UNIPRO – The original Laptimer

Installation 

Your Laptimer is a precision instrument and you should take the necessary time to ensure correct 
installation. A basic rule is to start from the sensors and go back to the Laptimer, never the other 
way. If cables are too long, they should always be looped at the end near the Laptimer. Use 
plenty of strips to fix the cables to the frame. 

DISPLAY UNIT 

The Display Unit is mounted on the steering wheel. Due to the ultra thin Display Unit, you will not 
have any problems with regulations.  
 
 

 

 

First, the Display Unit is mounted on the steering 
wheel.
 Choose a hole that gives a good placement at the 
top of the steering wheel. On some steering wheels, it is 
necessary to make the hole a little bigger. 
Remove the nut, the gray washer and one of the two 
black rubber washers. These parts are mounted on the 
back side of the steering wheel, as shown in figure 1. 

 
It is important to keep the right order of the washers. 
Please follow this sequence: 
Nut – metal washer – gray plastic washer – black rubber 
washer – steering wheel – black rubber washer – Display 
Unit. 
 
Tighten the nut when the display is strait and centered in the 
steering wheel. This picture shows the correct mounted 
Display Unit. 
 

MAIN BOX 

The main box is mounted behind the front cover. The following picture is showing the main box 
and its components.
