VBOX Speed Sensor Dual Antenna

The VBOX Speed Sensor Dual Antenna has a host of features which makes it a very powerful and flexible vehicle testing equipment.

• High performance GPS and GLONASS receiver: 100Hz
• CAN Bus output includes: Speed, Heading, True Heading, Slip Angle, Pitch or Roll Angle, Slip Translations, Brake Stop Distance, Radius of Turn, Gyro Yaw Rate
• RS232 Serial Output of NMEA, position velocity and time
• User Configurable Analogue + Digital Outputs

• Virtual Lap Beacon Output
• Compatible with DGPS Base Station
• Rugged Deutsch ASDD Autosport connector
• High quality aluminium enclosure
• IP66 rated: water + dustproof
• Wide 6.5V – 30V operating range
• Low current consumption

With a length of only 13cm the unit is easy to mount and transport, making the Speed Sensor perfect for automotive testing, motorsport, marine, and telematics.

• Brake Testing – Using a brake pedal mounted trigger input, the 100Hz Speed Sensor will measure braking distance to within ±1.8cm.
• Performance Testing – This unit is perfect for all variations of performance testing, the accuracy and quick response of the 100Hz unit gives very repeatable and accurate results.
• Acceleration Testing
• Handling & Dynamics

Inputs

2x GPS Antennas
By utilising two GPS engines configured in a ‘fixed baseline RTK setup’, true heading, yaw rate, lateral and longitudinal velocity, slip angle and pitch angle can be measured, (slip is measured at the point at which you place the main reference antenna. This can be translated to any point on the vehicle in post processing).

Outputs

• CAN Bus
  Output Data Rate: 125Kbit, 250Kbit, 500Kbit & 1Mbit selectable baud rate. Software controlled CAN termination
• RS232
  NMEA and RL Serial data at up to 100Hz
• Analogue Output
  Either speed, lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, or lap beacon output at 0 to 5v DC
• Digital Output
  Speed or lap beacon.
  Output Data Rate: Low = 0v, High = 5v
  Max frequency 4.4Khz
