Thank you for choosing

To get the most out of your CSL DD, please read this manual before first use. It contains important health and safety information and should be retained for future reference.

WARNING! 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.

WARNING! 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.

MODES
To cycle through modes, short press the power button whilst the wheel base is on. The LED colour illuminating the power button will indicate the current mode:

FANATEC-CSL-TC-Table-Clamp-FIG- (19) Red indicates PC mode

FANATEC-CSL-TC-Table-Clamp-FIG- (20) Green indicates Xbox mode (Xbox licensed steering wheel required) NOTE: This is accompanied by a white LED on the Xbox licensed steering wheel when the wheel base is connected to an Xbox.

FANATEC-CSL-TC-Table-Clamp-FIG- (21) Yellow indicates ClubSport Wheel Base V2.5 Compatibility mode

NOTE: It is also possible to change modes through a specific button combination on every Fanatec steering wheel. Please refer to your steering wheel quick guide in order to see which button combination is required.
NOTE: Once the mode has been changed manually, the wheel base will remain in the selected mode after subsequent booting until the mode is manually changed again. Exception: After a firmware update is performed.

CENTRE CALIBRATION
It may be necessary to calibrate the centre position manually. This will be indicated by “CAL” flashing on the display of every Fanatec steering wheel as illustrated below:

FANATEC-CSL-TC-Table-Clamp-FIG- (22)

NOTE: Every Fanatec steering wheel has a specific button combination in order to perform a centre calibration. Please refer to your steering wheel quick guide in order to see which button combination is required. Centre calibration can also be performed in the PC driver.

SHIFTER CALIBRATION

NOTE: Every Fanatec steering wheel has a specific button combination in order to perform a shifter calibration. Please refer to your steering wheel quick guide in order to see which button combination is required. Shifter calibration can also be performed in the PC driver. After a firmware update has been performed, the wheel base will request the shifter calibration automatically as soon as a non-calibrated H-pattern shifter is connected and detected. The menu will guide you through the calibration steps as described below.

In order to enter the H-pattern shifter calibration mode, press the button combination as described in the quick guide of the attached Fanatec steering wheel while an H-pattern shifter is connected.
Put the H-pattern shifter lever into the position shown on the steering wheel display and acknowledge each gear position by pressing the indicated button for the attached steering wheel to get to the next one.

The images shown below are from the LED and OLED displays of Fanatec steering wheels:

FANATEC-CSL-TC-Table-Clamp-FIG- (23)

NOTE: Instructions displayed on steering wheels featuring an OLED display may differ slightly from each other after firmware updates.
If your shifter has no 7th gear, just acknowledge it by pressing the indicated button for the attached steering wheel when the shifter lever is physically in 6th gear. Shifter calibration will be completed after the 7th gear has been confirmed.
NOTE: If you did not intend to enter the shifter calibration mode, complete the calibration process either without a connected shifter or without moving the shifter lever. You may then leave the shifter calibration mode at the end of the process. This has no impact on the original calibration and you can go ahead without a shifter.

TUNING MENU
In order to enter the Tuning Menu, press the Tuning Menu button of the connected Fanatec steering wheel. The Tuning Menu will be shown on the display of the connected steering wheel. To navigate through the Tuning Menu, use the D-Pad or FunkySwitchTM of the connected steering wheel.

NOTE: Read the quick guide of the connected Fanatec steering wheel in order to perform various functions such as centre calibration via button combinations. Tuning parameters are subject to change and may be altered in future firmware versions.

TUNING MENUS AND PROFILES

Standard Tuning Menu: 1 Auto + 1 Custom setup Core parameters only Advanced Tuning Menu: 1 Auto + 5 Custom setup All parameters

Auto Setup:
Auto Setup allows games to control tuning parameter values for a force feedback experience as intended by the developer. Manual changes to tuning parameter values by the user are not possible.
Enter the Tuning Menu by pressing the Tuning Menu button and select ‘A SET’ to activate the Auto Setup. When a game actively uses Auto Setup, ‘A.SET.’ will be shown. If no game uses Auto Setup, the factory default tuning settings are used.

In order to view which tuning parameters are automatically adjusted, enter the Tuning Menu by pressing the Tuning Menu button. Select ‘A SET’, then navigate to the desired tuning parameter. Attempt to change the tuning parameter which will reveal the auto adjusted value.

Standard Tuning Menu:
This Tuning Menu will activated by default when entering the Tuning Menu for the first time by pressing the Tuning Menu button. ‘A SET’ indicates the Auto Setup profile and ‘C SET’ indicates the Custom Setup profile.

This setup profile allows access to:

  • SEN (Sensitivity)
  • FF (Force Feedback)
  • NDP (Natural Damper)
  • SHO (Shock / Vibration Strength)
  • MPS (Multi Position Switch Function)
  • BRF (Brake Force)

SHO, MPS, and BRF parameters are only available when supporting products are connected. See (5.6.12) and (5.6.13) on page 22 as well as (5.6.15) on page 23 for detailed information.
These tuning parameters have slightly adjusted ranges to ensure the best possible standard tuning experience apart from SHO, MPS, and BRF.

