1Getting started
This manual provides one with all the information needed to install and use the Xtra.Sector Sensor.
The Xtra.Sector Sensor is a product that can be used for loop detection. Depending on the Xtra.Beacon
configuration, several functions can be performed such as controlling kart speed and lap-timing. The
Xtra.Sector Sensor is powered through the Xtra.Transponder and therefore no batteries are required.
The Xtra.Sector Sensor is a supportive product that could result in less dangerous situations. The
Xtra.Sector Sensor is designed as supplement to make karting safer but cannot replace safe track
procedures.
1.1 What is in the box
Before proceeding, make sure the box contains the following items:
1. Xtra.Sector Sensor

1.2 Mounting
Each kart requires its own Xtra.Sector Sensor. It is essential that the Xtra.Sector Sensor is installed
according to the descriptions below, otherwise performance problems or even damage can be
expected.
The most important rules of installation are:
•The maximum distance between the loop antenna and the housing of the Xtra.Sector Sensor
is 20 cm.
•For best performance the Xtra.Sector Sensor must be mounted flat on the karts plastic floor
plate in line with the driving direction (printed arrow points to the driving direction). Metal
floor plates may reduce performance.
•Keep the Xtra.Sector Sensor as far away as possible from tubes, iron or other electric
conducting materials as well as the karts high current conducting cables.
The Xtra.Sector Sensor can be fixated using 4 plastic screws or tie wraps.

1.3 Connecting
This chapter describes how to connect the Xtra.Sector Sensor. The Xtra.Sector Sensor must be
connected to a Xtra.Transponder through a network port. The Xtra.Sector Sensor has two identical
network ports. This makes it possible to chain multiple De Haardt products into the De Haardt
network. The network ports are normally protected with a rubber cap. This rubber cap has to be
removed before the network cable can be attached. Connect one side of the network cable to the
network port of the Xtra.Transponder followed by connecting the other side of the network cable to
any network port of the Xtra.Sector Sensor.
It is recommended to install the Xtra.Sector Sensor on a single kart first and verify correct operation
before installing it on other karts.

Check the polarization before fitting the connector!
Keep unplugged connectors (both sockets and plugs) completely dry and clean.
Never expose them to water, fuel, oil, chemicals or any kind of dirt!
Make 100% sure that vibration CANNOT loosen the network connection as this
can cause several problems like bad functioning of the system, corrosion of the
network plug and socket, etc..
The Xtra.Sector Sensor is compatible with all De Haardt transponders.
