With the tripmeter OFF; hold down the Zero Total toggle switch and switch the tripmeter ON.
•
The tripmeter will return to it's default 00.00 when the unit is switched Off and On again.
•
Use/Controls:
The tripmeter is switched on by use of the switch on the base of the tripmeter.
•
When the switch is moved from position '0' to the 'I' position the meters digits will light up. N.B. A battery charger is not a
•
suitable power source to test the tripmeter.
The RED button on the remote reset box, when pressed will Zero the INTERMEDIATE DISTANCE readout.
•
The upper toggle switch on the front of the tripmeter marked 'Freeze Total'/'Zero Total' has 3 positions and will normally be
•
in the middle position.
If the switch is pushed UP the TOTAL DISTANCE readout will be FROZEN, when the switch is returned back to the
•
middle position the readout out will continue from the Frozen value. (This facility is useful if the competitor wishes
to correct (Pre-Set) the Total Distance readout to a value that he knows should be displayed at a certain point on the
road. The readout can be unfrozen at this point on the road so that the correct value is displayed from this point on.
This facility is also useful if the Total Distance readout is too high; the readout can be frozen and then the vehicle
driven without the displayed value increasing).
If the switch is momentarily switched DOWN this will Zero the TOTAL Readout.
•
The middle toggle switch on the front of the tripmeter marked 'Count +'/'Count –' allows the tripmeter to count upwards or
•
downwards.
The STEP control knob is to edit the TOTAL DISTANCE readout value. Turning the knob clockwise a click will be felt and the
•
TOTAL DISTANCE readout will start to count either up or down depending on the position of the Count +/Count – toggle
switch. (This facility is useful to align the Total readout value to any given value , say, by the organisers handbook at a certain
point).
The STEP control can be used with the FREEZE switched ON.
•
The STEP control should normally be in the off position that is turned fully anti-clockwise until a click is felt.
•
The three digit 'SPEED/AVERAGE SPEED' readout will display the vehicles current speed to one decmal place in the units to
•
which the tripmeter is calibrated i.e. calibrated in miles, shows mph or calibrated in kilometres shows kph.
The lower toggle switch marked 'SPD/AVG/ST AVG' should be left in the position marked 'SPD' to use the readout as a
•
conventional speedometer.
In the central position marked 'AVG' the readout will illuminate the decimal point and show Average Speed to 1dp.
•
To initial the calculation of Average Speed (above), push the switch to the right marked 'ST AVG' and hold for
•
approximately half a second. This must be done when the meter is first turned on (if the average speed has not
been initialised the display will simply sho - - . -) and can be used any time thereafter when the vehicle is moving or
stationary to recalculate.
For Long Distance events the decimal place can be shifted from 00.00 to 000.0, by the following method:
•
With the tripmeter OFF; hold down the Zero Total toggle switch and switch the tripmeter ON.
•
The tripmeter will return to it's default 00.00 when the unit is switched Off and On again.
•
If the rally organiser has laid out an 'official distance' or you wish to make your tripmeter read the same as the rally organisers
distances then the following instructions apply for calibration:
Enter 100 (C) into the push-wheel calibration digits (N.B. If the official measured distance is greater than 20 miles you would
•
need to enter a much higher figure for C e.g. between 399-999).
With the Total and Intermediate Displays showing Zero drive the total official measured distance i.e. 4.8 (D) miles and note
•
down the readings i.e. 21.98 (T) (this should be identical on both Intermediate and Total Displays)
Now use the following formula:
•
e.g.
(21.98/4.8) x 100
=>4.579 x 100
=>457.91
So enter 458 into your calibration push-wheel switches.
To confirm the figure, re-drive the measured distance and your displays should show the official distance e.g. 4.8 miles.
