FURTHER INFORMATION

YOUR RELAY COACH BLE
Your Relay Coach BLE is the device that make the link between your
FxChip transponders and your mobile device. The Relay Coach BLE
receives the timing data collected by your transponders when the
athlete passes the finish transmitter and sends it automatically via
Bluetooth to your mobile device.
PREREQUISITES
Your transponder is a part of the Freelap system. In order to make it work
you must place the Freelap transmitters on your track, attach the
transponders to your athletes 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 (so that your transponders can send the timing data to your
mobile device).
Compatible mobile devices:
- iOS: iPhone 5 or higher, with iOS 11 or higher.
- Android: with Bluetooth 4.0 and Android 5.0 or higher.

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 as they pass it and measures time intervals
between each transmitter.
- Relay: Placed just after the finish transmitter, the Relay Coach BLE
receives transponder timing data via radio transmission when the athlete
passes the finish transmitter 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.
REQUIRED MANIPULATIONS
The Relay Coach BLE is an autonomous and smart device that requires no
manipulation, except:
- its good disposition on the track (see above instructions)
- turning it on using the Power button
