4. Product Overview & Features
The RYSJM GPS Speedometer provides comprehensive information on its clear TFT display. Key elements include:
- SOG (Speed Over Ground): Displays your current speed.
- TRIP: Shows the single mileage for the current journey, which resets when the power is turned off.
- ODO (Odometer): Records the accumulated total mileage, which is saved even when the power is off.
- Battery Voltage: Indicates the current voltage of your vehicle's battery (9-32VDC).
- COG (Course Over Ground): Provides your current heading as a clockwise angle from true north.
- Orientation Pointer: An 8-direction compass for easy navigation.

5. Setup
5.1 Physical Installation
The GPS Speedometer is designed for easy installation. Refer to the dimensions below for proper fitting into your dashboard or mounting location.

Image: Front and back dimensions of the GPS Speedometer, showing a front diameter of 97mm (3.81in), a depth of 56mm (2.2in), and a back diameter of 85mm (3.35in).
5.2 Wiring Connection
Connect the speedometer to your vehicle's power supply as shown in the diagram below. Ensure correct polarity to prevent damage.
- 1 Black: Ground (-)
- 2 Red: 9-30VDC (Power Supply)
Additionally, connect the provided GPS antenna to the designated port on the back of the speedometer. The GPS antenna should be mounted in a location with a clear view of the sky for optimal signal reception.

6. Operation
6.1 Power On and GPS Signal Acquisition
Upon powering on, the GPS speedometer will automatically begin searching for a GPS signal. During this process:
- The display will show a counting sequence (from 1 to 300).
- The text "GPS..." will flicker.
- Once a GPS signal is acquired, the "GPS" symbol will illuminate steadily, and the speed will be displayed.
- If no GPS signal is found within 300 seconds, an error code "E02" will be displayed.
6.2 Changing Speed Units
To switch between speed units (KM/H, MPH, Knots), quickly press the 'Mode' button located on the back of the device.
6.3 Setting ODO Data
To enter the ODO (accumulated mileage) data setting mode:
- Press and hold the 'Mode' button for 4 seconds.
- While holding, the ODO data will begin to increase.
- Release the button to pause the increase.
- Press and hold again to continue increasing the data, or release and quickly press again to decrease the data.
- The data will be recorded and saved once the button is released for more than a few seconds.
Note: The TRIP (single mileage) data automatically resets after power is turned off, while the ODO (accumulated mileage) data is saved.
7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your RYSJM GPS Speedometer, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the display and housing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the screen or finish.
- Waterproof Feature: The device has an IP67 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. While it can work normally in water, avoid prolonged submersion or exposing it to high-pressure water jets.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the speedometer in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your GPS Speedometer, refer to the following common problems and their solutions:
| Error Code / Symptom | Description | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| E01 | No GPS signal found after startup. | Ensure the GPS antenna is properly connected and has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Move to an open area if indoors or under heavy cover. |
| E02 | GPS signal lost during operation. | Check the GPS antenna connection. Relocate the antenna to a position with better sky visibility. Signal can be temporarily lost in tunnels, dense urban areas, or under heavy foliage. |
| E03 | Device failed. | This indicates a critical internal error. Try power cycling the device. If the error persists, contact customer support. |
| Display is blank or not turning on. | No power supply to the device. | Check the power wiring (red wire to 9-30VDC, black wire to ground) for secure connections and correct voltage. Verify the vehicle's power source is active. |
