Range
The MoTeC Lap Beacon has a range of up to 25m (80ft). The range depends
on the alignment of the transmitter and receiver.
For operation up to 25m (80ft) both the transmitter and receiver must be
aligned within 2
° of optimum.
For operation up to 20m (65ft) both the transmitter and receiver must be
aligned within 5
° of optimum.
• Note: Do not place the receiver behind window glass as this can reduce
the range substantially.
ID Number
The MoTeC Lap Beacon has 1000 different ID numbers. The ID number
allows the beacon receiver to ignore all transmitters other than one with the
same ID number.
The ID number is selected by setting the Mode, Tens & Units switches in the
transmitter and receiver to the same numbers.
