Summary of Contents for Trail Tech Voyager Pro

  • Page 1 Thanks for riding with Trail Tech! Precautions Help 1. To charge Voyager Pro using a wall outlet, a Trail Tech approved wall charger is required. Attempting to charge Voyager Pro directly off an outlet will result in failure of your device.
  • Page 2 9. Do not disassemble Voyager Pro or its accessories. 10. Do not operate Voyager Pro while driving/riding. 11. Do not rely on Voyager Pro for operations requiring precise measurements of distance or direction. All GPS devices inherently contain some amount of error. Use the wheel sensor for the most precise data.
  • Page 3 How long does the internal battery take to charge fully? Voyager Pro takes 3-8 hours to fully charge depending on charge mode. You don't need to pre-charge; connect and ride. How do I get the best GPS reception? The internal antenna is designed for optimum reception potential. If Voyager Pro is mounted with metal blocking the internal antenna, consider purchasing an external GPS antenna for better positioning.
  • Page 4 (<11.5V) to allow for proper operation. For applications where DC power is not available, Trail Tech offers an AC wall charger for Voyager Pro to charge the internal battery.
  • Page 5 Trail Tech believes an accurate odometer and hour meter are critical features. To maintain this accuracy, a wheel sensor is recommended. 1. When using a wheel sensor, Voyager Pro knows to stop logging when the vehicle stops moving. When you start rolling again, Voyager Pro knows to resume logging (without a GPS induced lag.)
  • Page 6 There are a few things to know about the outside of Voyager Pro: 1. The four buttons on the case are for Menu/Power/Confirm, Back, Up and Down. 2. The large button at the top of the dock releases Voyager Pro. The dock should be mounted securely and wired in.
  • Page 7 3. External antennas extend the range of Voyager Pro's features. 4. Voyager Pro is compatible with the popular RAM mounts. Kits may include handlebar, suction cup, or steering column mounts. 5. The MicroSD card is the primary way to transfer data files to and from...
  • Page 8 6. Installing all the vehicle sensors isn't required, Voyager Pro will do its best to use GPS data. However, each installed sensor unlocks new features of Voyager Pro. Buttons Help Touch Screen Control Voyager Pro's maps and menus by tapping and swiping the touch screen.
  • Page 9 The dock should be secured to the vehicle and wired in. The quick-release dock allows for swapping Voyager Pro between several vehicles. The Dock's Button Press the large button at the top of the dock to release Voyager Pro from the dock.
  • Page 10 The dock's wires connect to the vehicle sensors. Wheel sensor for speed, spark sensor for tach, battery connection for power and voltage, and thermometer for temperature. Voyager Pro will operate without any vehicle sensors attached by using GPS data, but you should at least install the power wire to keep the internal battery charged up.
  • Page 11 Voyager Pro is not seated in the dock. Locking the Dock A small Allen wrench can be used to lock Voyager Pro to the dock for added security. Turn the small Allen screw inside 6 times to lock or unlock.
  • Page 12 The internal GPS antenna is great for normal use. If there is excessive metal around the mounting location it could interfere with reception. An external GPS antenna can be installed into the dock's GPS antenna port in order to achieve a better antenna mounting position. Antenna Ports Two brass antenna ports are found on the dock next to the sensor wires.
  • Page 13 The omni antenna mounts to plastics, like the plastic roof of a UTV. Installing an omni antenna enables the buddy tracking features.

  • Page 17 Tach Sensor 3. The ignition sensor enables the tach bargraph screen and over-RPM warning lights. The tach signal can pause track recording while the engine is turned off. Wheel Sensor 4. The wheel sensor provides slightly more accurate speed and distance than GPS.
  • Page 18 Connect the power cable directly to the vehicle's 12-volt battery. A 0.5-amp fuse (not provided) should be used. Voyager Pro can be set to charge always, or to only charge when the engine is running to protect the vehicle battery.
  • Page 19 Vehicle Accessory Socket If Voyager Pro is mounted inside a vehicle using the suction cup or steering column mounts, it may make more sense to draw power from the vehicle's accessory power socket. Ignition Sensor Help The ignition sensor detects the on/off status of the engine. When the engine is shut off, Voyager will go to sleep for power conservation.
  • Page 20 If tach readings are erratic, there may be electrical static. Try using more or less sensor wraps and avoid running the sensor wire along other heavily charged wires. Adding an inline fuse may help. If tach readings are way off, check your PPR (pulses per revolution) setting. Temperature Sensors Help A temperature sensor tells you how hot your vehicle is getting.
  • Page 21 Radiator Hose Sensor For water-cooled machines. Hose sensors are the most accurate because they directly take the coolant temperature as it leaves the radiator and enters the engine. Installation requires cutting the radiator hose. Be sure to measure the inner diameter of the hose to make sure you have the right sensor BEFORE CUTTING THE HOSE.

  • Page 22: Wheel Size

    Many Motorcycles and ATVs have special installation procedures. Refer to the online model-specific instructions for more information. Wheel Size Knowing your exact wheel size is critical for the wheel sensor to calculate correct speed and distance data. The more accurate the wheel size, the better Voyager Pro performs.
  • Page 23 Knowing your exact wheel size it critical for the wheel sensor to calculate correct speed and distance data. The more accurate the wheel size, the better Voyager Pro performs. When comparing calibration to GPS data, use a long straight section of road.
  • Page 24 On a flat surface, mark the tire sidewall and the ground with a marking pen. Roll the wheel until the 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).
