ALARMS occur when set points are exceeded. The battery load test will alarm after starting if the voltage drops below the set point. If the alarm is frequent you should have your service shop check for corroded or loose connections and test the battery. A charging circuit alarm means the alternator cannot keep the voltage up to the proper level. This could be from too much electrical load or the alternator is malfunctioning. In either case the electrical load should be reduced as much as possible. Watch the voltage on the meter to make your decision. Temperature alarms depend on what you are monitoring. If you don´t want an alarm then set it to the extremes.

Operation is simple, when you fill up, a new range distance is displayed. Plan your next fuel stop without guessing. Use as many or as few of the functions The Trip Computer  has to offer. The Trip Computer  can be tailored to your motorcycle and your needs. Daily riding time and distance help you make route and time decisions along the trip. Set the trip odometer at the start of your trip, read any time during the trip and total miles on completion or use it to keep track of servicing. Use the factory trip odometer for marking junctions or short trips. RANGE TRAK can assist in making a long stretch near the capacity of your tank. Waypoint distance can alert you when you approach a junction. Any and all information can be read anytime by touching one of two invisible pads.

How it works. When you refuel you must fill the tank FULL. The Trip Computer  is manually reset to your full tank or on some motorcycles it is automatic. To operate The Trip Computer , touch one of two invisible pads on either side of the The Trip Computer  logo to select the functions. The touch pads will work through winter gloves and are not visible to those who might want to tamper.

The distance traveled is measured from speed signals on your motorcycle or from a speed pick up supplied with your unit. The Trip Computer  measures the rate of consumption over a distance traveled and applies it to the fuel remaining in the tank. The Trip Computer keeps track of what´s in the tank by measuring it (by the drop) as it passes through the fuel injectors. This is what gives The Trip Computer its accuracy. It does not use the tank float for measuring the fuel like factory Trip Computers. 

The Trip Computer  is weather proof and comes with mounting hardware. The display is back lit for night use. The back light is turned off during the daylight keeping it bright for many years. A bright red LED flashes for alerts and alarms. The case is made from polycarbonate, a material used for bullet resistant windows. The outside is polished and has no groves to collect dirt. The finish is internal and will never rub off. It has an internal heater to keep the display crisp and reduce fogging in cold weather. One year limited warranty to the original owner.

The Trip Computer  requires fuel injected engines. It can be calibrated to any size tank(s). Filling up to the factory specified FULL level is required. The Trip Computer supports miles, km, gallons, liters, Deg. F & C, 12/24 hour clock.  The Trip Computer  was designed and assembled in the US. The design contains industrial grade components to give many years of trouble free service. Conformal coating is applied to the circuit boards and dielectric grease used on contacts to keep out moisture. It is repairable should it need it.
