Serial Port Switch User Instructions

sps®

Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of a Revo SPS.

These instructions are a guide to using your Revo serial port switch. Further advice can always be obtained by contacting the Revo dealer where you purchased this device or by visiting the Revo website at: www.revotechnik.com

Your SPS is engineered to serve you well over many years if properly cared for.

We suggest that you store your SPS in the box to pro- tect it from damage. Also please avoid getting the SPS unit wet.

Serial Port Switching is a patent pending technology from Revo that allows you an unprecedented amount of control over your modern computerised vehicle.

Note:- Batteries are not required for your SPS.

SPS Variants

Now we will cover the differences between each SPS unit. Some of the functions will be described in more detail as we go along or at the end of this section.

sps 1

Mode 0: SPS inactive.

Mode 1: Stock mode.

Mode 2: Performance mode enabled.

All other positions are disabled.

The Stock mode runs the original factory boost, igni- tion, and fuelling. This provides stock performance.

Performance mode activates the Revo performance settings.

For DBW engines, these settings are as default or as last set by your Revo dealer.

sps 3

When used on Non-DBW and Diesel models, the SPS 3 acts like an SPS 1. The Mode selector is active, but the range selector is inactive. For DBW, the SPS 3 performs the following operations;

Anti-Theft Mode

To enable Anti-Theft modes, an SPS 2 or SPS 3 is required. This is only available for DBW vehicles.

Do not attempt to start the engine after enabling the Anti-Theft function at the end of the SPS switching procedure. Simply turn the ignition off.

When Anti-Theft is enabled, the vehicle will not run. The engine may catch if starting is attempted, howev- er the engine will not run normally.

The engine can be started normally after disabling the Anti-Theft function.

Please note that if there was an attempt to start the engine while the Anti-Theft was enabled, then it may stumble when first started again. A simple blip of the throttle will clear the engine.
