About the Tx Gate Pro
Use of the Tx Gate Pro
Tx Gate Pro transmitter is a start gate specially designed for ski starts. When the skier
crosses the gate (at the moment when his shins move the gate’s stick of 10° according
to the FIS standard), Tx Gate Pro emits a signal that triggers the start of the FxChip’s
timer, automatically and instantly.
1. Prerequisites
Tx Gate Pro transmitter is a part of the Freelap timing system. To get your timing data,
you must attach the transponder to the skier’s ski boot, turn on and place your other
transmitters and your Relay Coach BLE, and use the MyFreelap app (cf corresponding
user manuals).
2. Get to know your device
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.
• Plant a wooden stake ideally 4x4cm (not supplied) at the start area.
• Attach your Tx Gate Pro to the stake using the Velcro straps. 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.

4. Place it on the track
5. Associate it with other Freelap transmitters
• 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 transponder. The PWR led and a
sound confirm that the start has been triggered.
• The fiberglass stick automatically returns to its initial position after each start.

Placing the transmitter at any other location or position may result in

• Tx Gate Pro is a START transmitter. To make Freelap system work, you must have a
transmitter set with the code FINISH on your track, so:
- You must add one FINISH transmitter (1 Tx Track Pro transmitter set with the code
FINISH) on the finish line.
- You can add more Freelap transmitters (e.g: 1 Tx Track Pro transmitter set with the
code LAP to get intermediate times) at the desired distance(s).
• The Tx Gate Pro must be at a minimum time of 0.7 second from the next transmitter.
• Your track must contain a maximum of 11 transmitters.
