Rocky Mountain Radar KAT-TRAXX - Manual (Page 7)

Warning: Changing any of this SET UP between US and
Metric deletes all stored data in the memory and user’s setting
such as vehicle weight and vehicle correction factor. Please do
SET-UP process whenever you change it.
�Vehicle Weight
You must enter the weight of your vehicle. This information is
available in your vehicle’s manual. You should add the weight
of the driver, passengers and cargo plus any additional
equipment added to the vehicle.
Press the UP or DOWN button until the correct weight is
shown. Holding either button for 1 second causes the weight to
change rapidly. Press Start button to store the setting.
�Horsepower Factor
This is a correction factor you can set for an approximate
conversion from wheel horsepower to engine horsepower.
Factory default is 1.00.
The TRAXX is affected by drive train losses, rolling resistance
and aerodynamic drag which determine the vehicle’s
performance. Manufacturers’ ratings list a higher engine
horsepower which is not reduced by these other real-world
factor so you may need to increase the wheel horsepower
readings to approximately correlate to higher engine
horsepower.
After storing vehicle weight, it automatically goes to
Horsepower Factor. Display flashes previously set value.
Press the UP and DOWN buttons until the vehicle correction
shows in the display. Press Start button to store the setting.
�Horsepower Speed Range
You must select the speed range for horsepower calculations.
The TRAXX will calculate the average horsepower over this
range and the peak horsepower within this range.
The setup item HP MIN SPEED sets the speed that the TRAXX
starts measuring horsepower. The setup item HP MAX SPEED
sets the speed that the TRAXX stops measuring horsepower.
After storing horsepower factor, it automatically goes to this
Speed Range. Display flashes previously set value. Set the
minimum speed for the average horsepower measurement by
pressing the UP or DOWN buttons. Press START button to
store it. Set the maximum speed for the average horsepower
measurement by pressing the UP or DOWN buttons. Press
Start button to store it.
