How it works Cartek uses Infrared to communicate between the Steering Wheel and the Relay Control Module. By using this technology, the wireless communication is completely protected from outside signals such as radio waves and EMF unlike other systems on the market. The system also allows the wireless link to be full 360 degrees.
The infrared Transmitter module is mounted on the rear of the Steering Wheel Panel and is battery powered. The Transmitter only consumes electrical power when a pushbutton is pressed and therefore does not need to be turned off when not in use. When a button is pressed an LED on the Transmitter will show the status of the internal battery. If the LED shows Green then the battery is in good condition, if the LED shows Red then the battery needs to be replaced. Typically, the battery should last 3 years depending on usage.
The Relay Control Module allows users to configure how the buttons operate on the steering wheel. Each button can be individually configured to perform any 1 of 5 different functions:
- Mode 1: Momentary action
- Mode 2: Latching (without memory)
- Mode 3: Latching (with memory)
- Mode 4: Flashing (slow speed, minimum 5 seconds)
- Mode 5: Flashing (fast speed, minimum 3 flashes)
- Mode 6: Flashing (slow speed, latching)
The Relay Control Module incorporates a status LED for each channel. Each relay channel can be wired to output 12v power/signal or 0v power/signal through its rear connectors (Relays rated at 10 A).
The Wireless Control System can be mounted to most racing and aftermarket steering wheels. It now comes a multi colored vinyl pack and UV Fluorescent vinyl pack (glow in dark under UV light) allowing full customization of the steering wheel.
Paddle-shift kit Due to the fast response time of the Cartek Wireless Control system we have been able to produce a version for race cars with Sequential or DSG Gearboxes. Two of the eight channels have been reserved for the paddle-shift, whilst the other six are completely configurable. The paddles are manufactured out of Carbon Fibre, making it an extremely light weight solution.
