Lap Timing Sensor (optional)
The lap timing sensor is actuated by an infra-red beacon
positioned at the side of the circuit. The sensor is fixed to a rigid
bracket mounted at a convenient position on the outside of the
vehicle where it is able to detect the signals from the beacon.
• It is secured by two nuts with M18 x 1mm threads.
• This sensor must be positioned horizontally and square to
the axis of the vehicle.
• In order to detect the signals from the beacon, it must be
situated outside the vehicle.
• It should, if possible, be positioned so that other vehicles
that are being overtaken (or are overtaking) at the moment
your vehicle passes the beacon do not block the signal.
After detecting a signal, the system does not recognise any
further signals from beacons for a period of ten seconds.
