About the FxChip
Use of the FxChip
The FxChip is the Freelap radio transponder. Worn by the athlete, it accurately
measures time intervals between each transmitters crossed, and automatically sends
all timing data instantly upon arrival (crossing the finish transmitter) via Bluetooth to
your Relay Coach BLE. Then, your Relay Coach BLE instantly transmits the data via
Bluetooth to your mobile device.
1. Prerequisites
FxChip transponder is a part of the Freelap timing system. To get your timing data, you
must turn on and place the Relay Coach BLE and the transmitters on the track, and use
the MyFreelap app (cf corresponding user manuals).
2. Get to know your device
The FxChip transponder has no button: it automatically turns on when moved and it
stops after 10 minutes of inactivity.
A red led lights up when it crosses a transmitter’s detection field, to confirm that the
transponder is detecting the transmitter.
The attachement of the FxChip depends on your sport.
For Running:
Attach the FxChip to the belt of the athlete's short using his
attachment clip (provided). It must imperatively be
attached to the waist, centered in the alignment of the
navel, positioned vertically and facing outward.
For Biking:
Attach the FxChip to the bike using the FxMTB
(velcro tape). It must imperatively be attached
to the fork of the bike, positioned vertically and
facing forward.
For Motorbiking:
Attach the FxChip to the elastic band of
the rider’s mask using its Velcro strap.
It must imperatively be centered on the
back of the helmet, positioned
vertically and facing outward.
For Skiing:
Attach the FxChip to the skier’s ski boot
using its Velcro strap. It must
imperatively be centered on the back
of ski boot, placed vertically and facing
outward.
Identifier (ID): Each transponder has a unique
ID (2 letters - 4 digits), which makes it possible
to time several athletes simultaneously.
Red Led: blinks when it detects a transmitter.
3. Activate the FxChip
4. Attach the FxChip
Attaching the transponder to any other location or position may result in
inaccuracies or non-detection.
The FxChip is an autonomous and smart device that does not require any manipulation,
except its good fixation and orientation
• Your FxChip has a memory of max 10 intermediate LAP times. This means that your
track must contain a maximum of 11 transmitters.
• The timing data collected by your FxChip transponder is not stored in the transponder
but safely saved in your MyFreelap account.
