1. GENERAL

Edition 28 September 2005

C-giant is used for measuring during rallies. It is an indispensable instrument for the professional co-driver. The instrument has been developed by Corabla after many years of experience of a co-drivers special needs in his stressful situation. Therefore Cgiant has all the functions that will make a co-driver perform his duties RAPIDLY,

SECURELY and EFFICIENTLY. by Coralba Sweden .

It is basically a distance- and speedo-meter for the car. Furthermore it has a lot of useful processing facilities for the co-driver. The precision of the instrument is reached by an effective but simple calibrating procedure. After calibration C-giant shows correct values to a tolerance typically better than 0.03%.

C-giant can also work as a precision fuel gauge just by connecting the instrument to the standard fuel sender of the car and calibrating it in a simple way. by Coralba Sweden

.

C-giant is available with a communication connector (option) where you may connect a number of remote display units (C-view), speed

BACK NEXT threshold indicator or a computer. Any combination may be used at the same time.

A complete set of C-giant consists of:

• instrument

• cables

• interface to the speed sensor of the car or a separate speed sensor

• documentation

NOTE! Check before mounting the C-giant that you have got the correct parts for your car.


2. FITTING C-GIANT

2.1. Fitting the instrument

Fitting the C-giant into the vehicle is extremely simple. First you have to fit the instrument itself. Fitting of C-giant in the vehicle compartment is done with its two fastening bolts (M4x10) at the back of the unit. The bolts may be exchanged to any other M4 bolts providing they are the same length.

2.2. Connecting speed signal

The speed signal interface may be of different types:

- Interface for a car with electronic speedometer (PGE-.. different for different cars)

- Wheel speed sensor, which may also be used on a propshaft or a driveshaft

- Rotating speed sensor to be connected to a mechanical speedometer or with a universal mounting kit to cut the speedocable (DP013)

Depending on which type is required for your car the speed sensor is fitted in different ways.

Page 4 C-giant


Make sure great care is taken in connecting C-giant as damage may occur to the unit if it is connected incorrectly. The system should have negative ground.

• Red cable (power) is connected to +12 volt directly from the battery through a fuse of about 1 A.

• Brown cable is connected to the negative pole directly on battery.

• Yellow cable is connected to a reverse light so that the trip will be supplied with +12 volt when the car is driven in reverse. If this is not possible the yellow cable must be connected to ground. It may also be used as a programmable remote control.

• White cable may be connected to a remote reset button. TRIP 1 is reset to zero when the cable is connected to ground even if TRIP 1 is not shown in the display. No other register is influenced by this. It may also be used as a programmable remote control.

• Black cable is connected to the fuel gauge.

Make sure all connections are done professionally. The cables should be fixed to avoid damage. Most disturbances in function that occur are caused by poor connections to the power supply.

After having carried out these functions simply connect each part together and you will be ready to use C-giant.

When the trip meter is connected it must be calibrated. See page 21 and page 22.

When connecting the cable to the instrument, see to that the springs both go into locking position.


2.3.1. Connections for yellow remote control

The yellow cable is meant to be

+12 volt connected to the reverse light as default

Yellow remote control

< 10 kOhm

Yellow cable to reverse counting when the vehicle is reversed. However for a rallycar it is more convenient to use it as a second remote control (See page 25). For this reason the remote control for the yellow cable can not be connected in the same way as for the white remote cable. It must have a pull up resistor of max. 10 kohm. This resistor is integrated inside the remote control from Jemba.

2.3.2. Connections for fuel

The black cable should be connected to the standard fuel sender of your car. If you remove the standard fuel gauge you must fit a resistor instead of it. This may be ordered from Jemba. See page 22 for calibration.

3. SAFETY ASPECTS

Safety aspects concerning fitting of accessories inside a car must be taken in to account when fitting C-giant. The instrument must be fitted in a way that takes into account applicable laws and regulations and so that the risk of damages in the case of an accident is minimised.

Page 6 C-giant


4. FUNCTION

The panel has three display windows:

• The main display with six figures

• Upper left and lower left displays with four figures each.

