SMART 100 Shift Box - Product Support Page
Last updated 7/25/16


SMART 100 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  • If used with a TCU or other method of controlling the transmission, only one way of controlling the transmission should be powered on at one time to prevent unexpected control of the transmission or damage to the TCU. Use of our TCU package or similar suitable switch/relay must be used to power the TCU or shift box one at a time.
  • Use of diodes, provided with the TCU package, is necessary to prevent damage to TCU.
  • The SMART 100 must be properly configured for your transmission type before operating
  • Use of either the SMART handheld, SMART display, or SMART gauge is required to configure device via the on screen menu.
  • Mount the SMART 100 unit in the vehicle cabin away from heat and moisture, routing wires away from a CDI ignition box or high voltage coil wiring recommended to prevent erratic behavior.

General Usage Instructions:

  • Once installed, this shift box is simple to use. Simply press the up-shift button to advance to the next gear, or press the down-shift button to drop to a lower gear.
  • This shift box will boot up in 3rd gear, unless configured differently by the user, every time as a safety in case the shift box would ever reboot due to a power connection problem.
  • By default the downshift protection RPM is 4500RPM, see the menu below to change this, or disable the downshift protection.
  • To use the RPM up-shift feature, you must set the shift points to your desired RPM in the menu. Set the shift point ~1000RPM sooner than you want the shift to be made to start, and adjust as necessary. This is due to the delay inside the transmission to engage the clutches. You must enable the UP-SHIFTER in the menu to use this feature.
  • The overdrive off feature can be used by up-shifting to overdrive gear. Press and hold the up button until the O/D off LED illuminates and the shift box downshifts to the next lower gear. To turn O/D back on, up-shift to the max gear and press and hold the up button until the O/D off LED turns off and the shift box up-shifts to overdrive gear.
  • The torque converter lock-up feature, when enabled, will illuminate the green LED when the solenoid is turned on
  • Note that the shifts are made at full line pressure, if soft shift is not configured or using pressure control solenoid is not possible, learning the timing on when to make the shift will make using this shift box much more pleasurable on the street.

INTERFACE MENU

 

To enter the menu:

        Downshift to 1st gear then press and hold down shift button until menu opens

Basic tips for easier menu navigation:

        Default values are shown as underlined

        Bold text is word for word what the shift box will display

        You can skip to the next menu option without waiting for the text to be displayed

        Brake switch will toggle some values the opposite direction

        Up button selects or toggles an item/value, down button advances to the next menu item

        Sub menus will return back to the heading of the sub menu just exited

        Main menu items have a double beep; sub menu items have a single beep

        Menu will automatically save settings and exit after ~ 6 seconds of user inactivity

  • Blue wire goes to Shift Solenoid D OR Pressure Control Solenoid

  • White/Black wire is Digital Output #1 (DO1) configured as spare by default

6 pin [input] plug

  • Green wire is Analog Input #1 (AI1) configured as TPS sensor by default

  • White/Green wire is Analog Input #2 (AI2) configured as spare input by default

  • Purple wire is Digital Input #1 (DI1) configured as up shift button by default, pull low to ground

  • White/Purple wire is Digital Input #2 (DI2) configured as down shift button by default, pull low to ground

  • Grey wire is Digital Input #3 (DI3) configured as brake switch by default, pull low to ground

  • White wire is Digital Pulse Input #1 (DPI1) configured as the RPM input / tach signal input



Updating the firmware:

  • The most recent SMART 100 firmware version is 001
  • Please send an e-mail to sales@forcedfour.com to inquire about updating your firmware. Please note this shift box does not support USB firmware updates and will need to be shipped to Forced Four to be updated.
