Introduction

There are two basic modes - Edit mode and Race mode.
Edit mode is used to setup wheel circumference, setup Clock, setup Automatic
Calibration, view and zero trip distance, and to view full distance. Once the
motorcycle moves .01 km it is in Race mode and Edit mode cannot be accessed.
Race mode has these primary displays:
* Distance
* Current Speed
*Clock timer (if enabled in Edit)
Race mode also allows access to Peak Speed, which is the highest Speed
reached during a ride.
Several new functions, which our previous models did not have, have been
included:
* Edit mode
*Clock timer display can be hidden from the Race mode display rotation.
*Clock timer resets to 00:00 when the instrument is Shut OFF.
* Automatic Calibration can adjust the wheel circumference to match the
roadbook.
* Full time sensor indicator

Functions
After the instrument is turned on, but before you have begun a ride, access to
Edit is enabled. In Edit the wheel circumference can be viewed or adjusted,
the Clock display turned on or off, Automatic calibration on or off, trip distance
can be viewed or cleared, and FULL distance can be view.

since the last time this number was cleared. See
page 9 on how to clear this number.
Bump either bottom button to go to FULL dis-
tance. This is the total distance on the instru-
ment and it cannot be cleared, and it will scroll to
show 5 digits up to 65,535 km. This distance is
retained even if all batteries are removed and
the motorcycle's 12 volt battery is disconnected.

Set Wheel Circumference
cm
The wheel size used by the instrument to
calculate distance can be adjusted to match
your front tire circumference. Place a mark on
your tire and a corresponding mark on the floor.
Roll the wheel one revolution, then place a
second mark on the floor. This is your actual
wheel size. For our example we will adjust the
instrument to a wheel size of 215 cm.

Functions
Distance Display
Each time the wheel sensor closes
while at the Distance display, the 2
left digits are blanked and the lower
ticks are on. This provides a means
of checking sensor operation at any
time during a ride. This is only visible
at very low speeds, so it will not be
distracting in a race.

While at any of the 3 Race modes holding both buttons on
the instrument head will Shut OFF the instrument.
Hold both buttons on the instrument head to Shut OFF.

Automatic Shut OFF
After 2 hours of no button activity or no wheel
movement, the instrument will automatically
Shut OFF.
NOTE: Upon turn ON after an automatic Shut
OFF, the Distance at the time of the Shut OFF
will be displayed. From there operation can be
resumed from that distance, or the distance can
be zeroed.

If Automatic Calibration is ON (See Page 8) each time an adjustment to the dis-
tance is performed (other than Zeroing the distance) the instrument will do an
automatic adjustment to the wheel circumference it uses to measure the dis-
tance travelled.
NOTE: This calculation has many safeguards which prevent the instrument from
making an unusual adjustment. It has been proven in over 20 years of use.
If you get lost, then return to the course and make an adjustment, the instru-
ment WILL NOT calculate a new wheel circumference. It will ignore the adjust-
ment and use the same wheel circumference as before the adjustment.
At the start of each day's ride the instrument does not use the Automatic Cali-
bration wheel circumference from the previous ride. It will use the wheel circum-
ference set in Edit (See page 5) until a manual distance adjustment is per-
formed along the course. It then begins adjusting to that day's course.
Automatic wheel calibration
If Automatic Calibration is OFF the rider will have direct access to the wheel cir-
cumference in Edit after each time he zeros the distance (See page 11)
Manual wheel calibration
Distance Hold either bottom until "Cir" is displayed, then release.
Bump a bottom button to go to wheel circumference.
While the wheel circumference is displayed bump a top
button to change the circumference, or bump a bottom
to go back to the Distance display.
If the instrument distance is consistently less than
the roadbook then increase the circumference.
If it is running ahead of the roadbook then
decrease the circumference.
Avoid making any large adjustment.
EXAMPLE: After 50.0km the instrument reads
52.5km, which is roughly 5% error. Decrease the
wheel circumference by 11cm to 209cm. 16

A VR that is properly connected to the motorcycle's 12V battery will illuminate
the display continuously while it is ON. While ON it will draw only 25 milliamps
of power. When the VR is OFF the backlighting goes off and the instrument
draws only 30 microamps (.030 milli amps)
Display backlighting
Battery message
If the wires to the motorcycle's battery become disconnected
on a VR then the display backlighting goes off and a bAtt
message is displayed upon Shut OFF or Turn ON.
The instrument will continue operation using the internal lithi-
um batteries.
bAtt flashes upon Turn ON or Shut
OFF.

Battery Installation
Two CR 2032 Lithium 3.0Vbatteries are used.
On the Rallye VR Light the batteries are for backup purposes only--to maintain
operation if the wires to the motorcycle's battery become disconnected.
They should provide approximately 200 hours of ON time.
DO NOT PREY AGAINST THE BATTERY
HOLDER, IT WILL CAUSE DAMAGE!
Press against the
center tab and the
battery will snap up
To remove the lithium batteries use a
screwdriver as shown to press against
the round, center tab on the battery
holder. The battery will snap up and allow
easy removal.
To install the batteries push into the holder,
then press down with a finger. Note that the "+"
faces up.
