Page 5: Introduction
We constantly try to develop our products with the most useful features so you can use the Laptimer to go faster, faster but we always appreciate good ideas from the users of our products. If you have any problems or questions regarding your Unipro Laptimer we will make sure to give you the necessary support. -
Page 6: General Information
In 2002, we decided to reinvent the Unipro Laptimer from scratch again! Your Unipro Laptimer is a result of this reinvention. We have made so many new inventions and features that we can’t get into them here, but now you really can use the Laptimer as a tool to go... -
Page 7: Commonly Used Words
A Loop is a wire in the asphalt. The Loop is sending a signal that the Laptimer pick up every time it passes the loop. The Loop must be an active AMB Loop in order to trigger the Laptimer. UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -

Protocol – the IrDA protocol. RECEIVER The receiver picks up the trigger signal and starts the Laptimers stopwatch. There are different types of receivers: loop, magnet stripe and infrared. Your Unipro Laptimer supports all kinds of receivers. TRIGGER The Laptimer trigs when it passes the finish line. The trigger can be either infrared light, a magnet stripe or a Loop signal. -
Page 9: Receiver Types
Use power in the Laptimer. Unipro recommends using the Loop receiver. This is the perfect receiver type if there is an active AMB Loop present at the track. Second choice is the Magnet receiver, but if you are at a race on a car park, the IR receiver is needed. -
Page 10: Splits With Magnet Stripes
The protocol is either a primary (master) or secondary (slave). Unipro uses a secondary protocol in the Laptimer and a primary protocol in the Data Analyser. The distance for an IrDA link is normally around 30 – 100 cm (10“ – 40“) but it is very depending on the surroundings. -
Page 11: Usb
480Mbps. The standard is divided into hosts (master) and devices (slave). Both the Unipro Laptimer and the Data Analyser are devices. In a system, a host is always needed and that is why it is not possible to connect the Laptimer to the Data Analyser using the USB cable! A future standard, called USB on the Go will combine the two things, enabling equipment to be both a host and a device. -

If you have too many laps in the Laptimer, it will get harder to analyse your data. Transfer the data to the Data Analyser or a PC before you clear the laps. Please remember, that the logged data can only be transferred to a PC, and not to the Data Analyser. UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -
Page 13: Low Battery Warning
RPM calculation Different Laptimers have very different ways of calculating the RPM. The Unipro Laptimer use a very advanced method. The result is very precise calculation of the RPM. A very simplified explanation of the difference is that: Some Laptimers counts each pulse to the spark plug, and calculates a new RPM value for each 0.6 seconds –... -
Page 14: Speed Measurement
The instantaneous method counts the time between pulses from a wheel sensor, and then calculates the speed at specific instants in time. We use this method in the Unipro Laptimer. Our wheel sensor has six pulses per wheel revolution, witch results in a very accurate speed measurement. -
Page 15: Data Stored
Besides the data you can see directly on the Laptimer, even more detailed data are logged in the Laptimer memory so you can transfer it to a PC for further analysis. The logging is described in the next chapter. UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -
Page 16: Logging
In the 6002 and 6003 Laptimer there are memory enough to store 2 hours of data. In the 7002 and 7003 Laptimer there are memory enough for almost 9 hours of data. With the USB cable you can easily transfer the data to a PC. -
Page 17: Analysing Your Data
“only” stored 10 times per second. If the data aren’t filtered before it is stored the stored data will not be very accurate. That is one of the reasons why your Unipro Laptimer has a very advanced processor and a unique filtering technique. -
Page 18: Laptimer Overview
Six buttons gives you quick access to all the functions. Five ultra bright LED Lamps are used for both temperature warnings and RPM shift light. IrDA is part of the display unit and enables wireless communication with the Unipro Data Analyser. -
Page 19: How To Use The Display Unit
We have put a lot of experience and effort into making the Display Unit very easy to operate on the track and in the pit. The feedback we get from drivers and teams using the Unipro Laptimer tells us that we have succeeded. Here you can get an overview over the functions on the Display Unit. -
Page 20: The Main Box
This 4-pin connector is for the speed sensor only. This is part of the speed kit and it is used to calculate speed, splits, lap lengths and more. Input range is 0 to 350 KMH with a resolution of 0.1 KMH. UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -
Page 21: Temp 1
This 4-pin connector is for communication to a PC. This high-speed USB connection will transfer all the data in a few seconds. DISP This is the cable is going to the display unit. The connector is located at the other end! UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -

Page 25: Rpm Sensor
RPM SENSOR The RPM sensor comes standard with every Unipro Laptimer. We use an active sensor to ensure the best possible signal from all kind of engines. Mount the sensor with care. You do not want it to fall of during a race. If that happens, the Laptimer will turn itself off after 5 minutes and you will no longer be able to see your lap times. -
Page 26: Magnet Receiver
Measure and drill the hole from the side. The most important issue is to mount the receiver horizontal. Remember to place the infrared transmitter at the same height as the infrared receiver at least 3 meters from the track. UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -

Main Box. You may need different types if you use different engines. Ask you dealer or contact Unipro if you are in doubt. Mount the cable in the connector marked TEMP 1 or TEMP 2 on the Main Box. -
Page 28: Water Sensor
This is the sensor for measuring the water heat. Use either TEMP 1 or TEMP 2 for the water sensor. When you drive a kart with water cooled engine, the heat of the cooling water is of course important for the performance of the engine. UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -
Page 29: Wheel Sensor Kit
For this purpose you will also need a sensor with an extra long cable (this is automatically included if you order a complete speed kit for rear wheel mounting). UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -

LEDs. Therefore, even if the intensity is turned down, the LEDs will be turned on at maximum intensity. Receiver type The Unipro Laptimer can use all types of receivers. You can choose between IR (infrared), Loop (AMB active loop) and magnet (magnet stripe in the track). -

(or first lap) the Laptimer ignores the first two magnets and then start the Laptimer when passing the third one. Use the buttons to adjust the magnets delay. Press to save and return to the magnet setup screen. UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -
Page 37: Split Points
Dividing the track into smaller sections is one of the most important features of the Laptimer. It will enable you to see all data in the laptimer for each section of the track. There are two ways of using splits with your Unipro Laptimer: 1. Splits with magnet stripes 2. -

4. Use to change between YES and NO. 5. Leave the text on YES and press to undo the action. The display will now turn of, and you are ready to start all over again. UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -
Page 39: Splits With Wheel Sensor
In this example you can see that split point no. 1 is set at 351 meters from the finish line. Press if you want to adjust the split points manually. UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -
Page 40: Editing The Split Points
Please be aware though, that the split function with the wheel sensor will not work well on a kart with four-wheel brakes because the sensor needs to be on a free running wheel! In that case, you must use a magnet receiver and the magnet stripes as split points. UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -
Page 41: Display Setup
If you use a Loop or IR receiver, you can choose a minimum delay from one trig to the next. This is the minimum time allowed between two trigs. This is primarily used if an IR transmitter can reach across the track and then trigger the Laptimer more than once on the same Lap. UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -
Page 42: Display Contrast
When you set the delay time as close as possible to the normal lap time you will also get a longer lifetime of your battery, because the IR receiver will be turned off most of the time. DISPLAY CONTRAST Here you can adjust the screen contrast from +5 to -5. Adjust the contrast with UNIPRO – The original Laptimer... -
