FAQ
FrequentlyAskedQuestions
1.Voyagerwillnotturnon:
Theinternal
batterymayneedtobechargedbeforeuse,
connecttovehiclepowerorusethewallcharger
(wallchargersoldseparately.)
2.Howlongdoestheinternalbatterytaketo
chargefully?
Noneedtoprechargeconnect
andride.Voyagertakes38hourstofully
chargedependingonchargemode.
3.HowdoIgetthebestreception?
The
internalantennaisdesignedforoptimum
receptionpotential.IfVoyagerismountedwith
metalblockingtheinternalantenna,consider
purchasingtheexternalantenna.
4.HowdoImountVoyagertomymachine?

Vehicleswithhandlebarscanusetheincluded
handlebarmountinghardware.Therearealso
protectiveaccessorymountsavailable,orutilize
thetwomountingholesinthebackofVoyagerto
xtoaatsurface.
5.WhatkindofpowerdoesVoyagerneed
forproperoperation?
Voyagerisintendedto
workonregulatedACorDCmotorcyclepower
systems.TheDCinputrangeis12Vto65V.
TheACinputrangeis12VRMSto150Vpeak
input.Voltagesgreaterthan150Vmaydamage
Voyager.DCpowersystemswithafailing
vehiclebatterymayproducetoolowasystem
voltage(<11.5V)toallowforproperoperation.
6.Voyagerkitsincludephysicalsensors,
magnets,andothercables.Whydoes
theunitneedthisifit’saGPS?
Youcan
useVoyagerhandheldwithoutanysensors
connected.However,physicallyboltingVoyager
toyourvehicleprovidesmanyadvantagesover
aconventionalhandheldGPS.
A.Powerfromthemachineenablesseveral

majorfeatures:enginetemperaturediagnostics

C.TheignitionsensortellsVoyagerwhenthe

onlywhenengineisrunningandtachometer

D.Thewheelsensorcanalsocontrolwhen

7.DoIreallyneedawheelsensor?Myother
GPSunitgetsalongjustnewithoutone.
All
speed/distancedatacanbegatheredfromeither
GPSorthewheelsensor.Voyagerkitsprovidea
wheelsensorforseveralreasons:
A.Whenusingawheelsensor,Voyagerknows
tostoploggingwhenthevehiclestopsmoving.
Whenyoustartrollingagain,thewheelsensor
tellsVoyagerwhichstartsloggingagain(without
aGPSinducedlag.)
B.Thewheelsensorwilltrackdistance
regardlessofGPSconditions.Thisisimportant
underseveralcircumstances:
a.GPScannottellthedifferencebetween
amotorcyclemovingunderitsownpowerorin
thebackofatruck.
b.TheGPSsignalcanbelost,especially
aroundmetalstructuresorintunnels.Withno
signal,speedanddistanceaccuracyislost.
c.GPScannotseesmallchangesin
elevation(i.e.whoopsandruts.)Overtimethis
willcreatesignicantodometererror.
d.GPSisaccuratewhiletravellingin
straightlinesatconstantvelocity.However,tight,
fastcornerswillcausetheGPStoskipoverpart
ofyourpath.Overtimethiswillcontributeto
odometererror.
C.TrailTechbelievesanaccurateodometer
andhourmeterarecriticalfeatures.Tomaintain
thisaccuracy,kitsareprovidedwithawheel
sensorincluded.
8.CanVoyageruseGPXles?
GPX(GPS

FrequentlyAskedQuestions
9.Myvehicledoesnothaveabatteryora
headlight.CanIrunVoyager?
Yes.Voyager
canbeconnectedtovehiclepowerevenona
vehiclewithoutabatteryorlightingcapability.
Mostmotocrossmachinesmanufacturedbefore
2009donothavebatteriesoranytypeof
regulatedpower.NotethatthepeakACinput
rangeforVoyageris150V.Formotocrossbikes
producinginexcessof150V,itwouldbebestto
runVoyageronitsinternallithiumbatteryalone.
Purchasetheaccessorywallchargertocharge
theinternallithiumbatterybeforeriding.Contact
TrailTechformoreinformationontestingyour
bike’speakACoutput.
Ifthemachineiswithintheacceptablerange,
followTrailTech’sinstructionsforconnectto
vehiclepower(e.g.attheCDIinput.)
10.CanVoyagerbeturnedonandoff
manually?
Yes.Holddowntheupperleft
buttontopowerVoyageroff.NotethatVoyager
hastwotypesofsleepmode.
Therstsleepmodeshowstheclockon
thescreen.Somefeaturesareturnedoffto
conservepower,butVoyagerisstillalertto
comebackonquicklywhenyouarereadyto
continueriding.
ThesecondsleepmodeturnsVoyageroff
completelytoconserveasmuchpoweras
possible.Youcanalterthesleepmodetimersin

TrailTechVoyager
Whilenotrequired,usingthewheelsensoris
recommended.Itwillcollectmoreaccuratespeedand
distancedatathanGPS.DuetolimitationsinGPS
technology,physicalsensorsperformwithmoreprecision.
GPSsometimeslosestrackofyourmovements,whilethe
wheelsensoralwaysknowswhenyouaremoving.
Twohalvesarerequiredforthewheelsensortofunction:
1.Amagnet,onthespinningpartofthewheel.
2.Aspeedsensor,onthenonspinningpartofthewheel.
Themagnetspinsaroundtrippingthesensorswitch
eachtimegivingVoyagerspeed,distanceandtime
datatocomparewiththeGPSdata.
Themagnetisinstalledonthebrakerotorbecause
itspinswiththewheel.Theprovidedmagneticbolt
replacesastockrotorbolt.Ifthatwillnotwork,glue
thesparemagnetinaholeonthebrakerotor.(JB
Weldorasimilarslowcureepoxyworkswell.)
Afterthemagnetisin,thesensorisplacedonanon

forthewheelsensortocalculatecorrect
speedanddistancedata.Themore

Voyagerperforms.
WhencomparingcalibrationtoGPS

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inmillimeters(multiplyinchesby25.4to
converttomm).Usethisnumberforyourwheelsize.Foraccuracy,therider’sweightshouldbeon
thebikewhenmakingthemeasurement.
