OVERALL FUNCTIONING
1
USE OF YOUR TX GATE PRO
2
YOUR TX GATE PRO
Your Tx Gate Pro is the Freelap start transmitter specially designed for
skiing. This gate triggers the start of the transponder very accurately.
When the skier crosses the gate (at the moment when his shins move the
stick to 10 ° according to the FIS standard), the Tx Gate Pro emits a magnet-
ic field (code “START”) that triggers the start of the transponder.
PREREQUISITES
Your Tx Gate Pro transmitter is part of the Freelap system. In order to make
it work, you must attach transponder(s) to the skier(s), turn on and place
your other transmitters and your Relay Coach BLE, and use the
MyFreelap app (consult the corresponding user manuals for more details).
ASSOCIATE IT WITH OTHER
FREELAP TRANSMITTERS
• To make Freelap system work, you must
have a transmitter set with the code
"Finish" on your track.
• The Tx Gate Pro is a start transmitter. You
must also have at least one finish transmitter
on your course (e.g.: Tx Track Pro transmitter
set with the code "Finish").
• You can also use it in combination with
other Freelap transmitters (e.g.: Tx Track
Pro transmitter set with the code “Lap”).
/! \ Your FxChip and FxChip BLE transpon-
ders have a temporary memory of 10 Laps. It
means that your track must contain a
maximum of 11 transmitters.
• The Tx Gate Pro must be placed at a
minimum of 0.7 second from any other
transmitter.
PLACE YOUR TX GATE PRO AND TAKE THE START
> PLACE YOUR TRANSMITTER :
• Plant a wooden stake ideally 4x4cm (not supplied) at the start area.
• Attach your Tx Gate Pro to your stake using the Velcro straps on your
transmitter. The stick should be placed at shins height (the snow-to-stick
distance should be between 35 and 50 cm), parallel to the ground. The
face of the case of your transmitter must be turned towards the track.
> TURN ON YOUR TRANSMITTER :
The Tx Gate Pro does not have any buttons. It turns on automatically, in a
fraction of a second, when the skier takes the start (when the stick is
moved by the skier). It turns off automatically after each start.
• Put yourself in starting position, both shins just
in front of the stick.
• Start by crossing the gate (pushing the stick with
your shins). The Tx Gate Pro emits a signal that
triggers instantly the start of the FxChip transpon-
der. It will also make a sound that confirms that the
gate has been triggered.
• The fiberglass stick automatically returns to its
initial position after each start.
1. STICK : Triggers the start.
2. VELCRO STRAPS : To attach it to a stake.
3. “PWR” LED : Indicates that the device is on, and indicate a low
battery (red light).
