Arc Nitrous Relay Wiring

[Guest]

Can anyone tell me how to wire this? I'm running a cheater plate with a W.O.T micro switch and a fuel pressure switch.

Sure, we can help.

First I assume that this is a time delay relay right? Can you tell me what the terminals on the ARC delay are labeled?

[Guest]

Yes, it's the time delay relay. I was looking for someone who is using or has used this. I'm pretty sure I know how to wire everything just wanted to make sure.

J+
COIL - Stage Activation switch
GRN
12V
TO Stage Solenoid

Sorry never used that brand... I'd just be speculating looking at those terminal names without looking at the relay itself. This is what I think just guessing at it:

J+ 12 v + ?? sounds like it may be the other side of the contacts that the timer controls

COIL - Stage Activation switch This sounds like what activates/starts the timer

GRN - Should be chassis ground

12V - 12v postive

TO Stage Solenoid to nitrous solenoid

Don't know if this is any help or not, I've never seen one with those labels like that.

I have an ARC relay on my Nova. Here is how I have mine wired to trigger the nitrous solenoids:

Terminal Necessary Wire
---------- --------------------
+12V 12V from Battery
GND J Ground
Coil Trigger wire from micro switch
N.O. Solenoids + wire

The instructions on these things suck, but I finally figured it out. They don't bother to tell you that you have to dial in some delay before it'll work. With all the DIP switches off, it won't work. You must run at least a tenth of a second delay since that's the smallest amount you can dial in. In order to run no delay, I've had to wire in a normal relay.
