About the PowerUnit & SpaceUnit
Use of the PowerUnit & SpaceUnit
PowerUnit is the start transmitter specially designed for sounds starts. Thanks to its
microphone, it starts the transponder's timer as soon as it detects a noisy sound nearby
(such as a clap or a gunshot). It is associated with an antenna flag, the SpaceUnit,
which provides a wider detection zone (6m), and lets trigger the start on up to 8 lanes.
1. Prerequisites
PowerUnit & SpaceUnit transmitter is a part of the Freelap timing system. To get your
timing data, you must attach the transponder(s) to the athlete(s) and use the
MyFreelap app (cf corresponding user manuals).
2. Get to know the PowerUnit
• Take the SpaceUnit out of its packaging, the ellipse will take shape itself.
• Join the 2 central axes, fitting them together to stiffen the structure.
• Press 2s on the Power button to turn on the transmitter.
• Press on the Set button to select the MIC mode. Each press of the Set button
switches you to the next mode. The LED of the MIC mode must flash. The START led
automatically lights up to indicate that the transmitter is set as a START transmitter.
• Place the transmitter on the ground, at a distance of 2 meters behind the start line.
• The Freelap logo must face toward the start line.
• If you time on 8 lanes, place the transmitter between lanes n°4 and n°5.
