Vehicle lap receiver (infra-red)
Infra-red receiver which is to be mounted on the vehicle.
The wall beacon transmits a bright beam of coded flashes of infra red light. When the vehicle infra-red receiver mounted on the vehicle passes the correctly coded light pulses it will trigger its signal to indicate to the on-vehicle systems that the start/finish line has been crossed. Having the logged data provided with this location information allows the systems to calculate lap-time, lap distance and relative position on the lap and so generate split laps and sector timing.
One wall beacon can trigger multiple vehicle sensors. The vehicle sensor will typically detect the first correctly coded signal found and then ignore any other beacons detected within 10 seconds
Fitting
Mount the unit on the motorcycle / vehicle bodywork facing the lap beacon. Mount at 90 degrees to the direction of travel and attempt to keep the unit level. Visualize the position of the wall beacon and attempt to align the two, to be pointing directly at each other. Direct sunlight on either the receiver or wall beacon will cause the communication strength to be affected. Use Velcro on the base of the unit or another method to fix the unit firmly.
Operation
When power the red indicator will light. On detection the indicator will flash while the detection is underway. The output will trigger high or low (model dependant) on detection and will maintain the output state for 2 seconds. Ensure that the window is kept clean and free from obstructions.
