Using Internal Battery Only:

•

Vector will light up with all five LED’s. Vector will remain lit as long as it senses wheel movement. After 20 minutes of inactivity Vector shuts off the backlight. Press any button, roll the wheels, or start the motor power and V ector will light up again. Shift and temperature LED’s will be enabled.

Vector will only stay lit for 3 seconds. Vector’s backlight will light up with 10% power to conserve the internal battery’s power. If the LO symbol is present, the backlight will not turn on. The LO symbol appears when battery voltage drops below 2.45V. If ambient temperature is cold (below -5°C) the backlight will not turn on.

Parts & Features

Use of the Reset Button will erase data for the current ride including clock and trip distance.

Vector has an internal 3.0V watch type battery (#CR2032). The computer can be run from the internal battery without being connected to a vehicle power source. To change the battery, unscrew the battery cap on the back of the computer with a coin. Make sure the positive side of the battery is facing up when replaced.

Installation

If possible, install Vector to a 12 volt system:

•

OPTION 1) BATTERY WIRED:

Connect the power cables directly to the vehicle’s 12 volt battery.

OPTION 2) SYSTEM TAP:

As an alternative to running wires all the way to the battery, it is possible to tap into the electrical system. It is best to connect so power is not interrupted by key switch.

Notes:

•

12 Volt Systems:

Power Wire Resistor Power Wire:

Included in some kits.

The backlight will be 10 times brighter . Vector will enter sleep mode after 20 minutes instead of 5 minutes. The temperature indicator LED’s will be enabled.

Vector is polarity independent. Either lead can go to the positive or negative post on the battery. Vector will not drain the vehicle battery. The “LO” low battery indicator will activate if battery voltage drops below 2.45V. Vector will operate in the range of 6.0 - 400 VAC/VDC, but will not draw enough power to drain a vehicle battery.

Installation

V ector needs two things to be able to collect distance data:

1. A magnet placed on the spinning part of the wheel.

2. A speed sensor, placed on the non-moving part of the wheel.

The magnet spins around tripping the sensor switch each time--data collected lets V ector calculate distance and time.

The magnet gets installed on the brake rotor because it spins with the wheel. The provided magnetic bolt can simply replace a stock

rotor bolt (see above picture). If that doesn’t work, glue the spare magnet in a hole on the brake rotor . (JB Weld or a similar slowcure epoxy works well.)

After the magnet is in, the sensor is placed on a nonspinning part the wheel. The sensor typically is placed on either the provided C-bracket or the ATV metal rotor shield.

ATV Sensor/Magnet Installation:

C-Bracket Installation-ATV Left Axle

Magnetic Bolt Installation

ATV Rotor

Installation

Motorcycles, like ATV’s, need a magnet placed on the spinning part of the wheel and the sensor installed to a non-spinning part.

The magnet typically gets bolted or glued to the brake rotor.

The sensor wire should come from the back of the computer , be cable-tied to the brake line as it travels down the front forks, then attached to the brake caliper.

Motorcycle Sensor/Magnet Installation:

Vector can tell how far and fast it’s traveled by keeping track of how many times the magnet passes under the sensor switch.

Many Motorcycles and ATV’s have special installation procedures. Refer to the provided installation insert for specific instructions for your machine or visit www.TrailTech.net.

Magnet About to Pass Under Sensor

Optimum Magnet Rotation Path

Installation

You will use the wheel size number when setting up the computer for your machine. Use Method 1, 2 or 3.

Find the circumference of front wheel by measuring its diameter in millimeters. Multiply the Wheel Diameter by 3.14. The result is your wheel size.

On a flat surface, mark the tire sidewall and the ground with a marking pen. Roll the wheel until the mark on the tire completes one revolution and is back on the ground. Mark the ground at this location. Measure the distance between the marks on the ground and convert the measurement to mm (multiply inches by 25.4). Use this number for your wheel size. For accuracy, the rider’s weight should be on the bike when making this measurement.

Overview:

Method 1) Easy Ruler Method:

Method 2) Rolling Measurements:

Wheel Size=

Wheel Diameter(mm)

x 3.14

Diameter(mm)

x 3.14

For the most accurate measurement, use wheel size measurement from above or set the wheel size to 2110mm (motorcycle) or 1675 (ATV) and follow this procedure:

2110 = 4.95 or (current wheel size) = (current miles) X 5.00 (new wheel size) (actual miles)

4.95X = 2110 * 5.00

4.95X = 10550

X =

10550

4.95

X = 2131

Installation

Find a length of road where the distance is known.

Ride the distance and note the distance the computer reads (for example, the road is known to be 5 miles and the computer shows

4.95 miles.)

Use the numbers to solve for X in the following equation:

Enter number found from the above method in your computer.
