DriftBox displays an angle > 10

when the vehicle is not drifting

 Check the „Alignment‟ of the DriftBox; see the alignment section of Setup Menu in this

manual for further information.

 If the road has a severe camber / gradient this will slightly affect the Drift angle calculation.

 If you are in an area of poor reception quality then this will affect the Drift angle calculation.

The Drift angle reading appears too big or too small

 Check the „Alignment‟ of DriftBox; see the alignment section of Setup Menu in this manual

for further information.

 If the road has a severe camber or gradient this will affect the Drift angle calculation.

 If you are in an area of poor reception quality then this will affect the Drift angle calculation.

 If the Drift angle is consistently incorrect in good conditions then the YAW sensor may need

to be zero‟d, but this is very unusual.

To check whether you need to zero the YAW sensor:

Use the Yaw sensor diagnostic screen and sit DriftBox very still on a flat surface. The angle

reading will change slowly over time. If the angle changes every three seconds or less, go to the

Diagnostic screen, press and hold the RESET button for two seconds then follow the on-screen

instructions. The process will take thirty seconds, during which the unit must be kept very still. If the

sensor is subjected to a sudden movement, the procedure will be cancelled.

Note: If you wish to cancel the procedure, press any key other than OK to return to the diagnostic

screen.

The Alignment Bars are in the wrong position when DriftBox is held flat

If the horizontal and vertical alignment bars, which are used as a guide to correctly align DriftBox in

the windscreen, are no longer positioned correctly when DriftBox is held on a flat surface they may

need resetting. To do this, hold DriftBox very still on a flat surface when in this screen, and press

and hold reset. The alignment bars will then be repositioned in the middle of the DriftBox display

and can once again be used as a guide to DriftBox alignment.

No data files are appearing on the SD card

Make sure the SD card is not full. If your DriftBox does not beep twice when you insert the card,

then you may have to re-format the card - you should use the utility in DriftBox Tools. If purchasing

a new SD card, ensure that it is of high quality from a reputable manufacture
