Sim Seats iRacing Pro Package

Owner’s Manual

Thank you for purchasing the iRacing Pro package from Sim Seats! Please use the following

guide to get started.

Monitor st and setup:

Step 1: Check package contents to make sure all parts are enclosed:

Single monitor stand:

- Monitor stand legs (2)

- Monitor stand cross bar

- Single monitor mount

- Mounting hardware

Triple monitor stand:

- Monitor stand legs (2)

- Monitor stand cross bar

- Triple monitor mount assembly

- Side monitor mounting plates (2)

- Side monitor mount clamps (2)

- Mounting hardware

Step 2: Slide the cross bar into the left and right monitor stand legs. The long end of the
stand goes towards the driver to support angled triple monitor setups. Level the cross bar
and tighten the adjusting bolts

Step 3: Mount the single monitor mount or triple monitor mount assembly to the cross bar.

Step 4: Install the center monitor with the enclosed hardware. Assembly is complete for

single monitor mounts.

Step 5: Triple monitor mounts - Make your height adjustments before installing the side
monitors. This will make life slightly easier due to the lesser weight. Install the left and
right monitor mounting plates to your left and right monitors .

Note: The VESA mounts are offset mounted. Spin the mount 180 degrees to provide
approximately ½” of up/down adjustment of the monitor. Typically the mounts should be
installed with the bolt offset down, so that the monitor mounts slightly higher to
accommodate sag from large/heavy monitors.

Swing the monitor mount arms into their approximate final locations (this is important to
prevent the monitor stand from tipping backwards once the side monitors are installed).
Slide the monitor mounting plate with the monitor installed through the swing arm, install
the rear clamp, and tighten the rear clamp bolt. Repeat this for the other side.

Step 6: Final adjustments - The center monitor is fixed so no adjustment will be required

other than overall height adjustment. Side monitors, on the other hand, have a large

amount of adjustment. The arms will articulate to provide the appropriate angle and some

distance from center monitor adjustment. The side monitor plates allow for left to right, up

and down, and rotational adjustment. This will require some tweaking to get each monitor

positioned seamlessly. Once the positioning is complete, tighten all hardware.

SR-X Driving Simulator Setup:

Refer to the SR-X owner’s manual for the SR-X chassis setup. Mount the Logitech pedals,

wheel, and TH8 shifter. Slide the SR-X into position in between the monitor mount legs and

make adjustments to monitor height and angle as needed.

Keyboard Tray Setup :

Step 1: Install the mounting bracket to the left
side steering wheel upright using the u-bolt, u­bolt plate, and nuts. Note: This keyboard tray will

only mount on the “driver’s side”. Please contact us if
you need one for the “passenger” side.

Step 2: Align the bracket so that it is straight and
tighten the u-bolt nuts.

Step 3: Install the swing arm to the bracket.
Tighten the bottom bolt.

Step 4: Install the keyboard tray to the swing arm.
Tighten the top bolt.

Step 5: Swivel the tray as needed. Install the
Logitech wireless keyboard.

Con neX™ Sp eaker Mo unts :

The ConneX speaker mounts are a set of universal speaker mounts that will support up to

5.1 sound systems. The left and right speaker mounts connect to the far left and right holes

in the monitor mount and the rear speaker mount clamps to the seat. Note: A wire control

kit is ideal for keeping the wires out of the way. We recommend placing the center channel

above the center monitor or below the monitor between the center monitors vertical

support posts.

Con neX™ But ton Box Mount:

Button boxes have entered the market as a

consolidated solution to in-game keyboard functions.

This iRacing package comes with the Patriot Box™ by

Derek Speare Designs, only available through Sim

Seats.

The button box mount simply bolts directly to the

wheel deck. Use a washer between the mounting

surface and the button box mount to minimize paint

damage. It can be doubled up with any of the other ConneX accessories (a longer bolt may

be required). The Patriot Box™ is mounted with sticky back Velcro (included).

Computer Ha rdware Setup :

Remove the computer from its packaging and place (ideally) to the right of the simulator to

begin wiring setup. Start with wiring the monitor power cables and DVI cable s. Depending

on the video card, one or two of the monitors may need special mini -displayport to DVI

adaptors. These are included if applicable. It is a good idea now to start working on wire

management for the monitors and speakers along the Sim Seats t riple monitor mount.

After the monitors are powered and plugged in, place the Logitech sub-woofer to the far

right corner of the setup area and plug in the front channels and into the computer. Note:

There may be two sound cards with your new computer. The upgraded sound card is usually

the lower card. When in doubt, if it doesn’t work, try the other! Install the rear speaker

mounts on the seat and run the wires to the sub-woofer.

Run power and USB plugs for the Logitech wheel and pedals. Run the USB plug for the TH8

shifter and button box.

Power up the PC and move on to the software setup process.

Computer Software S etup :

After the PC has booted up, the center monitor may be the only screen showing Windows.

This will require setup to achieve the triple screen desktop display. Open the Catalyst

Control Center and click “Create Eyefinity Dispay Group”. From here follow the steps to
