Terminal Block Inputs
(Reading Left to Right)
Terminal #1 = Power Source 12-16V. Must be connected to battery, no switch in between!
Terminal #2 = Ground for input power.
Terminal #3 = Tachometer signal input from ignition system.
Terminal #4 = 12-16V from Burnout/LineLock switch. Digital display reads, BURN when switch engaged.
Terminal #5 = Use switch with CHEETAH E-SHIFT Valve Bodies only. Use the enclosed Pit Road (momentary)
Switch to send 12-16V to this terminal. Switch only needs to be pushed and released. Digital
display will read P._rd. This function will allow driving thru the pits at a lower RPM. This function
also automatically disengages when: 1. Engine shuts off, 2. LineLock Switch engaged, or 3. Tranz
Brake Switch Engaged. Note, use this terminal only for CHEETAH Electronic Valve Bodies.
Terminal #6 = Apply 12-16V from Tranz Brake Switch, Clutch Switch or LineLock Switch (sticks only).
Digital display will read HOLD when switch engaged.
Terminal Block Outputs/Input
(Reading Right to Left)
Terminal #1 = This is a Input to CHEETAH E-SHIFT Controller and is determined by the equipment you will
control with the CHEETAH E-SHIFT Controller. If your shift light or air shifter requires a positive
voltage 12-16V, you would connect 12-16 volts here. All CHEETAH E-SHIFT Valve Bodies require
12-16V here.If your shift light or air shifter needs a ground, then you will connect a ground here.
Note: We do not recommend the ground method! It is very dangerous!!
Terminal #2 = Output for First Shift will be the same as the Terminal #1 when selected RPM is reached.
Terminal #3 = Output for Second Shift will be the same as Terminal #1 when selected RPM is reached.
Terminal #4 = Output for Third Shift will be the same as Terminal #1 when selected RPM is reached.
Terminal #5 = Output for Fourth Shift will be the same as Terminal #1 when selected RPM is reached.
Standard Transmission Using Shift Lights
Stock and SuperStock rules require that the clutch be depressed for each shift. If you wire your clutch switch to the tranz
brake input your CHEETAH E-SHIFT Controller will be erratic. We suggest you wire your linelock switch output to the
tranz brake input. This way you still will have the timer function when you leave the line and will not be reactivating the hold
function of the controller each time you depress the clutch. Also suggest setting your fall back RPM (Position #5)
4000-4500 RPM with a standard transmission or Lenco. If you do this, your engine between shifts should not fall below
the FallBack RPM. *You must set all Race and Burnout shift points higher than Fall Back even if you do not use the Burnout
mode. If you do not , “NO” will come up on your display. Note: You cannot hook the linelock switch to both the tranz brake
input and the burnout input.
