Bleednipple Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi, my first post on here after lurking and soaking up a huge amount of invaluable TR-ness, thanks all. Just brought home my 1962 TR4 (PFF 337), a US car but back in UK since 1994 and has been used for tours and rallies here and on the Continent. I fully intend to continue that. It has an old 1980s Terratrip 202 installed and seemingly working, this model: But my last rallying days were pre-electronics and this is like the helm on the Starship Enterprise. Can anyone give me a 'Dummies Guide' to what all the buttons do (apart from the obvious CLR resets)? Can this one run backwards? Thanks! Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi Nigel, there is a load of stuff on google that may help https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=terratrip+202&oq=Teratrip&aqs=chrome.4.69i57j0l5.6818j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bleednipple Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks Roger. I had hunted around those places, found quite a bit about installation etc and I also got sent some notes by Terratrip's UK office. But surprisingly nothing (that I could find) in terms of basic user instructions! Maybe they just don't exist at this point. Still, I'm loathe to just poke buttons as I don't want to lose the calibration as currently set up for the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bleednipple Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks Tim. There isn't a user manual specifically for the 'old model' T202 model that I have, rather than the 202Plus which is somewhat different. But I'm piecing together what I think the various buttons on my unit mean/do: [FRZ] freezes readouts (eg for noting a distance run to a waypoint, on the fly) [1] [0] [2] selects the sensor in use (in my case I only have one, on the speedo cable). Can't see why you'd want to select 0='no sensor' but I'm sure there's a good reason... [+] runs digits forward, [-] runs backwards (for re-tracing from a wrong slot turn-around) [CAL] Calibrate mode... [F] for adjusting the calibration settings. The manuals give some steer on this although I probably now need to get out and play with it. I think I need to set it to 100 then run a measured mile (/km) then reset the CAL parameter to the end-of-run display value. Thanks to Google Earth for their map measuring tool. Lots of fun ahead!

RogerH Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi Nigel, have you seen this one http://www.rallyracingnews.com/manuals/terratrip.html Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bleednipple Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks Roger that's a great resource. Seems to confirm my take on all the functions. I'll take the car out tomorrow and see if it all works that way! Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TorontoTim Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Excellent. Great choice of car too, obviously! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
