UNIPRO – The original Laptimer 3

Get ready to go!
In this chapter, we will give you the most necessary information about what to do before you can
start using your Laptimer. If you are an experienced user, looking for exact information, you may
want to jump to the reference manual.
Do you have the necessary accessories?
If you have bought the basic package you should have following parts to your Laptimer:
Main Box Display Unit Receiver – Loop, Magnet or IR
RPM Sensor
You may also have bought any of these extra accessories:
Speed Kit
UNIPRO – The original Laptimer 4

Installation
Your Laptimer is a precision instrument and you should take the necessary time to ensure correct
installation. A basic rule is to start from the sensors and go back to the Laptimer, never the other
way. If cables are too long, they should always be looped at the end near the Laptimer. Use
plenty of strips to fix the cables to the frame.
DISPLAY UNIT
The Display Unit is mounted on the steering wheel. Due to the ultra thin Display Unit, you will not
have any problems with regulations.

Figure 1. Display unit mounted on steering wheel
First, the Display Unit is mounted on the steering
wheel. Choose a hole that gives a good placement at the
top of the steering wheel. On some steering wheels, it is
necessary to make the hole a little bigger.
Remove the nut, the gray washer and one of the two
black rubber washers. These parts are mounted on the
back side of the steering wheel, as shown in figure 1.
It is important to keep the right order of the washers.
Please follow this sequence:
Nut – metal washer – gray plastic washer – black rubber
washer – steering wheel – black rubber washer – Display
Unit.
Tighten the nut when the display is strait and centered in the
steering wheel. This picture shows the correct mounted
Display Unit.
MAIN BOX
The main box is mounted behind the front cover. The following picture is showing the main box
and its components.

The main Box is mounted behind the front cover.
First, a 6.5 mm hole is drilled in the cover. Some karts have a
recess in the coat suitable for drilling the hole in. If you press h
on the sticker, you can see where to drill the hole. It is a good
idea to look from the back before drilling!
ard
Use the enclosed umbracho screw
The enclosed screw is screwed through the front coat to
ease the mounting of the main box. Use a 5 mm
umbracho.
UNIPRO – The original Laptimer 6

Make sure that the cable for the Display Unit is pointing
upwards.
The Main Box is held with one hand and the umbracho screw is
tightened with the other hand. The cable for the Display Unit must
be pointing upwards. Make sure the box is placed straight before
tighten the screw hard.
The picture shows the Main Box after it is correctly mounted
behind the front cover. With the Display Unit and the Main Box
correctly mounted, you connect the Main Box and the Display
Unit, and start to install the different sensors.
Cable from the Main Box to the Display Unit.
The cable for the Display Unit is now routed from the
Main Box, along the steering column, to the connector on
the Display Unit. Tighten the connector hard, but only
use your fingers.
Make sure the cable aren’t squeezed.
It is very important that the cable cannot be squeezed,
even at full swing of the steering wheel. Make a loop on
the cable and strip it to the steering column. Test by
turning the steering wheel all the way to both sides and
feel if the cable at any points feels tight.

RPM SENSOR
The RPM sensor comes standard with every Unipro Laptimer. We use an active sensor to ensure
the best possible signal from all kind of engines. Mount the sensor with care. You do not want it to
fall of during a race. If that happens, the Laptimer will turn itself off after 5 minutes and you will
no longer be able to see your lap times.
Mount the sensor with at least two strips.
The RPM sensor is mounted in the middle of the ignition
cable with at least two strips.
The ignition on a gokart is the worst source of electrical
noise and it is therefore a good idea to keep the RPM cable
away from any other cables.
Please do not let the RPM cable touch the cylinder or the
cylinder head because it can tear the isolation and shield
and cause disturbance. The most important issue is to
separate the RPM cable from the ignition cable just after
the sensor. This is clearly shown on the picture. Do not let
the two cables run together!
The cable is mounted in the connector marked RPM on the main box. Tighten the connector
hard with your fingers.
RECEIVERS
The Unipro Laptimer supports all kind of receivers. The different receivers are good for different
things. If the track has a loop, we recommend using the Loop Receiver.
AMB Loop receiver
Mounting the Loop receiver.
The Loop receiver is mounted as low as possible on the left
side of the seat. Drill a 6.5 mm hole from the inside of the
seat. The distance from the underside of the Loop receiver to
the asphalt must not exceed 100 mm.
The Loop receiver is mounted parallel with the seat and needs
to point backwards against the rear axle. Make sure, that
nothing comes between the receiver and the track.
Use plenty of strips to secure the cable to the Main Box.
When the receiver is mounted, the cable is fixed to the middle of the kart, all the way to the
Main Box. Use plenty of strips to secure the cable.
The cable is mounted in the connector named RECV 1 on the Laptimer. Tighten the connector
hard with your fingers.

Magnet receiver
Mounting the magnet receiver.
The best place to mount the magnet receiver is
lengthwise on the bottom plate. Measure and drill the
hole from the backside. The most important issue is to
minimize the vibrations to the receiver. The most
common placement of the magnet receiver is at the
very front of the bottom plate, with the cable facing
forward.
The distance between the receiver and asphalt must
not exceed 50 mm.
Make sure that the cable is fixed properly.
Lead the cable up on the back side of the front cover and into the
Main Box. It is important that the cable is fixed properly. We
recommend that you use strips to fix the cable to the front cover.
The cable is mounted in the connector marked RECV 1 on the
Main Box. Tighten the connector hard with your fingers.
Infrared receiver
Mounting the Infrared receiver.
The best place to mount the infrared receiver is behind the
front cover. Measure and drill the hole from the side. The
most important issue is to mount the receiver horizontal.
Remember to place the infrared transmitter at the same
height as the infrared receiver at least 3 meters from the
track.
UNIPRO – The original Laptimer 9

Make sure that the cable is fixed properly.
Lead the cable up on the back side of the front cover and
into the Main Box. It is important that the cable is fixed
properly. We recommend that you use strips to fix the c
to the front cover. able
The cable is mounted in the connector marked RECV 2 on
the Main Box. Tighten the connector hard with your fingers.
WHEEL SENSOR KIT
The wheel sensor kit is used for many of the advanced features in the Laptimer. For instance
speed, tire wear counters, lap length and more.
The sensor disc
The sensor disc is mounted on the front wheel with pressure on in most of the corners on the
track. On most tracks this will be the left front wheel. But it is always best to count the corners of
the track, and then choose the appropriate wheel.
Dismount the wheel and put the centering bush in the
inner ring of the bearing.
The sensor disc is
placed over the
centering bush and it
is held firmly down.
Then tighten the
three small screws
that fixes the sensor
disc to the wheel.
Tighten the three
screws hard, so the
sensor disc doesn’t go loose when you’re driving. After the sensor disc is mounted, the
centering bush is removed again. The wheel is now ready for mounting again.
