Connect GPS cable to GPS INPUT serial port on back of instrument. The Veris instrument is
designed to accept GPS input in NMEA format via an RS232 connector. Note: GPS signals are
frequently affected by electrical interference from magneto electrical systems. If your vehicle uses a
magneto, consider powering the Veris instrument with a 12-volt battery or converting to an alternator
system.
The Veris 2000XA is shipped with an accessory power plug. If an alternative connection is desired,
make sure that the unit is properly connected to a power connection that is not controlled by the
ignition switch. If connecting directly to the battery, we suggest a 3 amp. in-line fuse is installed
between the battery and the instrument. Important Do not allow moisture to enter the
instrument, and do not pass strong magnets near the unit.
Signal Testing The Veris 2000XA is shipped with an Instrument Test Load (Part No. 10447) that
will enable you to quickly check the instrument to ensure that it is functioning properly. To perform this
test, do the following:
1) Disconnect the signal cable from the 9-pin (signal) terminal on the instrument.
2) Connect the test load to the signal terminal.
3) Switch on the unit and go into “data acquisition” mode.
4) The display should show: (approx.)
