Default 2 stage wiring question

OK heres what i got going on, 2 stage system using a window switch and an FJO progressor. My questions is, can i wire up the TPS voltage wire to a WOT switch (since i dont have TPS), or is there another method of doing this?

Your window switch is not needed if you have the FJO progressive unit. It has a built in window swith. Yes THE TPS wire can go to a wot switch. Just put your TPS setting on rising voltage.

well my thing is, is that i want both staged to work independently of one another (i have 100 on the first and 200 on the second) so that i can either spray 100 , 200 or 300 at any given time if that makes sense, wont i need the window switch for that to happen?

Your FJO unit has built in window switches. The problem you are going to run into is having the box do all three option. It is capable of 2 combinations but not three. You could 100 and 200 or 100 or 200. But since it is a progressive box set the 200 for the first stage and set the progressive up for the best traction you can get. Then set the 100stage as #2 and use an over ride button to turn it on if you need it. Also that stage can be ramped in too.

I think that's what he meant by the 100, 200, and 300. He can do the 100 at one time, the 200 another, or both together to get 300

That is not possible with the standard FJO progressive box. You can only 2 options not 3.

See the allows you to controll 2 stages. There is an input wire that will allow you to turn on both stages, turn off both stages, or switch between 2 stages. But you have to choose on of those options. To turn both off would only be used in a Tbrake, or FPSS type of input. It is called the trigger wire. Now this is with standard type of wiring. Sure you can add relays and other switches to the mix, but it will over complicate a clean looking set up.

I don't get it. Isn't that 2 options doing both at the same time to reach the 300 level wanted? Sorry, just confused

No option 1 is 300hp, and option 2 is either 100 or 200, but you have to pick one with the programming.

Ok when you start up the FJO mini controller you can set up 2 ramps. If you do nothing else these 2 ramps will start when you are armed and at full throttle. You can delay ones activation but the programm will start at WOT.
Now comes in the Trigger wire. This is an input wire that allows you to turn on or off a stage with power on this wire.
So you can wire the system to activate both stages with WOT or
Activate either stage at wot.
But normal wiring will not allow you to say, this time I want only stage one only , next time I only want stage 2 only , and next I want them both.
You would have to pic the combintaion you want. stage 1 and stage 2 OR
stage 1 or stage 2.

Again with other relays you can make what you want happen just not the normal wiring with your controller.

Or have your laptop with you and switch the programming.

ok let me try to simplify 2 stages working independently... 1st stage is 100 2nd is an additional 200. i want to be able to turn on 1st stage only, or second stage on only or both at the same time, does that make more sense?

Ok after looking at the diagram you can do this. I am assuming you have 4 noids, and 2 relays.
You will need 2 toggle switches for arming stage 1 and arming stage 2. Set your ramps up. Now your controlling your stages will be your arming switches. The box will still do its thing but you controlling your relays will allow you to turn them on by them selves or together.

Hope this helps.

yeah im actually using 6 noids all together (2 per side on DP setup and 2 for the plate kit) but i get where you're coming from, im assuming you're talking about the wiring diagram in the sticky that you wrote up using the FJO, thats what ive been going off of so far.

Not sure I used a 2 switch arming set up in the diagrams. But if you need any help with the layout once you start installing give a shout and I will help you in any way possible.
I am sure you will love the product one its all hashed out.
Cheers
