Page 10: Changing Units Of Measure
Calibrating from the Software (VSS Only) If you have the DriveRight Vehicle Management Software and a VSS Trip 500AL, you may quickly and accurately cali- brate the unit using the software, provided you know the pulses per mile used by your vehicle’s VSS (vehicle speed sensor). -
Page 11: Calibration Using The Speedometer
In order to calibrate using the speedometer, you must drive steadily at 40 km/h (25 MPH) and press a button on the Trip 500AL. The Trip 500AL bases its calibration on the speed of the vehicle at the moment of calibration which it assumes to be 40 km/h (25 MPH). - Page 12 (km/h or MPH). Note that until you calibrate the Trip 500AL this speed reading will be inaccurate. The dis- tance, which appears in the lower left of the display, is not necessary for this calibration procedure.
- Page 13 Trip 500AL’s speed display. Be aware that the Trip 500AL responds to changes in speed faster than most vehicles’ speedometers. To accurately com- pare, you must drive steadily at a speed for a short time.

2. Reset your vehicle’s trip meter to zero or make a note of the odometer reading. 3. Make sure you have a new trip started on the Trip 500AL (i.e., the distance travelled is 0. To forcibly start a new trip, log out (see page 14 for details). - Page 15 The distance travelled appears at the lower left of the dis- play. Note that until you calibrate the Trip 500AL, this dis- tance reading will be inaccurate. The speed reading and calibration speed, which appear on the display as well, are not necessary for this calibration procedure.

Page 34: Battery Operation
Battery Operation The Trip 500AL is designed to be taken out of your vehicle so the data may be reviewed anywhere. If you disconnect the unit from its power source (the vehicle) it will automati- cally switch to battery power. The word BAT appear in the lower left corner of all screens to indicate that you are run- ning on battery power. -
Page 35: Replacing The Battery
This means the unit is in “sleep mode” because it is not connected to the vehicle and does not receive power from the vechicle’s bat- tery. Thus if you do not power the Trip 500AL from your vehicle’s battery, it will not record any data. -

Be aware that the display lamp does not work when the unit is operating on battery power. - Page 37 My speed reads zero while driving. There could be a number of things wrong. Make sure the Trip 500AL is plugged in. Make sure the Trip 500AL is calibrated. Make sure the speed sensor is within 10-16 mm (3/8"- 5/8") of the magnet.
- Page 38 The speed reading on the Trip 500AL agrees with my vehicle’s speedometer, but the dis- tance reading on the Trip 500AL and my odometer differ (or vice versa). For best accuracy, you should calibrate using the car’s odometer (see “Calibration Using the Odometer”...
