SIMAGIC P700 Setup Guide: Brake Calibration, Two or Three Pedals and Cockpit Mounting

The SIMAGIC P700 is a modular pedal platform for drivers who want adjustable braking without starting with the most expensive hardware. Its 150 kg load cell, Hall-effect travel sensing and 35 brake settings provide several ways to match the pedals to the rig. The important decision is not simply how hard the brake can become. It is how the pedal movement, seating position and software calibration work together. This guide builds that relationship step by step, from a two-pedal installation to a manual-car setup.

The two-pedal configuration contains throttle and brake and suits cars shifted with steering-wheel paddles. A three-pedal configuration adds the clutch for manual-car driving and starts that use a separate clutch pedal. The SIMAGIC C-P700 is also available as an expansion for an existing set. Check the selected product variant before ordering: a clutch-only listing is an accessory, not a complete pedal set. Starting with two pedals can leave more freedom to position the brake for left-foot braking.

Understand force sensing and pedal travel

The P700 uses a load cell for braking force and Hall-effect sensing for pedal movement. SIMAGIC describes the travel-based response as useful with softer settings and floor installations. Pressure-based operation becomes more practical when the pedal base and seat stay firmly in place. The 150 kg figure is the load-cell rating, not an instruction to apply that force with your foot. Calibrate a repeatable working range that you can reach without lifting your hips or pushing the seat backwards.

For a cockpit installation, compare the P700 mounting drawing with the actual pedal deck and leave access to the connectors. Test that the deck does not lift under braking. On the floor, check grip on the actual surface and secure the chair as well as the pedals. The optional SIMAGIC P700 Wall Mount Kit provides a dedicated wall-supported installation option. Follow its intended arrangement; do not treat it as a generic bracket for an unrelated product. A stiffer brake cannot compensate for a moving chair.
