel manually to ensure no parts collide.
Software Setup
Download and install the latest version of RaceDirector from www.sim-lab.eu/srd-setup. Activate the XP-1 Pedals in the 'Settings' page. Use the device page to calibrate pedals, adjust input curves, and set deadzones. Always check for firmware updates using the firmware updater tool available at www.sim-lab.eu/firmware-updater.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and lubrication are recommended to maintain performance. Use WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease on moving parts and the spring bolt bushing.