Cycle Standard and Advanced Tuning Menu:
Pressing and hold the Tuning Menu button on your steering wheel for 4 seconds in order to switch between Standard and Advanced Tuning Menu as illustrated below. Press and hold for an additional 6 seconds in order to reset the Custom Setup profiles to the default values. Resetting the Tuning Menu will activate the Standard Tuning Menu.

FANATEC-CSL-TC-Table-Clamp-FIG- (24)

Advanced Tuning Menu:
‘A SET’ indicates the Auto Setup profile and ‘1 SET’ to ‘5 SET’ indicates the Custom Setup profiles.
These profiles allow full access to all tuning parameters without limitation.

SEN (SENSITIVITY)

  • Standard SEN range: 180 … 1080 AUTO SEN default: AUTO
  • Advanced SEN range: 90 … 2520 AUTO SEN default: AUTO

Sensitivity defines the degrees of rotation. If SEN is set to 90 the steering wheel can only be turned 90° (45° left and 45° right from the calibrated centre position). If SEN is set to 2520 the steering wheel can be turned 2520° (1260° left and 1260° right from the calibrated centre position). If SEN is set to AUTO, the sensitivity is controlled by the PC driver or directly by the game (if it supports the feature).

FF (FORCE FEEDBACK)

  • Standard FF range: 005 … 100 FF default: 100
  • Advanced FF range: OFF 001 … 100 FF default: 100

Force Feedback defines the maximum strength of the motor when force feedback effects from software / games are sent to the CSL DD. If FF is set to OFF, there will be no force feedback effect executed by the CSL DD motor. If FF is set to 001, the motor will execute only 1% of the maximum motor power. If FF is set to 100, the motor will execute 100% of the maximum motor power. The final torque output is influenced by several factors, including the force feedback modifiers (see below), and the in-game settings. For stronger feedback, it is better to run a higher ‘FF’ value in the Tuning Menu rather than turning up the in-game strength value (to avoid clipping).

FFS (FORCE FEEDBACK SCALING)

  • FFS range: LIN (Linear) / PEA (Peak) FFS default: PEA

FF Scaling reduces maximum FFB output by a small amount in order to guarantee a consistent output between peaks and holding forces as well as improved general linearity between game output and torque output. LIN activates this setting and PEA deactivates this setting.

PSU FFS Range Max. Torque
 

Standard PSU

LIN 4 Nm
PEA 5 Nm
 

Boost Kit 180 PSU

LIN 6 Nm
PEA 8 Nm

NDP (NATURAL DAMPER)

  • Standard NDP range: 25 … 100 NDP default: 50
  • Advanced NDP range: OFF 01 … 100 NDP default: 50

Natural Damper provides additional damping which can be adjusted from OFF to 100. 100 will have the strongest damping effect which reacts to the acceleration and angle of your steering. If turned OFF, your steering will have no additional damping, making it easier to turn the steering wheel.

Natural Damper is useful for controlling the speed of the wheel during oversteer, and also helps to reduce wheel oscillation. Oscillation is typically caused by latency in the feedback loop, and is more apparent in racing games that are not optimised for high-torque motors. The default value of 50 provides a balance between steering responsiveness and oscillation mitigation.

NFR (NATURAL FRICTION)

  • NFR range: OFF 001 … 100 NFR default: OFF

Natural Friction is used to simulate the mechanical feel of steering components. A higher setting results in more resistance when rotating the steering wheel. This can enhance the feeling of driving vehicles without power steering, or with very wide tyres. This setting may also help prevent oscillation.

NIN (NATURAL INERTIA)

  • NIN range: OFF 001 … 100 NIN default: OFF

Natural Inertia simulates additional steering weight. This can be particularly useful when using lighter steering wheels such as steering wheels from our CSL Elite / CSL range. Additionally, the Natural Friction setting is smoothed on direction changes.

INT (FFB INTERPOLATION)

  • INT range: OFF 01 … 20 INT default: 11

FFB Interpolation smooths and interpolates FFB by filtering game output without FFB detail loss. OFF = unfiltered, 01 = lowest filter, and 20 = highest filter.

FEI (FORCE EFFECT INTENSITY)

  • FEI range: 000 … 100 FEI default: 100

Force Effect Intensity adjusts the overall intensity and smoothness of force effects: 000 is the smoothest. 100 is the sharpest and most direct. Tuning this parameter can refine harsh or spiky force feedback signals in some games.

FORCE / SPRING / DAMPER EFFECT

  • FOR range: OFF 010 … 120 FOR default: 100
  • SPR range: OFF 010 … 120 SPR default: 100
  • DPR range: OFF 010 … 120 DPR default: 100

These FFB modifiers allow you to change the FFB signals of a game (only applicable if games support these effects). Theoretically, there are three signal types which a game can send. Force (forces the steering wheel in a specific direction). Spring (pulls the steering wheel towards the dynamic centre). Damper (creates friction)

NOTE: Not every game uses all three types of effects and some games use only one type to create all three effects.

