Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How many transmitters can be placed on the course?
A: You can place a maximum of 11 transmitters along the trajectory, ensuring they are at least 0.7s (10m) apart.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Freelap® timing system is based on the emission and detection of electromagnetic fields and consists mainly of three elements:

freelap-FxChip-BLE-Track-and-Field-Timing-Syste- (2)CHIP
Worn by the athlete, it measures time intervals between each transmitter.

Placed along the course, they are coded (START, LAP or FINISH) and emit electromagnetic fields.

Upon crossing the FINISH transmitter, the timing data is instantly transmitted via Bluetooth and saved on  your mobile device via the MyFreelap app. Data can also be checked and exported on a computer via your myfreelap.com account

 CLIP YOUR FXCHIP BLE

Clip the FxChip BLE to the athlete’s short or to the FxBelt. The chip must imperatively be centered in the alignment of the navel, positioned vertically.

 TURN ON & PLACE YOUR TRANSMITTERS

Transmitters must be minimum 0.7s (10m) apart. Maximum 11 transmistters on your trajectory.

Tx Pad Pro
Turn on the transmitter: press the Power button for 1s.
The green LED confirms that the transmitter is activated.
Place the Tx Pad Pro on the ground on the start line. Get ready by keeping your finger pressed inside the Start zone of the transmitter.
Remove your finger quickly and start the race. The Tx Pad Pro’s led will blink and it will instantly trigger the start.

  • Turn on the transmitter: press the Power button for 1s.
  • Make short presses on the button to select the desired code: START / LAP (intermediate transmitter) / FINISH. Each press of the button switches it to the next code.
  • Place the Tx Junior Pro on the ground, at the edge of the track, less than 1.5m from the athlete’s trajectory, and  80cm after the desired distance (except for flying start).
  • The Tx Junior Pro can cover 2 lanes. Do not superimpose magnetic fields:
  • To time on 4 lanes, 2 transmitters are enough: 1 to cover the lane n°1 and n°2, and 1 other to cover the lanes n°3 and n°4.
