• Expandable to a 24 foot track lane.

• Fully powered by a USB port with no buried wires for ultimate portability.

How it all works

A timing bridge sits above the track over the Start / Finish line. On the bottom of the bridge are sensors pointing down at the track.

The included 50 foot cable connects the sensors to the decoder, the "brains" of the system. The decoder connects to a USB port on the computer running your choice of the many race management softwares available.

Each car is fitted with a small, lightweight transponder that is powered by the receiver.

While racing, as each cars passes under the bridge, the transponder is detected and the decoder tells the computer which cars went by and timestamps it with the exact time of the lap. All the cars in a race can be detected simultaneously.

AMB transponders will not work with our system and our transponders will not work with an AMB.

Check out these racing software programs. All of them work well with I-LapRC:

Each system will need 1 decoder, enough bridge sensors to cover the finish line and one transponder for each car in the race. Each transponder can be set as house transponders or personal transponders in the software.

 

Each bridge sensors covers 14.5 inches of the track lane width. For example, if the track is 10 feet wide, 8 sensors will be needed. Simply divide the total width in inches by 14.5 to get the number of sensors needed. Generally speaking, it is OK to go a little over. A 4 foot (48 inch) lane calculates to 3.3 sensors, but 3 will cover it sufficiently.

 

The number of bridge sensors needed is only determined by the width of the lane, and it does not matter how many transponders are used.
