Operation

Power

Included with a VBOX 3iSL is a cigar lighter power cable, which is the primary source of power input. This is terminated in a 2-way connector and mates with the 2-
way „PWR‟ socket on a VBOX 3iSL.
A VBOX 3iSL can be powered from a wide range of voltage sources, when considering batteries as a power source please note that the minimum operating voltage
of a VBOX 3iSL is 7V. The maximum operating voltage input must not exceed 30V DC. Failure to observe this could result in damage to the VBOX.
Warning
The VBOX can be connected to other Racelogic input modules including the ADC03, ADC02, TC8,
FIM02/3 and Multifunction display. Please note that the voltage supply to Racelogic modules
connected to the VBOX will be at the same level as the VBOX power input. Therefore when using
any of the Racelogic peripherals with VBOX 3iSL, the input voltage must not exceed 15 volts.
Failure to observe this could result in damage to the module and possibly the VBOX 3iSL.
When running the VBOX from a battery pack, the VBOX will sound a warning tone to indicate when the battery voltage is reaching the minimum operating voltage
level. When this tone is heard, the battery pack requires re-charging or replacing.
A VBOX 3iSL has been designed to generate as little heat as possible and it has a wide operating temperature range, however it is good practice to mount the
VBOX 3i in a position where it has sufficient airflow around the case.
You must connect the GPS antenna before connecting power to a VBOX 3iSL. This is necessary because on power-up a VBOX 3iSL will look for a connected GPS
antenna and automatically adjust its gain for optimum performance.
