Transponder
With the extremly small and leightweight transponder a modelcar owns a worldwide unique ID number. If a car equipped with it crosses the start/finish line, the transponder signal with the ID number will be recognized and processed by the receiver-module in the loop bridge.
The lap-counting-system can process any number of transponders at the same time, not depending on the number of receiver-modules used on the loop-bridge. The number of receiver-modules much more depends on the width of the track under the bridge. The provided software, when installed on a PC, can be used for practice runs right away.
Mounting the Transponder
The mounting spot for the transponder should be chosen in a way that it can transmit through the windshield without being blocked.
Mounting the Receiver Module
The receiver-module and the transponder work with infrared-sensors. The receiver-modules can be expanded to any number with easy plug & play. This way the system can be adapted to any track width. A receiver-module should be placed every 30cm, with a distance of 15cm on the edge.
