RaceAmerica Model 2650 Series XL Advanced

TRACK SENSORS/CABLING DIAGRAM 

Fig 4  Outside cables

Single Beam Stage/Start with Speed Detection

NOTES: 

Cable length between XL Advanced console and starting line is 100 feet.

Speed Trap distance is configured in the timer at 10 feet, 66 feet or 20 meters and saved in the system.  Connectors for 60 FT 

and Speed Options are on the cable even if they are not purchased with the system. Unpurchased options must be disabled in 

the console configuration setup.

Track cable lengths can be from 132’ to 1320’ as required.  Cables can be routed down the center of the track or outside.  

Lengths of 500 feet or more are broken into segments.   Cable winders are convenient for long lengths.

Peripheral devices such as Printers, PCs and Scoreboards can operate up to 25 feet on RS232 communications; conversion 

to RS422 communications (with 4500A PODs) allows placement at greater distances.  Communication to scoreboards is by 

a RS422 port on the console.  Wireless RF Links are also available for remote peripherals.

Pre-Stage and Guard Beam options can replace the standard start sensors and emitters (5158/5058).
