01 - VB3i Introduction
Configuration
VBOX 3i can be configured using
via a RLCAB005 cable, or can be connected to a computer and
configured using
software. You can connect to a computer via Bluetooth, a RLCAB001 cable to
the '
SER
' input and the computer's serial port (USB-serial adapter may be required), or via a RLCAB066-2 cable to one
of the computer's USB ports.
For ADAS applications, connection between the VB3i and computer should be made via USB or Bluetooth to ensure
optimum performance.
Power Supply
Included with the VBOX 3i is a cigar lighter power cable, which is the primary source of power input. This is terminated
in a 2-way connector and mates with the 2-way ‘PWR’ socket on the VBOX 3i.
The VBOX 3i can be powered from a wide range of voltage sources. When considering batteries as a power source,
please note that the minimum operating voltage of the VBOX 3i is 7 V. The maximum operating voltage input must not
exceed 30 V DC. Failure to observe this could result in damage to the VBOX.
Note
- Using an
prevents the system shutting down under temporary power loss.
Warning
The VBOX can be connected to other Racelogic input modules including the ADC03, ADC02, TC8, FIM02/3 and
multifunction display. Please note that the voltage supply to Racelogic modules connected to the VBOX will be at the
same level as the VBOX power input. Therefore, when using any of the Racelogic peripherals with VBOX 3i, the
input voltage must not exceed 15 V. Failure to observe this could result in damage to the module and possibly the
VBOX 3i.
When running the VBOX from a battery pack, the VBOX will sound a warning tone to indicate when the battery voltage
