Lap timing sensor
Lap timing sensor (optional)
(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 (supplied) with an M18 x 1 mm thread.
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
positioned 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.
Note that after detecting a signal, the system does not recognise any
further signals from beacons for a period of ten seconds.
