Power Supply
VBOX 25 Hz Speed Sensor units are powered via the POWER IN lead or the CAN OUT + POWER lead on the supplied
loom. You can use the RLCAB010LE cable to connect to a 12 V ouput point in a vehicle or you can use a battery pack
(RLACS333-L).
IMPORTANT
•The maximum operating voltage input must not exceed 30 V DC. Failure to observe this could result in
damage to the VBOX unit.
•The cable looms and unit connectors are colour coded. It is important that you use a loom with a colour
marker that corresponds with the colour marker on the unit's connector. The VBOX 25 Hz GPS Speed
Sensor (v2) has a yellow colour marker.
VBOX Speed Sensors have been designed to generate as little heat as possible and has a wide operating temperature
range. It is, however, good practice to mount it in a position where it has sufficient airflow around the unit.

Mounting
The VBOX 25 Hz Speed Sensor should be secured
inside the vehicle to stop it from moving when
the vehicle is in motion.
The base plate has M3 screw holes along its length that
you can use if you want to bolt it directly to a mounting
surface in the vehicle.
Alternatively, the Racelogic Mounting pole is compatible
so you can mount the
information or to order a mounting arm (RLACS212-V2)
and/or mounting bracket (RLACS291).
Antenna Placement
Appropriate placement of the GNSS antenna is crucial to the quality of the data that is being recorded.
Be aware of objects that can shadow the antenna or block the signal to the antenna. Some objects can also reflect
signals which can send weaker GNSS signals to the antenna. This is called multipath, and these reflections can disturb
the signal in an unpredictable way.
If an antenna is not mounted on a large enough ground plane, multipath reflections can also come from the ground
beneath the antenna.
Note: You can find in-depth information about how to place the antenna on a vehicle and how to use the satellite
elevation mask here.

1. Look at the connectors on both
the loom and the unit.
2. Locate the different-sized inner
notches on the loom's
connector and line them up
with the equivalent notches on
the unit's connector.
3. Note the outer notches on the
connector.

Push the connectors gently together and twist the outer ring on the loom's connector until it slots in place and locks
the connection.
Disconnecting the Loom From the VBOX Unit
Note the notches on the connectors as illustrated above. Twist the loom's connector while you gently pull it away from
the unit.

VBOX Setup
An overview of how to use the VBOX Setup Software to configure your VBOX 25 Hz Speed Sensor (v2).
Introduction
This is a general overview of the VBOX Setup software, connected to the VBOX 25 Hz Speed Sensor (v2), and its
functionality. You can use the VBOX Setup Software to configure your VBOX unit. It provides greater functionality in
comparison to using the Front Panel.
Connection
To configure a VBOX Speed Sensor unit, it needs to be connected to a power source and a computer.
Configuration is performed using VBOX Setup Software, which can be downloaded here. Using the supplied loom,
connect an RLCAB001 cable to the SERIAL lead and connect the serial plug to the computer's serial port – this can be
done via a serial > USB converter if required.
IMPORTANT
Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 or newer is required (must be compatible with .Net Framework 4.7.1)
Once physically connected and powered, open the software and use the drop-down list to select the correct COM port
that your VBOX unit is connected to. VBOX Setup automatically connects to the selected device and enters the setup
screen for your unit.
