For most GPS/GNSS Only customers GPS/GNSS alone will provide excellent results with accuracy comparable to a well calibrated wheel sensor. However, like any GPS/GNSS system, accuracy can be degraded when operating in heavily built-up areas or under dense forest cover.

Page 20: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Display Resolution The distance counters normally have a resolution of ten metres. If you require a higher level of accuracy this can be increased to one metre. To change this select Settings > Advanced > Resolution. Sleep Timer The device will automatically enters a low power sleep mode after five minutes of inactivity. - Page 21 Common Problems: The fuel level changes when I turn my engine on and off The output signal from some fuel senders is proportional to the vehicle’s battery voltage. When the engine is running this voltage is boosted by the alternator I’m using a wheel sensor and the distance measurements are not and this can cause changes in the fuel reading.
- Page 22 Error Messages: ‘Error: Invalid Fuel Signal. Refer to user’s manual.’— The fuel sender is not producing a monotonic (doesn’t move in one direction) output signal during calibration. ‘Error: No pulses detected’— No pulses are being detected from the wheel speed sensor during calibration. Check your connections and the instructions To solve the problem: supplied with the sensor.
