Configuration - Quick Start

This section is for users who are familiar with the MoTeC system of lap timers
and briefly covers the configuration required to connect the BR2 to various
MoTeC devices without the presence of split beacons.

More detailed information is available in the Configuration section.

ADL (using CAN)

The CAN connection method is the recommended method for connecting the
BR2 to the ADL and is detailed here.

The beacon Mode and ID do not need to be set in the BR2, instead they are
set in the ADL. This is possible because the BR2 informs the ADL of all
beacons that it sees, this allows the ADL to decide which beacon to use.

The BR2 can also be connected using the Switched Output method, as
detailed in the Configuration section.

BR2 Configuration

Normally the configuration does not need to be changed since CAN operation
is the factory default and the Mode and ID do not need to be entered in the
BR2.

ADL Dash Manager Version

Ensure that the Dash Manager Install is version 2.10F2 or higher and that the
latest firmware has been sent to the ADL.

ADL Lap Time and Number Setup

Set the Beacon Type to ‘BR2 (on CAN)’ and set the Mode and ID to match
the Transmitter.

ADL BR2 CAN Communications Template

The ADL must have the BR2 CAN communications template loaded. The
template can be loaded in the Inputs | Communications Setup on one of the
CAN tabs.
