RaceAmerica 5843 Wireless Speed Trap
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Wireless Speed Trap replaces track cables
normally used to connect track sensors to the
timing system. Model 5843 T-Link3 units manage
the speed detection based on the trap length. The
results are sent wirelessly to a Digital Display
and/or a PC.
The wireless T-Link3 units operate over a wide
range of conditions. Optimal conditions are line
of sight between sending and receiving units and
six feet of ground clearance. Range can exceed
one mile. High gain antennas can be utilized for
greater distances or noisy environments.
The speed trap can be activated from either direc-
tion; an automatic reset function occurs if both
beams are not tripped within four seconds.
Diagnostics such as Beam alignment, RF signal
integrity, and Battery Level are available from the
display or PC.
