The Blunik II PLUS is the newest model, and it is the one with more functions. Also it is the one we are developing the most and which you’ll be able to update when we have new versions. The first version is 5.01.

Functions the Blunik II PLUS has, that Blunik II doesn’t:
Road-book Function/Mode.
When programming a ZR you can enter your road-book distances. Reliable distances you have annotated when performing recons of each ZR.
The Blunik will show you “The #xxx figure” and will indicate the distance to validate.
If you validate the figure you adjust meters. If you don’t validate it does nothing.
This function is combinable with the SPORT CALCULATOR accessory, which will calculate the % and calibration percentages, and will apply them according to the meters you adjust at each vignette.
Time-Distance Function/Mode.
Available as of version 5.04.
Programming ZR with distance and time (instead of average speed and kilometres).
Ideal for regularity tests with irregular tables.
Combinable with the B-Pad accessory.
Improvements in the JP Function/Mode.
Immediate change of JP (imposed tables) to imposed average speed without changing sector.
Accessories.
It admits the use of the new accessory B-DATAFAST. Ideal to enter lots of data in a fast way.
Other differences Blunik II PLUS has that Blunik II doesn’t:
You can adjust meters by directly applying a distance (with the ENTER key).
It warns us of average speed changes, indicating on the screen if the next average speed will be faster or slower than the current one.
It warns us of visual average speed changes, indicating on the screen that we have to press START.
It includes a new manual, which explains all the functions in detail.
Differences in parameters and programming:
