The pedals contained in the package will dier depending on
the conguration chosen upon purchase.
The brake pedal can be congured according to your driving
style by mounting internal modules that modify the pedal
feedback.
The pedals are included with the standard adjustable base for
installation on the oor or on simulation platforms.
Wave S.r.l. also provides the suspended pedal set support for
traditional seats. The accessory is sold separately and the in-
stallation instructions are given in the nal chapters of this user
manual.

Product Description
WAVE IMPETUS pedal set
3-pedal set for virtual simulation made entirely of anodised
aluminium for maximum movement accuracy, long service life
and a high level of reliability.
The pedal set features the complete conguration of the device
with accelerator, brake and clutch.
WAVE FORCE pedal set
2-pedal set for virtual simulation for driving with accelerator
and brake only.

Installation
Base assembly
The pedals must be installed on a solid support base that does
not compromise the ergonomic characteristics and accuracy of
the product.
The base supplied features guides used to position the pedals
according to a set or customised distance according to cus-
tomer comfort. It is also possible to adjust the inclination of the
base to optimise the quality of the guide.
The presence of the heel backing plate increases the comfort
during intense simulations, as it helps the foot maintaining a
correct position during the performance.
Follow the instructions shown in the gure to mount the sup-
plied base.
Wave S.r.l. oers the customer additional adjustable sup-
ports, designed and built for an increasingly real experience.

Assembly of the additional heel pad support
An additional support for assembly on the heel pad is provided
for driving in greater comfort. It improves the position of the
foot by bringing it further forward.
Follow the instructions shown in the gure to mount the
additional support. Put it in place using the holes at the same
height.

Pedal assembly
Mount the pedals using the screws provided.
The base features 2 types of guides to install the pedals. The
rst type, featuring multiple slots, ensures optimal positioning
of the pedals according to experience and the tests on the
pedal set conducted by Wave S.r.l .; the second type, featuring
a single pair of slots, allows the user to position the pedals as
needed.
!The pedals must be parallel to the leg during use. Do not
install the pedals if they are tilted or in any manner that does
not observe the above rule.
Follow the instructions shown in the gure to adjust the incli-
nation of the base. The position must be at the same height in
both side supports.

Customised base
The picture shows the drilling spaces for the installation of the
pedals, in the event that the user wants to create a personal-
ised support base. Maximum product customisation freedom
allows the user to space out the pedals as needed for personal
comfort and ergonomics.

• Click on Next (b) to go to the next screen.
• Take your seat in the simulator and place your feet on the
respective pedals.
• Without pressing the pedals, click on Next (c) to go to the
next screen and skip the calibration for z-axis.
Accelerator
The rst axis to be calibrated is the one for the accelerator
(x-rotation):
The blue bar (d) on the screen reacts to movement when you
press the pedal.
• Press the accelerator pedal all the way, using its entire
stroke, to calibrate the maximum point of pedal travel.
• Release the accelerator pedal to calibrate the minimum
point of travel.
• Without pressing the pedals, click on Next (e) to go to the
next screen.

15 - EN
Brake
The second axis to be calibrated is the one for the brake
(y-rotation):
!Unlike the other pedals, the brake cannot be calibrated on
its point of maximum travel. Calibration is at the discretion of
the customer’s sensitivity and driving style.
A more sensitive calibration can be made by ticking View raw
data (f) and then on Driving software.
• Release the brake pedal and click on Next (g) to go to the
next screen.
Clutch (WAVE IMPETUS set with 3 pedals)
The third axis is to be calibrated is the one for the clutch (z-rota-
tion).

Pedal adjustment
The pedals feature a variety of adjustments that allow the cus-
tomer to nd the right driving position.
Accelerator pedal adjustment
1The pedal can be adjusted in 2 positions. +/-10° variation
of the static position of the pedal.
2“Fine” adjustment: 12.5° micrometric setting of the pedal
position through the threaded strut.
3The operating force applied on the accelerator can be
adjusted according to 7 dierent values, from the softest
to the hardest as shown in the picture by the direction of
the arrow.

Brake pedal adjustment
1Setting the brake with the kit for alternate conguration.
• Disconnect the brake connector from the interface card.
• Disconnect the brake cylinder from the pedal.
• Open the rear cover.
• Remove the rod and spring unit from the cylinder.
The Conguration kit is composed by a red plastic spacer
which, if installed within the group of springs, modies the
feedback and hardness of the brake pedal.
The drawing shows the dierent possible congurations and
an exploded diagram of the assembly. The red spacer may be
installed:
• Instead of the central black buckle;
• Instead of the spring, by removing also the steel buckle and
one washer;
!The assembly of the components must not exceed the hei-
ght of the central stem.
• Close the rear cover placing the load cell cable properly in
the slot.
