- Page 2 Introduction: The ALFA GPS-Pulser is designed to take the place of a conventional wheel mounted sending unit. It plugs directly into the sending unit input of your rally computer or odometer, and provides exactly the same signal as a traditional wheel mounted device. Your computer may then use its standard odometer correction factor to match any course in the usual manner.
- Page 3 Use tape or velcro to secure the ALFA GPS-Pulser to the dashboard so it does not move around the inside of the car. An unsecured sending unit is both a hazzard and less accurate.
- Page 4 LED is flashing. Once it is lit solidly, the time of day is corrected and ready to use. The ALFA GPS-Pulser provides 2000 pulses per statute mile, which results in a factor of 5000.0 on your ALFA odometer. (Other brands may differ) You may calibrate your odometer using its usual method if this does not match course mileage during a rally.
- Page 5 Clock Synchronization: The ALFA GPS-Pulser can sync the clock in any ALFA-Club built after 1999, or ALFA-Pro and ALFA- Elite built after 2012. You will need an ALFA Sync cable configured to for the particular device you’d like to sync, which are available on request. Simply plug the cable into both ends and insure the ALFA GPS-Pulser has a good GPS signal and the status indicator is not flashing.
- Page 6 GPS Issues: The GPS receiver used in your ALFA GPS-Pulser is high quality and extremely accurate. However, GPS works by receiving radio waves from space, so terrain, weather, and orbital geometry all conspire to distort or partially block ideal reception. This is not unique to your ALFA brand product, and is a limitation of the GPS system in general, especially for its use in creating rally mileages.
