See also <a href=\"https:\/\/simucube.com\/docs\/activepedal\/specifications\/#activepedal-tuner-compatible-passive-pedals\">Specifications<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"question\">\n<summary>What pedals are compatible <em>with<\/em> adapter?<\/summary>\n<p>Simucube offers adapters for the most used passive pedals in the market. See the list from <a href=\"https:\/\/simucube.com\/docs\/activepedal\/specifications\/#activepedal-tuner-compatible-passive-pedals\">Specifications<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"question\">\n<summary>Does ActivePedal require also the Simucube BasePlate item?<\/summary>\n<p>No. Simucube BasePlate is designed to make installation easier, enhance ergonomics wiht foot rest, and add adjustability. For list of required items, see <a href=\"https:\/\/simucube.com\/docs\/activepedal\/items-needed\">Items needed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"question\">\n<summary>Does Simucube BasePlate accommodate other pedals?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes, Heusinkveld Sprint and Ultimate series are out-of-the-box compatible. Also many others could be installed with some third party adapter or DIY tooling.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"question\">\n<summary>What is the ideal ActivePedal setup for smooth connectivity and use?<\/summary>\n<p>See our recommendations from <a href=\"https:\/\/simucube.com\/docs\/activepedal\/items-needed\">Items needed<\/a> and consequent installation pages.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<h2 id=\"after-you-have-it\">After you have it<a class=\"headerlink\" href=\"#after-you-have-it\" title=\"Permanent link\">\u00b6<\/a><\/h2>\n<details class=\"question\">\n<summary>Shall I power off ActivePedal when not using it?<\/summary>\n<p>ActivePedal may be left powered on for unlimited amount of time without side effects. However it is a good practive to power them off to reduce idle power consumption, and for maximial safety (especially if untrailed person, children or pets have access to them).<\/p>\n<p>Tip: to eliminate the need to use the push-button behind the ActivePedal for power on\/off, one may connect power adapter to AC extension cord with a switch or to remote controllable AC switch. This way multiple pedals may be switched on\/off simulatenously in more ergonomical way.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"question\">\n<summary>Is it normal that resistance\/friction of pedal reduces after the initial use?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. Lead screw grease will settle during initial usage and this feels like friction reduction while device is unpowered. <\/p>\n<p>Worth noting that while the device is powered on, the sensation shall not change noticeably over use because pedal&#8217;s sensor based active control will compensate such changes.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th>File<\/th>\n<td>ActivePedal\/FAQ.html<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Slug<\/th>\n<td>faq<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Parent<\/th>\n<td>docs\/activepedal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Parent ID<\/th>\n<td>45968<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you buy\u00b6 Which rigs are compatible with ActivePedal?