The keyboard has four different kinds of keys:

• Selector keys: TRIP 1, TRIP 2, SPEED, TIME, FUEL, PILOT, CAL,

OPTION which will select different registers and display its value in the main display.

• Operator keys: SET, ADD/-, HALT, +, RESET which will operate on the value in the selected register.

• Display keys: Arrow up, Arrow down, SPLIT which will operate on the display mode.

• Numeric keys: 0

−9 which will switch to their numeric functions automatically when a numeric input is required.

Furthermore a BREAK key will always bring you back to a default setting of the mode of operation.

The basic philosophy for C-giant is that when you press any of the keys you do not influence any other register in the instrument other than the one that you see in the main display. The register in the main display is called the current register. While pressing a key to select a new register the main display shows a flash text telling you which current register will be shown next. Some keys have more than one register.

They are selected by repeatedly pressing the key.

When the instrument is not in use it will automatically switch itself into an idling mode where the display and the keyboard are totally dark. When C-giant is operated or the car is moved it is automatically turned on again. If for some reason you want to have the display turned off while driving - just press TRIP 1 twice. See page 15.

Page 14 C-giant


5. OPERATION

5.1. Distances measurement (Trip l, Trip 2 and Trip 3)

When measuring distances C-giant has got three registers for this purpose, TRIP l,

TRIP 2 and TRIP 3. They may be used individually with separate counting directions plus (+) or minus (-). 'HALT' will stop the current register. 'SPLIT' freezes the values of all registers. If the measurement is to be done in the negative direction you just press the (-) key. If the yellow cable is connected to the reverse light the trip meters automatically switch counting direction when the vehicle is going in reverse.

5.1.1. Pre-set.

If you want to start measuring from a point at a known distance it is easy to set that value into a trip register. Select the trip to be used (TRIP l, TRIP 2 or TRIP 3), press the SET button and feed the value into the register with the numeric keys O - 9. The input is confirmed with the SET key. Now your measuring starts from the set distance.

If you require the measurement to start from a negative value the figures must be preceded by a minus sign. If you change your mind it is possible to get the original value by pressing RESET instead of SET.

5.1.2. Align trip to road book

The registers may also be adjusted with an arbitrary value. See section SET. If a junction is passed at 43.67 km according to the road book but the trip shows a different value then it is easy to adjust the trip very accurately without stopping the car. Reset the trip at the junction. Carry on driving and press SET and input the desired value

(43670) with the numeric keys. Finish the input with (ADD/-). When you terminate the input with the (ADD/-) key that means that the current value is to be adjusted with the input value. The result is that the measurement takes place from the junction with the correct value.

5.1.4. Automatic measurements on special stages (SS)

By repeated pressing on 'TRIP 2' you will get access to a number of registers that will give you automatic measurements on special stages. This is a great relief for the codriver at the start and finish of special stages. By resetting TRIP 2 the automatic measurement of the length, time, top speed and average speed is initiated. The measurements will start automatically when the car is driven the first metre . When

TRIP 2 shows its first metre a watch is started and from elapsed time and travelled distance the average speed is calculated continuously. At the finish of the stage you just press SPLIT and can then read the different values by pressing TRIP 2 repeatedly.

Except for maximum speed it is not possible to control this function in any other way than by changing TRIP 2. The maximum speed may be reset to zero separately. See also below for monitoring time of arrival.

5.1.5. Estimated time of arrival

By storing the length of your current road section (into the register for .EtA.diS) you can get your estimated time of arrival at either current speed or average speed. This function is useful when accessing the required speed on a particular road section and also working out the servicing time available. Select the function by repeatedly pressing TRIP 2.

You can also input the required time of arrival to give out the required average speed and your margin in time. This is done by inputting the required time into the register for .EtA.-A. and reading the required speed in the register for .A.SPEEd. Your margin in time in respect to your required time of arrival (positive or negative) at current speed is read in the register for .EtA.Cur. This function is indicated with a flashing indicator in the TRIP 2 key when you select .EtA.-A, .EtA.Cur or .A.SPEEd. This mode of operation is aborted by selecting .EtA.-A. and pressing the RESET key.

