 Parts & Features

Backlight:
Vector is equipped with a backlight for easy viewing during night-time
operation.

Using External 12V Power:

• Vector will light up with all five LED’s.
• Vector will remain lit as long as it senses wheel movement. After
20 minutes of inactivity Vector shuts off the backlight. Press any
button, roll the wheels, or start the motor power and Vector will light
up again.
• Shift and temperature LED’s will be enabled.

Using Internal Battery Only:

• Vector will only stay lit for 3 seconds.
• Vector’s backlight will light up with 10% power to conserve the
internal battery’s power.
• If the LO symbol is present, the backlight will not turn on. The LO
symbol appears when battery voltage drops below 2.45V.
• If ambient temperature is cold (below -5°C) the backlight will not
turn on.

12 Volt Systems:
If possible, install Vector to a 12 volt system:
• The backlight will be 10 times brighter.
• Vector will enter sleep mode after 20
minutes instead of 5 minutes.
• The temperature indicator LED’s will
be enabled.

OPTION 1) BATTERY WIRED:

Connect the power cables directly to the
vehicle’s 12 volt battery.

OPTION 2) SYSTEM TAP:

As an alternative to running wires all the way to the battery, it is
possible to tap into the electrical system. It is best to connect so
power is not interrupted by key switch.

Notes:
• Vector is polarity independent.
Either lead can go to the positive or negative post on the battery.
• Vector will not drain the vehicle battery.
• The “LO” low battery indicator will activate if battery voltage drops
below 2.45V.
• Vector will operate in the range of 6.0 - 400 VAC/VDC, but will not
draw enough power to drain a vehicle battery.

 Installation

ATV Sensor/Magnet Installation:

Vector needs two things to be
able to collect distance data:

1. A magnet placed on the

spinning part of the wheel.
2. A speed sensor, placed on
the non-moving part of the
wheel.

The magnet spins around

tripping the sensor switch
each time--data collected lets Magnetic Bolt Installation
Vector calculate distance and ATV Rotor
time.

The magnet gets installed on the brake rotor because it spins with
the wheel. The provided magnetic bolt can simply replace a stock
rotor bolt (see above
picture). If that doesn’t
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-
spinning part the wheel.
The sensor typically is
placed on either the
C-Bracket Installation-ATV Left Axle provided C-bracket or the
ATV metal rotor shield.

 Installation

Motorcycle Sensor/Magnet Installation:

Motorcycles, like ATV’s,
need a magnet placed on
the spinning part of the
wheel and the sensor
installed to a non-spinning
part.

The magnet typically gets

bolted or glued to the
brake rotor.

The sensor wire should

come from the back of the
computer, be cable-tied to
the brake line as it travels
down the front forks, then Magnet About to Pass Under Sensor
attached to the brake
caliper.

Vector can tell how far and fast

it’s traveled by keeping track of
how many times the magnet
passes under the sensor switch.

Many Motorcycles and ATV’s

have special installation
procedures. Refer to the
provided installation insert for
specific instructions for your
machine or visit

 Installation

Overview:
You will use the wheel size number when setting up the computer for
your machine. Use Method 1, 2 or 3.

Method 1)
Easy Ruler Wheel Size=
Method: Wheel Diameter(mm)
Find the x 3.14
circumference
of front wheel
by measuring
its diameter in
millimeters. Multiply
the Wheel Diameter Diameter(mm)
by 3.14. The result is your x 3.14
wheel size.

Method 2)
Rolling Measurements:
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 and convert the
measurement to mm (multiply inches by 25.4). Use this number for
your wheel size. For accuracy, the rider’s weight should be on the
bike when making this measurement.

 Installation

Method 3) Distance Measurements:

For the most accurate measurement, use wheel size measurement
from above or set the wheel size to 2110mm (motorcycle) or 1675
(ATV) and follow this procedure:

1. Find a length of road where the distance is known.

2. Ride the distance and note the distance the computer reads (for
example, the road is known to be 5 miles and the computer shows
4.95 miles.)

3. Use the numbers to solve for X in the following equation:

2110 4.95 (current wheel size) (current miles)

= or =
X 5.00 (new wheel size) (actual miles)

4.95X = 2110 * 5.00

4.95X = 10550

10550
X=
4.95

X = 2131

4. Enter number found from the above method in your computer.

 Troubleshooting

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why does nothing work?
• Try the reset button on the back of Vector.
• The internal battery may be dead, or Vector is not hooked up to
vehicle power properly. Review installation procedure.

Why doesn’t the engine temperature feature work?

• You must have the engine temperature sensor installed correctly
for this feature to function. Review installation procedure.
• If a wire has become disconnected and plugged back in, perform
a reset by pressing <LEFT>+<CENTER> or the reset button on
the back of Vector. A data reset must be performed in order for
Vector to re-recognize the sensors if they become unplugged.
• Vector will display “- -” for engine temperature until it reaches 100ºF
(38ºC.)

Everything is working, but the (K)MPH reading is way off.

• The speed sensor/magnet may be installed incorrectly. Double
check to make sure everything is set up right. See page 14-15.
• The wheel size setting may be incorrect. Please review wheel size
measurement instructions in this manual. See page 16.

Vector is not displaying information correctly.

 Troubleshooting

The screen is hazy or crazed.

• Did gasoline, degreasers, or other chemical cleaners come in
contact with Vector’s screen? Some chemicals can damage Vector.

The backlight won’t stay lit.

• Vector needs to be connected to vehicle’s 12 volt system in order
for the backlight to be continuous on. Review installation procedure.
See page 9.

Vector’s internal battery is dead.

• To replace the battery, use a coin to unscrew the round panel on
the back of Vector. Remove the old battery and install the new
one. Make sure the positive pole is facing up. Replace with
common watch battery CR2302. See page 10.

Why aren’t the LED’s working?

• Vector needs to be connected to vehicle’s 12 volt system in order
for the LED’s to function.
• Settings must be programmed manually. See pages 8, 22, and 35.

A wire came unplugged, and now the sensors don’t work.

• A data reset must be performed in order for Vector to re-recognize
the sensors if they become unplugged. Perform a reset by pressing
<LEFT>+<CENTER> or the reset button on the back of Vector.
