3. Check the Connected Device (for ADL)

3A. Check the Lap Time

Use the following procedure to check the Lap Time on the ADL with the
vehicle stationary:

a. Take the Transmitter to a point directly in line with the Receiver and not

more than 40m (130ft) away.

b. The Transmitter signal must be completely removed from the Receiver.

This is best done by disconnecting the Transmitter power.

c. Aim the Transmitter at the Receiver and connect the Transmitter power.

The Receiver LED should emit a bright flash when it recognises the
transmitter signal. The ADL Running Lap Time (if configured) should start
incrementing as soon as the transmitter is detected, however the Lap
Time may stay at zero if this is the first beacon signal since the Lap Time
was reset. Note that the Mode and ID must be set to match the
Transmitter in the ADL configuration (for CAN operation).

d. To record a Lap Time the Transmitter signal must again be completely

removed from the Receiver by disconnecting the Transmitter power. Wait
for a period exceeding the Beacon Ignore Time then aim the Transmitter
at the Receiver and reconnect the power. The Receiver should emit a
bright flash, the ADL Lap Time should update, and the Running Lap Time
(if configured) should go to zero and start counting up again.

Note: the Lap Time will only be recorded if the time between signals was
greater than the Beacon Ignore Time (usually 5 seconds but may be more
depending on the ADL setup).

Possible Problems

If the test above does not work then check the following:

a. The Dash Manager and Firmware Version must be 2.10F or

higher.

b. Ensure that the latest ADL Firmware was sent to the ADL.

c. Ensure that the BR2 CAN Template is loaded in the

Communications setup on one of the CAN tabs.

d. Ensure that the Beacon channel is ticked on in the CAN

Communications template.