Also see page 16 for automatic SS measurement. xx.xx.xx

5.2. Speed measurement (SPEED)

If you want to see your current speed, simply press SPEED. The speed can be read in km/h or MPH depending on how you have set up the unit. See page 24 for set up. The value of the speed is frozen by SPLIT in the same way as for all other registers in the instrument. SPEED is also used to input desired speed for the PILOT to work with.

See page 20.

5.2.1. Speed threshold (OPTION)

This option is aimed to get an indication when you exceed a pre-set speed threshold.

You may select it by pressing SPEED three times. The value may be set to a desired value using the SET procedure. As soon as your speed exceeds that value an output signal is activated.


5.3. Set

As mentioned previously SET is used to set any register to a desired value. The register to be set is selected by pressing the appropriate key and thus making it visible in the display. To set the value simply press SET and you will see the figures in the display flash. This indicates that by using the numeric keys you may enter a new value. A negative value may be entered by preceding the value with (-). The input is finished by pressing SET again. The value is then visible in the display.

NOTE! if for any reason you wish to retrieve the original value

−

say if you made a mistake simply press RESET instead of the SET-key.

Adjusting a value

This function will adjust the value of any register that may be set with the normal SET procedure. Start a normal SET procedure by pressing 'SET'. Input the value to add but in stead of confirming the input with 'SET' you confirm with the ADD key. Then the fed value is added (including a preceding minus sign if the value is negative) to the current register. If the register is to be decreased a minus sign (-) is fed in as a first sign in the value. In SET mode '-' will be interpreted as a minus sign if it is the first key after 'SET' otherwise it is interpreted as 'ADD'.

Example: Align trip to road book

You pass a junction at 34.98 km and you want to align C-giant to that value. At the junction you press RESET and carry on without stopping. Then you press SET, 34980,

ADD/- and your input is added to the current value of the trip regardless of the distance you have travelled in the meantime. So the trip is aligned to the road book at the junction at 34.98 km.

NOTE! 'RESET' will reset .SS.Hour to zero if TRIP 2 is selected!

5.4. Time measuring (TIME)

The clocks may be used as an ordinary clock or a stop watch. It may stop (HALT), count up (+), down (-), freeze value (SPLIT), set or adjust value (SET) in the same way as described for TRIP above. All the features work the same on HOUR 1 and

HOUR 2.

If the clock is running too fast or too slow it is possible to calibrate it. See page 22.

5.5. Fuel gauge (FUEL)

This function will give information about the amount of fuel left in the tank. This feature must be calibrated before it is used. See page 22.

It is also possible to monitor the amount of fuel over the last 99 km's by using '+' and '-

'. For each touch you will get the "number of km since" to the left in the display and the

'amount of fuel at that time' to the right. This is important if you suspect a faulty fuel sender - the amount of fuel in the tank should have decreased constantly! It will also give you a rough idea of the fuel consumption.


5.6. Monitoring average speed (PILOT)

The Pilot is a useful tool to monitor your actual position in respect of the scheduled time. This is important when the road sections are long or some service is required on the car. By storing the required average speed into the SPEED register the time gained or time delayed is read in the PILOT register. The sequence is:

This input may be done any time before start by setting time to start as gained time.

Then the pilot will count down to zero at starting time.

Set the counting direction of the PILOT register to the desired counting direction with

(+), (-) or HALT. NOTE!! These three keys only have an impact on the measuring of distance in the PILOT, not on time measurement!. An implication of this is that if you make a mistake and drive one part on a road section on a wrong road and you have to go back to the correct section again you just set the PILOT to (-) when you go

The PILOT calculates continuously the time gained or time delayed in respect to the stored average speed. If you are delayed the result is shown with a "-" in front of the time value. The format of the result is hour.min.sec (hh.mm.ss).

5.7. Calibrate C-giant, distance (CAL)

To enable the C-giant to measure accurately it must be calibrated. The dimensions of tyres, air pressure and transmission ratios influences the performance and therefore it is important to calibrate C-giant if these are altered.

If this is the first time you calibrate the unit then convince yourself that you have selected the desirable display mode (metres, feet, miles....km/h, MPH....). If not see page 24 for set up.

