New high-tech accessory for FFS Roll-Over Valves

[MTN_VIPER]

Introducing the latest innovation from Four Stroke Solutions LLC!
The Roll-Over Valve Control Module or ROVCM!
The ROVCM is engineered specifically for Four Stroke Solutions LLC Gen 3 Roll-Over Valve kits. Custom engineered and made for controlling roll-over valves, the ROVCM contains a micro-controller and uses pulse width modulation technology to control the roll-over valve. Pulse width modulation is very precise and the output from ROVCM is consistent under a wide range of temperature/battery conditions!

Up to this point Roll-Over shut-off valves have been controlled by direct battery voltage. Battery voltage can vary with ambient temperature, battery age and battery rating. The ROVCM takes roll-over valve performance to the next level! By commanding the shut-off valve to close faster/stronger, reduced current draw once the valve is closed, and offering a built in battery voltage monitoring system.

Shut-off valves are an electro-mechanical device and have different power requirements, depending on if the valve is closing or remaining in a closed state. By using pulse width modulation control the ROVCM is able to vary its output to valve to provide the fastest possible valve closure time, while at the same time reducing current draw by approximately one third once the valve is closed!

The ROVCM also has battery voltage monitoring/run down protection. The ROVCM has an internal timer and monitors battery input voltage. The ROVCM is designed to help prevent an accidental battery discharge, from leaving the Roll-Over Valve turned on by mistake. When the Roll-Over Valve is turned on, an internal timer inside the ROVCM starts. After the Roll-Over Valve has been on for approximately two hours, the ROVCM will start monitoring the battery voltage to the unit. If the battery voltage drops to approximately 12.1 volts, the ROVCM will shut down the Roll-Over Valve to help prevent further battery drain!

The Four Stroke Solutions LLC ROVCM is ideal for,
Riders who sled in extreme conditions or “get ejected” from the sled at a rapid rate!
Snowmobilers who ride in extreme cold conditions!
Sleds with light weight smaller batteries!
Anyone who might forget to turn off the ignition key at the end of the day with tether cord pulled!

The ROVCM is engineered specifically for Four Stroke Solutions LLC Gen 3 Roll-Over Valve kits.

Any route to upgrade a Gen 1 system??

Any route to upgrade a Gen 1 system??

Yes there is!
For the earlier non-plug/play (Gen 1) and plug/play (Gen 2) units, I'm running a promo special for a Gen 3 with ROVCM conversion kit.
The conversion kit includes an Electronic Roll-Over Valve Control Module (ROVCM), tether switch, and a Gen 3 main ROV wiring harness. The kit converts the Gen 1 and 2 units into a Gen 3 so that the ROVCM can be connected to the ROV harness. Gen 1 kits are also converted to plug and play.

Great.
Lets get mine upgraded!

Also looks like the valve itself has changed a little bit from the one you sent me early on?

The outlet fitting on mine is VERY SHORT compared to what I see in your picture now!

MINE.

i just bought a rov from oft with their teather switch. will the upgrade work on this kit from oft?

MINE.

It uses the same valves, the one in the top pic is for Apexes and S/C Phazers. These sleds have 3/4" id breather hoses which require the resized valve for proper fitment to the larger hose.
Stock and boosted Nytros along with stock and turbo Phazers use a 5/8" (OEM dia) breather hose and use the standard valve in the bottom pic.
RX-1 sleds also use the 3/4" hose.
Christopher, you may want to measure the outlet on your TS fabrications oil tank to see if it's 5/8" or 3/4", either way I got'cha covered.

charger0926,
At this time the ROVCM only works with the Four Stroke Solutions Gen 3 unit.
When we were designing/engineering the circuit board, I had him leave some extra room for possible other applications. It would require some changes to the circuit board and a seperate board build though.

He built it to stock OEM specs.
So all the original hoses hook right up to it.

