Product Installation
Note: Due to the design of the window switch, external relays or solenoid drivers are required. Each
output channel has a maximum current of 2 Amps.
Red: 12V Keyed Power- Connected to the arming switch.
Black: Battery Ground- Grounded to the battery’s negative (-) terminal.
Grey: Tach Signal- Connect to the ground side of the coil in a coil-on-plug or waste spark ignition system. If using a distributor, this will need to be connected to the Tach Output on your ignition box.
White: TPS or WOT Switch- Connect to the signal wire on the TPS sensor. On a carb application, this
will connect to the WOT switch.
Blue: Stage 1 Control Output- Connect to the ground side of your relay or solenoid driver for Stage 1.
Green: Stage 1 Timing Retard Output- Connect to the +12V activation wire for your timing retard.
Orange: Stage 2 Control Output- Connect to the ground side of your relay or solenoid driver for
Stage 2.
Yellow: Stage 2 Timing Retard Output- Connect to the +12V activation wire for your 2nd Stage timing
retard.
The window switch is designed to be mounted inside the cabin of the vehicle.
For Tach and TPS signal locations, see the information sheet attached to this installation guide.

Main Screen
This is the main screen of the window switch. If the window switch is set to activate in TPS and RPM, it will show
a ‘R’ for RPM and a ‘T’ for throttle percentage. If it’s in
TPS only, it will only show ‘T’ for throttle percentage. If it’s
in RPM only mode, it will show ‘R’ for RPM. In TPS--RPM
mode, it will show both throttle percentage and RPM.
Step 1: Entering Programming Mode
To enter programming mode, hold down all 3 buttons on
the controller. The ‘Stage’ and ‘Shift’ lights will begin to
flash, and the screen will say ‘Entering Programming’.
Step 2: Menu > Config
The first menu option is ‘Config’. Pressing ‘Select’ on this
menu will take you into the Configuration Menu. Inside
this menu is the TPS, RPM, or TPS--RPM mode setting.
Use the ‘+ and ‘-’ buttons to navigate the menu. Once you
find the setting you want to use, press ‘Select’ to save it.
Step 2A: Menu > Config > Set Mode > TPS
Selecting ‘TPS’ in this menu will make the nitrous activate
when only the TPS voltage or WOT switch has been activated. In this mode, the WinMax will act only as a WOT
switch.
**Using this setting will result in the nitrous being activated when at wide open throttle, regardless of the RPM**

Step 2C: Menu > Config > Set Mode > RPM--TPS
Selecting ‘RPM--TPS’ in this menu will make the nitrous
activate when both the TPS and RPM conditions have
been met. This is the most common setting.
*This is the recommended setting*
