Track and Field Timing System

freelap Track and Field Timing System

Welcome to Freelap World!
Congratulation in thinking outside the box and providing your team with a tool that will truly maximize their training experience!
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Freelap® timing system is based on the emission and detection of electromagnetic fields and consists mainly of three elements:
TRANSMITTERS
Placed along the course, they are coded (START, LAP or FINISH) and emit electromagnetic fields.
CHIP
Worn by the athlete, it detects the pulses of electromagnetic fields as the athlete passes the transmitters, and measures time intervals between each transmitter.
MYFREELAP APP
When the athlete passes a FINISH transmitter, the timing data is automatically recorded and instantly transmitted via Bluetooth to your mobile device via MyFreelap app. Data can also be checked and exported on a computer via your myfreelap.com account.

ATTACH YOUR FXCHIP BLE

Attach the FxChip BLE to the belt of the athlete’s short using his attachment clip (provided). It must imperatively be attached to the waist, centered in the alignment of the navel and positioned vertically.
The FxChip BLE turns on automatically when moved, and turns off after 10 minutes of inactivity.

PLACE YOUR TRANSMITTERS

Transmitters must be 0,7 second apart. / Max. 11 transmistters on your course. TX PAD PRO
Turn on the transmitter: press the Power button for 1s. The green LED confirms that the transmitter is activated.
Place the Tx Pad Pro on the ground on the start line. Get ready by keeping your finger pressed inside the Start zone of the transmitter.
Remove your finger quickly and start the race. The Tx Pad Pro’s led will blink and it will instantly start the timer of your transponder.
TX JUNIOR PRO
Turn on the transmitter: Press the Power button for 2s.
Make short presses on the button to select the desired code: LAP = intermediate transmitter / FINISH = finish transmitter. Each press of the central button switches it to the next code.
Place the Tx Junior Pro on the ground (do not raise them), at the edge of the track, less than 1.5m from the athlete’s pass, and 80cm after the desired distance.
The Tx Junior Pro can cover 2 lanes. /!\ Do not superimpose magnetic fields: To time on 4 lanes, 2 transmitters are enough: 1 to cover the lane n°1 and n°2, and 1 other to cover the lanes n°3 and n°4.
