Remove screws Remove cover
3. The slot on the left is for the Bluetooth module. The slot on the right is not active and for future developments.
Carefully slide the Bluetooth module into the slot and press with your thumb to secure it in the slot.
Install the Bluetooth module into the left slot
4. Replace the cover and tighten the two retaining screws being careful not to overtighten.
5. Install the receiver battery and switch on the unit. After a few seconds a black Bluetooth icon should appear showing that
the module is fitted.
6. If the Bluetooth icon is grey this means the GPS option is not fitted or incorrectly fitted.
7. The Bluetooth module can communicate with external devices that are also Bluetooth enabled. Generally Bluetooth devices
fall into two categories of high and low power devices. The vLoc3 Bluetooth module is compatible with low-power devices.
5.2 Pairing with external GPS or Dataloggers
First check that a Bluetooth module is installed in the vLoc3 receiver. A grey color GPS icon on the status bar shows that no
Bluetooth module is installed. A Black GPS icon indicates that the Bluetooth module is installed.
Bluetooth pairing with external devices.
1. Switch on the external device.
2. Switch on the vLoc3 series receivers and enter the user setup menu by a long press on the “
i
” button.
3. Use the “+” and “-” keys to scroll to and select Bluetooth Pairing.
4. Press the Enter key.
5. Press the Enter key to start a Bluetooth search for external devices.
6. A list of available devices will be shown.
7. Scroll to the desired external device and press the Enter key.
8. Double press the “
i
” button to return to the main screen.
After a few seconds the Bluetooth icon should turn blue indicating the device has paired successfully.
The unit will remember the pairing even after switching off. However the unit can only remember one unit at a time so if the unit
is paired with another device the settings will be replaced.
GPS (Global Positioning System)/GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)
The vLoc3 series receivers can utilize location data from an external GPS/GNSS. The vLoc3 receiver needs to be paired with an
external device (see the previous section on Bluetooth devices).
Once paired with an external device the vLoc3 receiver will await valid GPS data from the external device. The GPS icon will
turn green when a valid GPS signal is detected. It can take from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the device and
whether it is doing a “cold” or “hot” start.
