– You must add one FINISH transmitter (e.g: 1 Tx Junior Pro transmitter set with the code FINISH), placed 80cm AFTER the desired distance.
– You can add more Freelap transmitters (e.g: 1 Tx Junior Pro transmitter set with the code LAP to get intermediate LAP times), placed 80cm AFTER the desired distance.
• The Tx Pad Pro must be at a minimum time of 0.7 second from the next transmitter.
• Your track must contain a maximum of 11 transmitters.
Example n°1 : Timing 100m (2x50m) – 1 athlete

Placing the transmitters at any other location or
position may result in inaccuracies or non-detection. -
