HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Freelap
timing system is based on the emission and detection of
®
electromagnetic fields and consists mainly of four elements:
CHIP
Worn by the skier, it measures time intervals between each transmitter.
TRANSMITTERS
Placed along the course, they are coded (START, LAP or FINISH) and emit
electromagnetic fields.
RELAY
It receives the data from the chip, saves it, and transmits it to your mobile
device and LED Display.
MYFREELAP APP
Upon crossing the FINISH transmitter, the 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 web account on
app.freelap.com.
01. ATTACH YOUR FXCHIP
Attach the FxChip to the back of the skier's ski boot, placed
vertically and facing outward.
The FxChip automatically activates when moved, and stops after 10
minutes of inactivity.
02. PLACE YOUR RELAY & TRANSMITTERS
Relay Coach BLE
Turn on the Relay Coach BLE: press the Power button.
Clip the Relay Coach BLE to slalom pole and place it after the
finish line at 10 meters after the FINISH transmitter.
Tx Gate Pro
Attach your Tx Gate Pro to a stake using its adjustable bands.
The stick should be placed at shins height, parallel to the ground.
The face of the case must be turned towards the track.
Trigger the start by crossing the gate. Tx Gate Pro has no button.
It activates only a fraction of a second when the stick is moved.
Tx Track Pro
Turn on the transmitter: press the Power button for 1s.
Make short presses on the Power button to select the desired code: START / LAP
(intermediate) / FINISH. Each press of the button switches it to the next code.
Place the Tx Track Pro on the snow, at less than 3m of the skier's trajectory. It is
shaped like an arrow. Point the arrow perpendicularly to the track to draw your 3
meters imaginary line of passage. It can be placed under the snow in the middle
of the finish area to increase the detection field (6m).
Transmitters must be minum 0.7 second apart.
Maximum 11 transmistters on your trajectory.