Yes your original valve will connect right up then
When replacing the OEM hose with a longer hose, I like to recommend 5/8" emisions/fuel hose. Heater hose will work, however some types of heater hose can swell up and get "rubbery" (for lack of a better term!) when exposed to motor oil. Emissions hose is resistant to fuel/oil vapors and tends to hold it's size better, just like the OEM Yamaha hose will.
You can usually find 5/8" emissions/fuel hose at larger auto parts stores.

Now in this little town of mine.
Point me at some online where I can buy a few feet of it.

Yeah on-line can be a tough one as most places want a minimum order. The hose is commonly used as a fuel tank vent hose for automotive and marine applications.
Lower pressure hose works the best. The higher pressure hoses tend to be thicker walled and to stiff to bend around the tight quarters found under the hood of a sled.
I've had good luck finding it at my local NAPA store, they have it bulk and sell it by the foot.
I found hose here on-line, although I personally haven't tried their hose yet.http://www.overtons.com/modperl/pro...el_Feed/Vent_Hose_5/8_Fuel_Vent_Hose_per_foot

I installed the new upgrade kit on my rollover valve on this new custom oil tank. Installation of the upgrade was a SNAP and as far as I can tell its working perfectly.

Ran it down the side, used a joiner and added a few more inches of straight oil resistent hose

And added a small K&N Breather at the bottom to control oil misting.

Don't think that K&N filter is a good idea. If it freezes up in the pow you may risk oil starvation. Not sure but just a thought.

 

[MTN_VIPER]

DooTraxx raises a good point about the filter. It's something to keep an eye on. What you want to avoid is having ice/snow build up around it, or the filter getting wet and possibly freezing after the sled sits outside overnight.

If it becomes an issue, it would be easy to extend the hose so that it terminates inside the frame area and leave the end of the hose open. Then you could still keep your basic configuration which looks good.

We now offer ROVCMs programmed for both lead/acid and light weight Lithium batteries.
The ROVCM is also reprogrammable, so we can reprogram your existing ROVCM to suit your current battery type!

So the question is, after a hard day in the powder do YOU find that your right side is FULL of powder?

At least in my sled I have NEVER seen that to be the case.
Just TOO MUCH HEAT in there to allow the snow to collect.

The new larger Oil Tank I installed and the Supercharger are adding a LOT more heat to that airspace.

Nevertheless I WILL keep an eye on it just to be sure and report back.

Guess that Means I will be sending mine back in at some point to have it re-zapped for the lithium battery I am using!

New for 2012-13 season FFS ROV kits will feature genuine OEM Arctic Cat tether switch

New for the 2012-13 season all Four Stroke Solutions ROV kits will feature genuine OEM Arctic Cat tether switches!
I've been using the Cat tether on the M1100T roll-over valve kits and decided to expand their usage to the Yamaha line-up as well.

The OEM Cat tether has a very low profile underneeth the cowling and allows for more flexability in choosing a location for the tether switch.
Additionally OEM Cat tether switches have an inner seal, to seal out moisture when the tether is pulled. The OEM Arctic Cat switch also uses a brass plunger rod for proven OEM durability.
Less expensive aftermarket plug type tether switches do not have this seal and use a plastic plunger rod.
Just like the previous Gen 3 ROV kit, the Cat tethered ROV kits can be used with or without the high performance ROVCMhttp://fourstrokesolutionsllc.webs.com/highperformancerovcm.htm

In the tether switch pics below, the OEM Arctic Cat part is on the left. While the less expensive aftermarket unit is on the right.

Guys,

Due to high demand (Thank you everyone!, the ROVCM control modules are on back order until after the first week of December. I'm waiting for the electronics manufacturer that custom builds our circuit boards. Once I have the electronic boards, we will be able to assemble the cases and down load the programming.
The standard ROV kit will still be avilable and I make the wiring harness the same for both versions. This allows the standard kits to be plug/play upgradable, once I have the ROVCMs back in stock again!

Thank You
Bill
