Summary of Contents for Immersion RC LapRF 8-Way Event Timing

  • Page 1       LapRF Event Timing System   Preliminary Operator's Manual    Rev 0.99 - May 2017       ...
  • Page 2: Specifications

          Specifications    5.8GHz RF Detection  Frequency  5.3-6.0GHz  Programmable Attenuation  0-32dB  Antenna  Custom linearly polarized (Suitable for LHCP, RHCP, Linear use)  Channels  Arbitrary (defined by connected app.)  Pilots  1-16, depending upon required precision and gate speed       ...
  • Page 3     Introduction  The LapRF 8-Way Event Timing Edition is the first in a family of race timing systems from  ImmersionRC.   LapRF technology uses the emitted 5.8GHz RF from race quadcopters (or fixed wing aircraft) to  detect a passage through the start-finish gate.  ...
  • Page 4: Getting Started

        Getting Started  The 8-way has been designed to be used by anyone interested in timing an FPV racing event, without  special skills.   1) Apply power, and install in the start/finish gate.   2) Hook up the Ethernet cable to either a network, or a direct connection to the timing PC  3) Set an appropriate IP address using the built-in OLED display.  ...
  • Page 5     Heat, the #1 enemy of electronics  FPV races are a lot more pleasant when the snow has melted, and the days are long enough for more  packs than your charger can keep up with.   These spring and summer months closer to the equator brings the sun, and the potential damage  that it can cause to electronics used for FPV racing.  ...
  • Page 6     Limitations  In general, you will find the LapRF to be truly best-in-class when it comes to RSSI timing systems.  The custom timing modules, coupled with a significant amount of processing power on-board, and  some highly refined curve-fitting algorithms , help to run races without an engineer present.  The one limitation that we will be very honest about is running the system in indoor environments ...