IMPORTANT: If Spring is adjusted to low values or OFF, the wheel base will not be able to move the attached steering wheel to the correct centre position after a centre calibration is performed. Only adjust these values higher than 100% if the FFB effects are not strong enough and weaker in comparison to other games. Raising one or more of these values may result in higher load on the motor and increase heat generation.

BLI (BRAKE LEVEL INDICATOR)

  • BLI range: 001 … 100 OFF BLI default: OFF

Values from 001 to 100 sets the activation point for brake pedal vibration (only available when ClubSport Pedals V3 / V3i is connected). This feature works independently and therefore can be used with any game. It is useful for learning threshold braking technique. OFF allows pedal vibration to be controlled by a game directly (if supported).

SHO (SHOCK / VIBRATION STRENGTH)

  • SHO range: OFF 010 … 100 SHO default: 100

The strength of the shock / vibration inside a Fanatec steering wheel and pedal set which features vibration motors can be adjusted from 100% to 0%.
These vibration motors can be used by a game directly if supported.

MPS (MULTI POSITION SWITCH FUNCTION)

  • MPS: AUTO; ENC; CONST; PULSE MPS default: AUTO

AUTO (Game specific): The game can decide which mode is appropriate.

ENC (Encoder): The MPS simulates two buttons, one when rotating the MPS left and one when rotating the MPS right.

CONST (Constant): The MPS outputs a constant button signal for each position.

PULSE: The MPS outputs a specific button signal for each position which is only sent as a single pulse when you rotate the switch.

NOTE: Only available if you are using a Fanatec steering wheel featuring multi position switches such as the ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2.5. Additionally this feature must be supported by the game to function.

AP (ANALOGUE PADDLES)

  • AP: CbP; CH; bt; AnA AP default: CbP

CbP(Clutch Bite Point): This feature can be used in any game with an analogue clutch axis. Both left and right analogue paddles work in parallel; the primary paddle is determined by which is pressed further.

Clutch bite point configuration steps
Simplified Advanced
  Press both clutch paddles simultaneously to a least 5% to activate, move both paddles up to 100%.

•  Release one paddle whilst keeping the other fully pressed. The dis- play will now show the percentage value of the released paddle while the car’s clutch is still fully pressed.

•  Set the released paddle to the percentage where your car’s clutch starts to bite (recommended to evaluate by conducting multiple launch starts).

•  As soon as the virtual start lights turn green, completely release one of the fully pressed paddles and the clutch will immediately be at the bite point.

•  Release the second paddle once a suitable speed is reached for the optimum launch.

•  Completely press and hold one clutch paddle.

•  Press the FunkySwitchTM D-pad stick down. “100” will be shown on the display. Rotate the FunkySwitchTM in order to change the

percentage of the bite point as desired to suit your car (recommended to evaluate by conducting multiple launch starts).

•  Release the paddles to set and store the desired value. You can have an individually stored value for each Tuning Menu slot S_1 … S_5.

•  At race start, press both paddles again to activate the bite point mode, Release one of the paddles and the clutch will immediately be at the bite point.

•  Release the second paddle once a suitable speed is reached for the optimum launch.

CH(Clutch / Handbrake): Left paddle = Clutch. Right paddle = Handbrake.

bt(Brake / Throttle): Left paddle = Brake. Right paddle = Throttle.

AnA(Mappable Axes): Paddles can be mapped as two additional axes. This may be shared with the analogue joystick on some steering wheels.

NOTE: Only available if you are using a Fanatec steering wheel or add-on shifter paddles featuring analogue paddles which do not have a dedicated hardware switch for different analogue paddle modes.

  • CSP V3 / V3i: Lo 001 … 100 Hi BRF default: 050
  • CSL E P LCK / CSL P LCK: 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. OFF requires the least amount of brake pressure, 100 requires the most amount of brake pressure.

    This warranty does not cover consumables (such as batteries) or products sold and clearly marked “AS IS” or with faults. Endor may void this warranty if
    1. Endor reasonably believes that the product has been used in a manner that violates the terms of a separate end user agreement for firmware, system software or game software;
    2. the product is used with non-licensed/non-approved peripherals. Consumer assume all risks and liabilities associated with use of third-party products.

This warranty is provided to you in lieu of all other express or implied warranties. This includes warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose for this product, which Endor disclaims under these terms. However, if applicable law requires any of these warranties, then they are limited in duration to the warranty period.

Except as expressly stated above, Endor excludes all liability for loss of data, loss of profit, or any loss or damage suffered by you or any third party, whether those damages are direct, indirect, consequential, special, or incidental and however arising under any theory of law, as a result of using this product. Some states or provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitations of consequential or incidental damages, so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights which vary from state to state or province to province. The warranty offered by Endor on this product is the same whether or not you register your product.

This warranty does not apply to any system software / firmware that is pre-installed in the purchased product, or is subsequently provided via update or upgrade releases. In case of issues apparently related to system software / firmware as well as any other product related issues, Endor recommends checking the FAQ database at fanatec.com/support/faq to see if your problem can be solved there.
