Trackside Infra-Red Lap Beacon (Optional)
The trackside infra-red lap beacon should be located as follows:
•
As near to the start-finish line as possible
•
At the same height as the on-vehicle detector
•
Level, so that it emits a horizontal beam
•
It must be between 6 and 100 feet from the vehicle when
the vehicle passes it
Avoid positioning it so that the sun is directly behind it when it
is being used.
Where the unit is to be used for lengthy periods in very hot,
sunny conditions, it should be protected by shading it from direct
sunlight.
Do not allow water to be sprayed onto the transmitter lenses.
During wet conditions, fit a protective shroud over the beacon.
