MoTeC Overview 3
Overview
Operation
The Beacon Transmitter emits a narrow infrared beam, which is encoded with
a number that will only be detected by a receiver system with the same
number. There must be no obstacles between the receiver and the
transmitter.
Code Number
The MoTeC Lap Beacon has 1000 different code numbers. The code number
allows the beacon system to ignore all transmitters other than one with the
correct code number.
Recommended Code Number Settings
The Mode switch is used to avoid two teams in different race categories from
using the same beacon code.
• 999 is reserved for a master beacon that can be setup for the use of
anyone at a race meeting.
• Modes E and F are for use with Pi 2 and Pi 4 equipment respectively.
Transmitter
The code number is selected by setting the Mode & ID (Tens & Units)
switches inside the transmitter to the desired number as mentioned above.
To access the switches first disconnect the power then undo the four screws
and remove the front cover of the unit.
Receiver
The BR2 Beacon Receiver has two different connection methods: CAN Bus or
Switched Output. The setup requirements of the Receiver are different
depending on which connection method is used.
Note: DO NOT remove the cover of the BR2, there are no configuration
switches inside.
