FREELAP SYSTEM
Freelap is an innovative automatic timing system made for training.
Freelap technology is based on the emission and detection of
electromagnetic fields. The electronic timing system consists mainly of 3
elements:
– Transmitters: Freelap transmitters are placed along the track. They are
coded (start, lap or finish) and emit electromagnetic fields.
– Transponder : worn by the athlete, the transponder detects the pulses
of electromagnetic fields and measures time intervals between each
transmitter.
- Relay: Placed just after the finish transmitter, the Relay Coach BLE
instantly receives transponder timing data via radio transmission and
automatically transmits it via Bluetooth to your mobile device.
Your Freelap products are used in combination with the MyFreelap app
(available for free, download from App Store and Google Play Store). This
app allows you to view your results live and store your data. Data can also
be checked on a computer via your myfreelap.com account.
PREREQUISITES
Your transponder is a part of the Freelap system. In order to make it work
you must place the Freelap transmitters and your Relay Coach BLE on
your track and use the MyFreelap app (consult the corresponding user
manuals for more details).
An internet connection is not necessary because the Freelap system also
works offline. However, you must activate the Bluetooth function on your
mobile device.
Compatible mobile devices:
- iOS: iPhone 5 and higher, with iOS 11 or higher.
- Android: with Bluetooth 4.0 and Android 5.0 or higher.
TURN ON / OFF YOUR FXCHIP
The Bluetooth transponder does not have any buttons: it automatically
turns on when moved and turns off after 10 minutes of inactivity.
ATTACH THE FXCHIP TO THE ATHLETE
For skiing, your FxChip must be attached to the skier as follows:
/!\ 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 on the skier.
THE IDENTIFIER OF YOUR FXCHIP (ID)
Each transponder has a unique ID, which makes it
possible to time several athletes simultaneously.
The ID (2 letters - 4 digits) is written on the front of your
device.
YOUR FXCHIP
The FxChip is the standard Freelap transponder. Once attached to the
athlete, it automatically detects the transmitters and records data
timing. Data timing is transmitted to your Relay Coach BLE when the
athlete passes the “finish” transmitter. Then, your Relay Coach BLE
automatically transmits the data via Bluetooth on your mobile device.
The FxChip must be
attached to the back of
the skier's ski boot,
placed vertically,
facing outward.
