About the Tx Pro Team
The Tx Pro Team is a versatile transmitter for the Freelap timing system. It is specifically designed for standing starts but can also be quickly set as a LAP or FINISH transmitter. It emits a magnetic field that is automatically detected by your transponder during its passage.
Use of the Tx Pro Team
1. Prerequisites
- The Tx Pro Team transmitter is part of the Freelap timing system. To get your timing data, you must attach the transponder to the athlete and use the MyFreelap app (refer to corresponding user manuals).
2. Get to Know the Tx Pro Team
The transmitter features:
- Clip: To attach it to a pole or a tripod.
- USB port: To charge the device.
- Power button: To turn the transmitter on/off and select the desired code (START / LAP / FINISH).
- START / LAP / FINISH LEDs: Indicate which code the transmitter is set to.
3. Turn On and Set the Tx Pro Team
- To turn on the transmitter, press the Power button for 1 second. The green LED confirms activation.
- Once the transmitter is on, make short presses on the Power button to select the desired code: START (start transmitter), LAP (intermediate transmitter), or FINISH (finish transmitter). Each short press cycles to the next code, and the LED of the selected code flashes.
4. Place It on the Track
- Attach your Tx Pro Team to a pole or tripod using its clip.
- Plant the pole (or place the tripod) on the start line.
- Adjust the height of the Tx Pro Team: it should be placed at approximately the same height as the athlete's transponder (navel level).
- The arrow on the Tx Pro Team must point in the direction of the race.
5. Associate It with Other Freelap Transmitters
For the Freelap system to work, you must have a transmitter set to the FINISH code on your track. The Tx Pro Team is versatile and can be used as a START, LAP, or FINISH transmitter. It can also be combined with other Freelap transmitters, such as Tx Junior Pro transmitters set as LAP and FINISH transmitters, placed 80cm AFTER the desired distance. For optimal detection and accuracy, it is recommended to use a Tx Junior Pro as the FINISH transmitter (the Tx Pro Team is preferred for the start).
Placing the transmitter in any other location or position may result in inaccuracies or non-detection.
System Requirements:
- Transmitters must be a minimum of 0.7 seconds apart.
- Your track must contain a maximum of 11 transmitters.
Example: Time 30m (3x10m) setup with multiple transmitters.
6. Take the Start
Front View: The Tx Pro Team has a detection field of 80cm on each side (left/right). This means the athlete must always pass within 80cm next to the Tx Pro Team. A starting door of 90cm is recommended.
Side View: The athlete must take the start outside the detection field of the transmitter. The Tx Pro Team has a 40cm front/back detection field. For optimal detection and accuracy, it is recommended to start 60cm (approximately 2 feet) before the Tx Pro Team.
