freelap V140623 PowerUnit and SpaceUnit

Product Information

The PowerUnit & SpaceUnit is a versatile transmitter of the Freelap timing system. It can be quickly set as a START, LAP, or FINISH transmitter. The PowerUnit emits a magnetic field that is automatically detected by your transponder during its passage. It is associated with an antenna flag called the SpaceUnit, which provides a wider detection zone of 6 meters.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Prerequisites:
   The PowerUnit & SpaceUnittransmitter is a part of the Freelap timing system. To get your timing data, you must attach the transponder to the elastic band of the rider’s mask and use the MyFreelap app (refer to thecorresponding user manuals).

2. Get to know the PowerUnit

3. Install the PowerUnit & SpaceUnit.

   • Take the SpaceUnit out of its packaging, the ellipse will take shape itself.
   • Join the 2 central axes, fitting them together to stiffen the structure.
   • Connect the SpaceUnit to the Tx port of the PowerUnit.
   • Insert the SpaceUnit into its base or Mx Pic(and plant the Mx Pic in the ground).

4. Turn on and set the PowerUnit.

   • Press 2s on the Power button to turn on the transmitter.
   • Press on the Set button to select the Tx mode. Each press of the Set button switches you to the next mode. The LED of the Tx mode must flash.
   • Then, make short presses on the Power button to select the desired code (START = start transmitter / LAP = intermediate transmitter / FINISH = finish transmitter). Each short press of the Power button switches you to the next code. The led of the selected code flashes.

5. Place the PowerUnit & SpaceUnit on the track:
   

   • Place the transmitter on the ground on the side and parallel to the track. The Freelap logo must face the track.
   • It must be placed at max. 6m of the rider’s passage (so that the transponder of the rider crosses the detection field of the transmitter)
     Placing the transmitter at any other location or position may result in inaccuracies or non-detection.

6. Associate it with other Freelap transmitters:
   To make Freelap timing system work, you must have a transmitter set with the code FINISH on your track.
   PowerUnit is a versatile transmitter. So, you can use several PowerUnit transmitters on your track (set as START, LAP or FINISH transmitter).
   You can also use it in combination with other Freelap transmitters (e.g. you can use a Mx Start as START transmitter).

   • The transmitters must be minimum 0.7 second appart.
   • Your track must contain a maximum of 11 transmitters.
   • For an optimal accuracy, take the start 15m before the 1st transmitter
     

Example – standard system: 15 m
