How do I set up my Traxx/Matric for Horsepower?
This is a correction factor you can set for an approximate conversion from wheel horsepower to engine horsepower. Factory default is 1.00. The TRAXX/MATRIX is affected by drive train losses, rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag which determine the vehicle’s performance. Manufacturers’ ratings list a higher engine horsepower which is not reduced by these other real-world factor so you may need to increase the wheel horsepower readings to approximately correlate to higher engine horsepower. After storing vehicle weight, it automatically goes to Horsepower Factor. Display flashes previously set value. Press the UP and DOWN buttons until the vehicle correction shows in the display. Press Start button to store the setting.
