This allows you to select a preset calibration or save a custom calibration to select from. A custom calibration can be made from a PC with the supplied Pro-Data+ software. Switch positions 1 - 7 can be used for custom calibrations. The Charge FI provides three locked calibrations (positions 0, 8 and 9). The other seven switch positions are for calibrations that can also be modified through a PC with MSD's Pro-Data+ software. Following are brief descriptions of each calibration.

PROGRAMMING FEATURES OF THE MENU TREE RPM This is the rpm limit. A different rpm limit can be programmed to the corresponding switch positions. Adjustments are made in 100 rpm increments from 2,000 - 10,000. Default for each program is 8,000 rpm. TEMP When the engine temperature reaches this setting, the factory ECU will go into limp-home mode to protect the engine from overheat damage. Adjustable from 0° - 300°F with 245cF as default. Note: It is recommended to go through the Help file ofthe Pro-Data+ software to familiarize yourself with the programming capabilities of the Charge FI. Programming the timing and rpm curves are very important to the performance of your UN, however, adjustments must be made with care to the engine and its internal components. If you have any questions on tuning and programming, it is recommended to contact an MSD Tech at 888-258-3835. MSO POWERSPORTS • WWW.MSDPDWERSPORTS.COM e- (915) 858-3365 • fAX (915) 858-3496 6 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ROTARY SWITCH The rotary switch next to the main connector of the Charge FI allows you to easily select a programmed curve. The settings are designed to match the programs and timing maps that you create and save (Figure 8). Figure 8 Rotary Switch. PROGRAMMING TIMING/RPM MAPS With the Pro-Data+ software opened, there will be three maps on the right with the main menu, menu items, notes tab and the gauge on the left column. Each window can be enlarged or closed (go to View and select Restore to open all the windows). You can map a timing curve in each of the three charts and save it to a corresponding selection on the rotary dial control of the ignition. Map Advance Curve: This chart allows you to retard the timing based on the input from a MAP sensor (0-5 volt). RPM Advance Curve: This chart allows you to advance or retard the timing in regards to the factory timing curve based on the engine speed. You can plot up to seven different timing points. Fuel vs Rpm Curve This chart allows you to add or remove fuel based on the factory fuel curve. The adjustment range is +/-50% in 1% increments every 100 rpm. Each curve allows up to ten points of fuel versus rpm. Note: When programming a timing map, it is important to note that any timing alterations are based on the stock timing of the factory ECU. For instance, if you advance the timing 4° at 9,000 rpm, the timing is advanced 4° over the factory timing at that rpm. PROGRAMMING A MAP The Pro-Data+ software provides an easy way to create a timing map. 1. From the top menu bar, select View and Trace/Analyze. This brings up the legend for the chart (Figure 9). o 2500 5000 7500 50.0 • 40.0· JO.O· 20.0. 10.0· 0.0 ~-+--------',",.. -----~ I , -10.0 c ·20.0· '. : : : : .'~,-----~ Figure 9 Viewing the Trace/Analyze Box.

By selecting the left box, the curve will be displayed on the screen. All 10 curves can be displayed. The right box indicates which curve can be modified and only one can be selected at a time (Figure 10). 3. To move an existing dot on the screen, left click the dot so it turns Red (active). You can then click and drag that dot to a new point on the screen (Figure 11). 4. To add a new dot, right click when the cursor is in the area to program and select "Add Dot". You can then move the dot to the precise point (Figure 11).

SAVES AND TRANSFERS Whenever a change is made to a program, it either must be saved to a file in your PC or it needs to be transferred to the ignition. You will notice that whenever you make a change to a program, the bullet next to the modified value will turn red. It will remain red until you save it to a file or to the MSD. There are two ways to save your files. Save to MSD: This step will save any changes directly into the ignition. If you are only making one or just a couple modifications, this works well. Save to PC: This will save your changes to show on the PC screen only, indicated by a red bullet point next to any altered values. These modifications will not be active or saved until you save the file or transfer the information to the MSD.
