Blunik II Plus new installation in another car. You delivered the cable and the sensors ( probe ) We installed the calibration. Problem: "probe fail" appears periodly on the screen. ( approx. all 20 sec.for 2 sec. ) The measuring of the kilometers stops, but after 2 sec. the accumulated kilometers are correct. ( counted in the background ? ) What could be the reason ?? Thanks for your help

The "PROBE FAIL" message on the Blunik Trip II PLUS could appear periodically after installation in another car due to serious sensor anomalies. Possible causes include:

1. Mechanical issues with the wheel sensors – The sensors may not be properly mounted, aligned, or secured.
2. Connection problems – Loose or faulty wiring may cause intermittent disconnections.
3. Incompatibility with the new vehicle – The sensor setup may not match the car’s wheel configuration.
4. Calibration errors – Incorrect calibration settings could lead to inconsistent sensor readings.

The issue should be resolved by checking and fixing any mechanical problems with the sensors immediately.

  • Page 8: Introduction

    The organiser of a regularity rally gives us a route to follow (Road book) and some specifications about speeds, times and distances with which we have to comply (regulation). · 7 · BLUNIK II PLUS INSTRUCTIONS...
  • Page 9 There are many ways of giving us these specifications. We can be set points that we have to pass irrespective of the time. We can be given specific times for passing certain points. We can also be given the average speed that we have to meet for a set distance.

    (in metres) and take our stage times in tenths of a second. Some of the participants in these precision rallies achieve spectacularly tight results. With your Blunik II Plus, you can also manage this. In a badly measured rally it is almost impossible to achieve good results. It all becomes a matter of luck.
  • Page 11: What Does The Blunik Ii Plus Contribute To Regularity

    2. WHAT DOES THE BLUNIK II PLUS CONTRIBUTE TO REGULARITY? BLUNIK II PLUS uses the accumulated experience of many pilots and co- pilots from all types of regularity rallies. It brings together all the necessary functions for precision regularity in a single device.
  • Page 12 The BLUNIK II keypad has only 12 keys. These keys are real “clicking” keys so as to avoid entry errors. EL BLUNIK II PLUS is designed so that you can access the majority of its functions with the minimum presses of the keys.
  • Page 13: Operation Of The Blunik Ii Plus

    BLUNIK II SCREEN-DISPLAY The BLUNIK II screen has 2 lines of 16 characters. At any given point of the rally only the necessary information is displayed on the screen. Too much information is bad information. BLUNIK II POWER SOURCE The BLUNIK II is powered by the automobile battery. It has an internal battery so that the BLUNIK can be turned on outside the vehicle to program it or set the time.

From the end of the Timed sector we find ourselves in a link. During the whole sector, but mainly in the Timed sector we must verify that our Actual total distance is correct.

    We can also verify the averages and distances programmed. Any value that we vary will be taken into account by BLUNIK and recalculated from the beginning of the stage. We exit by pressing The start time registered in the BLUNIK is what determines the calculation of the theoretical distance. By pressing we can verify or reprogram our Parameters.
