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.

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.

Below you will find the CSL Elite Pedals V2 drilling template.

Please note the images are shown from a top view.

When printing the Drilling Template at home, please make sure that the print size is 100% (file size = print size). Therefore "automatic page scaling" must be deactivated in the print dialog.

The total height of the CSL Elite Pedals V2 is 225 mm.

The CSL Elite Pedals V2 package includes all the necessary components for tuning the brake feel to your preferences. The table below provides information on what to expect from each elastomer combination and the conditions for use.

Follow the steps within this section to perform the brake tuning process.

NOTE: When mixing different Shore value elastomers, the conditions stipulated in the table for the lowest Shore value elastomer used must be adhered to.

NOTE: Always use either the S1 or S2 spring in conjunction with the pre-load elastomer regardless of which configuration you decide on as shown in the box on the right.

The CSL Elite Pedals V2 features removable pedal plate rubber covers.

ATTENTION! Do not use any tools to attach or detach the pedal plate rubber covers to avoid damages, scratches and / or cuts on the product parts! The rubber covers are designed for attaching and detaching without tools.

ATTENTION! Do not connect the Pedals via RJ12 and USB at the same time!

After installing the Fanatec PC Driver (Fanatec Control Panel) open the Fanatec Control Panel, then navigate to ‘Pedals’ as shown on the right:

Lo --> 010 ... 100 --> Hi

BRF default: 050

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 or 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 when the pedals are connected via RJ12.

In ‘Automatic Mode’, the automatic calibration sets a new maximum for the throttle and clutch when each pedal is pressed beyond the default value and held for approximately 2 seconds.

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 select ‘Max’.

NOTE: For ‘Min’ values there should always be a minimum force applied that is at least equal to the weight your foot resting on the pedal plate. Not doing so may result in ghost inputs.

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.

By selecting ‘Reset Calibration’, the minimum and maximum values of each pedal will be reset to the default values.

NOTE: Do not press the pedals during a reset.

Clean only with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Using cleaning solutions may damage your CSL Elite Pedals V2.
