Freelap Track & Field Quick Guide

Revolutionize your training with Freelap!

How It Works

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

CHIP: Worn by the athlete, it measures time intervals between each transmitter.
TRANSMITTERS: Placed along the course, they are coded (START, LAP or FINISH) and emit electromagnetic fields.
MYFREELAP APP: 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.

01. Clip Your FxChip BLE

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

The FxChip BLE automatically activates when moved and stops after 10 minutes of inactivity.

02. Turn On & Place Your Transmitters

⚠️ Transmitters must be minimum 0.7 seconds (approximately 10 meters) apart. Maximum 11 transmitters on your trajectory.

Tx Pad Pro

To turn on: Press the Power button for 1 second. The green LED [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.

Tx Junior Pro

To turn on: Press the Power button for 1 second.

To select code: Make short presses on the button to select the desired code: START, LAP (intermediate transmitter), or 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 1.5 meters 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 lane 1 and 2, and 1 other to cover lanes 3 and 4.

Examples of Use

Block Start 20M (2x10M)

Diagram shows a linear setup. A Tx Pad Pro is placed at 0m (Start). A Tx Junior Pro (code LAP) is at 10.8m. Another Tx Junior Pro (code FINISH) is at 20.8m. The distance between the first two is 1.22m. Mobile devices can be placed 1m to 50m after the finish line.

Start: 0m (Tx Pad Pro)
Intermediate: 10.8m (Tx Junior Pro, code LAP)
Finish: 20.8m (Tx Junior Pro, code FINISH)

Distance between transmitters: 1.22m (Tx Pad Pro to Tx Junior Pro LAP).

Mobile device placement: 1m to 10-50m max after the FINISH transmitter.

Flying Start 20M (2x10M)

Diagram shows a linear setup. A Tx Junior Pro (code START) is at 0m. A Tx Junior Pro (code LAP) is at 10m. Another Tx Junior Pro (code FINISH) is at 20m. The Tx Junior Pro transmitters should be placed at least 1.5m from the athlete's trajectory. Mobile devices can be placed 1m to 50m after the finish line.

Start: 0m (Tx Junior Pro, code START)
Intermediate: 10m (Tx Junior Pro, code LAP)
Finish: 20m (Tx Junior Pro, code FINISH)

Minimum distance from trajectory for Tx Junior Pro: 1.5m.

Mobile device placement: 1m to 10-50m max after the FINISH transmitter.

To ensure perfect data reception, place your mobile device:

Next to the FINISH transmitter (between 10m and 50m after it).
At a height of 1 meter off the ground.

If you use a Relay Coach BLE, place it at 10m after the FINISH transmitter, and at a height of approximately 1m from the ground.
