Route the sensor cable from the motor to the pigtail with the
grey
boot on the
back of the instrument. Secure the cable with cable ties to prevent excessive
movement.
The thermocouple cable is brittle and will break at the flex points
if not properly tied down. It is also good practice to protect the cable with
fuel line.
Beacon Receiver Placement (Optional)
The Digatron beacon receiver is used in conjunction with the Digatron transmitter.
The beacon receiver needs to be mounted on your vehicle with an unobstructed
view of the transmitter. Mount it with the red lens facing where the transmitter
is located, with the longest part of the case protecting the red lens from the sun.
Other racers will rarely interfere with the beacon signal, but mounting the receiver
as high as practical will help to avoid that situation.
Attach the receiver to your vehicle with cable ties or hook and loop material (such
as Velcro). Route the sensor cable to the pigtail with the
white
boot on the back
of the instrument.
Using A Beacon Transmitter (Optional)
When using Digatron SMART beacons, multiple beacons can be on the track at
once. Each SMART beacon can transmit one of 16 different signals. Your
instrument treats all of these signals as lap signals. When the instrument encounters
a beacon signal, it starts recording the race or it stops recording the current lap
and begins a new one. The instrument does allow you to ignore beacon signals
for a set amount of time after receiving a signal.
For more information about ignoring multiple beacons see Appendix B.
