We declare that this product has been tested to and meet the requirements of: EC directive 2004/108/EC “Adapting to technical progress council directive 72/245/EEC relating to the radio interference (electromagnetic compatibility) of vehicles and amending directive 70/156/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the member states relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers.” And has also been ...

To configure TC8 using VBOX Setup software the module needs to be powered up and connected to a PC. To do this, connect TC8 to a powered VBOX using a RLCAB005 cable. Then use the supplied RLCAB042 USB cable to connect TC8 directly to the PC USB port. Open VBOX Setup and select the COM port the TC8 is connected to from the drop down list: Once the module has been connected the module code and serial number will be displayed. I ...

VBOX Setup Connect TC8 to VBOX Setup software as described here. To allow TC8 to communicate with the Video VBOX it must be set into 'Timed Mode'. In this mode TC8 will send CAN data at intervals determined by the timer value. https://racelogic.support/01VBOX_Automotive/04Modules_and_accessories/Thermocouple_Interface/ 9 ...

Baud Rate sets the bit rate of the CAN messages (default is 500 kbit/s). The timer value is in milliseconds (ms). A smaller value means data will be sent more frequently, a larger value means data will be sent less frequently. The range of values that can be entered is 0 to 65535 however the minimum value that should be entered is 10. Below this value da ...

Timer Value Frequency 10 100 50 20 100 10 400 2.5 1000 1 Video VBOX Setup To log data from a module, you need to load in the CAN database file relevant to the module that you're using. The .DBC files for RL modules can be downloaded from our VBOX Automotive website. Note: In order to communicate with Video VBOX units, Racelogic modules must be set into Timed CAN mode. For more information on ...

To do this, you simply expand and then tick the desired channels. When you have selected all the channels you need, click ‘Apply’. https://racelogic.support/01VBOX_Automotive/04Modules_and_accessories/Thermocouple_Interface/ 12 ...

scene properties. These are now loaded and will be logged to the VBO file. They can also now be assigned to an element. PLEASE NOTE: You cannot log from the vehicle CAN Bus at the same time as using a Racelogic Input Module.

TC8 can be configured to three different types of data logger, depending on the specific application and testing requirements. These are: • Racelogic VBOX (such as VBOX 3i) • Racelogic Video VBOX • Third party data logger (stand-alone mode) In any of these configurations, TC8 can be used in conjunction with other Racelogic modules via the Racelogic proprietary CAN bus. This allows several different VBOX modules to be dai ...

3. Make sure the antennas are rotated so the wires exit in the same direction as each other. 4. Accurately measure separation distance to the nearest 5 mm, for best accuracy measure from the point at which the cable exits the antenna. 5. For normal operation, place the primary antenna (Port A) at the rear of the car, and the secondary antenna (Port B) at t ...

coldstart may be required. 10. Move forward in a straight line, in an open area, and the 'DUAL' LED should turn green to indicate dual antenna lock has been obtained. Once the 'DUAL' LED is lit (green) you are ready to begin testing. Note: It takes around 30 – 60 seconds to reach full accuracy on the pitch measurement. For Slip and Roll measure ...