Then check tire pressure and inflate, as necessary, to manufacturers specifications..

Then you need to know the exact distance of your calibrating distance (this may be any value but for the best results it should be in excess of 0.999 km 999 feet or 0.999 miles). If you do not have access to an exact distance the local police force are usually quite prepared to advise you of a number of sites.

Select any trip meter or SPEED

Drive the calibrating distance

Selected register

".drivE." and the calibrating constant flash alternatively. xxxx m

Press SET (start input) ".LEngth"

Enter the length of calibrating distance xxx.xxx

Press SET (store with SET-key) New calibrating constant.


You have now calibrated your C-giant for distance and speed. If the calibrating constant is greater than 100 000 you should contact your supplier to get a different interface for your speed signal. The display mode may be changed as described at page

24 without calibrating the system again.

If the calibrating sequence has been carried out correctly and the distance used for this calibration was correct you will usually be able to measure to an accuracy better than

0.03% (30 cm/km).

Check the accuracy by travelling over your calibrating distance whilst measuring its length. If all factors are correct the length should correlate exactly.

Even if C-giant is disconnected from the power supply it will keep its calibrating constant in memory. Note the calibrating constant on a piece of paper together with information about current transmission ratios and tyres. Then you don't need to drive to get the instrument calibrated next time you use the same configuration. The value may of course be changed by using the standard SET procedure as described on page

18.

5.8. Calibrate C-giant (TIME)

The time is set with the normal SET procedure as described on page 18. If however time is running too fast or too slow it is possible to calibrate time. Select 'TIME' and then 'CAL'. Use '+' and '-' to set the number of seconds you want to adjust the time by over every 24 hour period. When the correct number is set you must store the value with 'SET'. To resume without changing - use 'RESET' instead of 'SET'.

Now C-giant is calibrated. Even if C-giant is disconnected from the power supply it will keep its calibrating constant in memory.

5.9. Calibrate C-giant (FUEL)

To calibrate the fuel gauge you must first of all select FUEL and check if its shown value is different when the engine is running compared to when it is stopped. If the values are different C-giant should be calibrated with the engine running. Start with the fuel tank almost empty. Then the amount of fuel in the tank must be stored in Cgiant at the same time as it is filled up. This is done five times during filling. Note that a lot of gauges give a constant signal from empty tank to about five litres. This is because the float needs a certain level to float. This causes the C-giant to give a constant value.

As the tank is almost empty you feed a "0"

Repeat until the tank is filled up and five values are stored.

NOTE!! If you get the error indication Ad.-Err it means that the voltage from the fuel sender was unchanged for two calibration points. Is the ignition switched on?

If you get the error indication Fu.-Err it means that you didn't increase the amount of fuel between two calibration points.

If you want to abort the sequence once you have started it

− just press RESET before the sequence ends and the old values are restored.

Now the fuel gauge is calibrated. Even if C-giant is disconnected from the power supply it keeps it calibrating constant in its memory.

5.12. Option

C-giant has got two remote lines (yellow and white cable) that may be used with default functions or with definitions made by the user. See page 5 and 6 on how to connect. 'OPTION' lets you define the functions for these control lines. The indicator in the key is on when at least one remote line is defined by the user. To clear a definition you just select the appropriate remote line (white or yellow) with 'OPTION' and press 'RESET'. The default functions are:

• White - reset TRIP 1 regardless of whether it is the current register or not

• Yellow - reverse the current counting direction of the trip meter.

To change the function of a remote control you just take the following actions:

Speed and distance indicate negative values

If the values indicate negative values when driving ahead the reason is that the yellow wire is connected to a positive voltage. This is the case if a remote button is connected to yellow wire and it is quite normal. As soon as the remote button is defined to its desired functions the default function (reverse) is disabled and the minus sign disappeare.

At speed C-giant stops counting for a while, shows ”C-rally” then works again

The most probable reason is that the pulse rate from the speed sensor is too high. As a result the calibration value is over 100 000. The solution is to contact your dealer and replace the sensor interface or reduce the pulse rate to less than 10 pulses per meter

(1600 per mile).

A less likely reason is a bad connection for the power supply (plus as well as minus).
