Introduction

Welcome to the newest generation of navigation instruments

by RNS electronics: the TripMaster GFX v2 Pro.

Developed by rally pilots for rally pilots, the TripMaster GFX v2 Pro

offers many fresh and innovative features. Special attention was paid

to ensure the best possible readability and ease-of-use for the user

whilst offering as many functions as possible.

The new TripMaster GFX v2 Pro was designed implementing the

feedback from many riders, both professional and amateur, and

manufactured using materials and components of the highest

qualities.

We hope you enjoy many kilometres of pleasurable rally racing with

your new TripMaster GFX v2 Pro guiding you into the right direction.

Cable Connections

The TripMaster GFX v2 Pro has 4 cables exiting from the rear to

allow for the connection of power and accessories including:

•Red female 3-pin connector: 12V power supply

•Grey male 3-pin connector: MultiSwitch remote

•Black male 3-pin connector: wheel sensor

•Black female 4-pin connector: external Garmin GPS

NOTE: All 4 cables should be connected to their designated

peripherals to allow for all the features of the instrument to be

used.

NOTE: For further information on connecting a Garmin device,

please refer to page 18.

Power Supply

In order to correctly use the instrument, it must be connected

to a stable 12V DC supply on your vehicle. Ideally, the supply should

be automatically switched by the vehicle, e.g. through the lighting

system when the engine is started.

An inline fuse of no more than 1A is recommended.

Connect the BROWN wire of the included power lead to the

positive pole and the BLACK wire to the negative pole of your supply.

NOTE: Incorrect polarity will not damage the instrument, but

it will not function correctly.

Backup Battery

The instrument is equipped with an internal 320mAh capacity

Lithium-Polymer battery as a backup power source for when the 12V

supply is disconnected which is able to power the basic functions of

the device for many weeks.

Upon correct installation of the power supply, the battery will be

monitored and charged.

Neither the LED backlight nor the internal GPS receiver will run from

the internal battery. These features will always require the external

power supply to be connected!

NOTE: The internal Li-Po battery is NOT removable or

replaceable.

Current Consumption

The external 12V supply will be used as the main source of

power when connected. After 10 minutes of inactivity or movement

the device will turn off automatically. Both the LED backlight and

internal GPS receiver will also turn off.

It is recommended to connect the instrument to a switched power

supply, however it may also be connected to a permanent supply

(not recommended).

To awaken the instrument, press any button on the device or the

connected MultiSwitch or turn the front wheel to trigger the wheel

sensor. The GFX v2 Pro will not wake up from GPS movement since

the GPS module is off when sleeping.

The current draw in the different states is as follows:

1) LCD On

+ GPS reception (cold start)

+ LED backlight on

+ empty backup battery

= ~100mA MAX

2) LCD Off

+ empty backup battery

= ~30mA

3) LCD off

+ fully charged backup battery

= <5mA

Mounting Position

Correct mounting of the instrument is crucial to ensure a long

lifetime and reliable GPS reception.

A recommended mounting location of the device is on the top of a

navigation tower. Ideally, the top black face of the GFX v2 Pro should

not be covered by any materials, including metals, plastics and

carbon-fibre, ensuring an unobstructed clear view to the sky:

Make sure to install the instrument to the mounting plate with the

included rubber grommets, spacers and nuts in the correct order:

GPS Antenna Reception

After external power has been connected to the GFX v2 Pro, it

will start to acquire its signal from satellites orbiting the earth. The

GPS icon on the LCD of the instrument will flash in any of the GPS

dependent modes:

Please allow for some time during the first use of the device in a new

location (up to 10 minutes). Once the antenna starts to acquire a

stable signal the icon will no longer flash and become static.

Should at any time the signal become too weak the icon will begin

to flash again.

It is also possible to monitor the status of the GPS signal. Please refer

to page 13 “GPS Information”.

If the external power supply is disconnected the following icon will

appear instead:

Software Functions

Given the availability of both a wheel sensor and GPS, the GFX

v2 Pro is able to offer the rider lots of useful information. For

example, it is possible to show the trip distance recorded from the

rotation of the wheel or from the movement over ground via GPS.

Compass heading (CAP) and speed data from GPS are also available

as is an accurate atomic clock signal for the time.

In total, 13 modes are available that can be individually enabled or

disabled to suit the rider’s preferences:

1. GPS Trip

2. GPS Speed

3. GPS Trip + GPS Speed

a. Statistics for top and average speed

4. GPS Trip + CAP

5. CAP

6. Wheel Trip

7. Wheel Speed

a. Statistics for top and average speed

8. Wheel Trip + Wheel Speed

9. Wheel Trip + GPS Speed + CAP

10.Clock (24h)

11. Stage Timer (moving time)

12.CAP Assist

13.Repeater
