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:
Cylinder Head Sensor Water Sensor T-Junction
Exhaust Sensor Kit Speed Kit USB Cable
The Unipro Laptimer can work with three different temperature sensors at the same time.

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

If you want to get the full benefit of your Laptimer, we recommend that you use some of the more
advanced features and accessories. The most used accessories are:
•Temperature sensors for cylinder head, exhaust and / or water
•Speed kit, which enables you to use split times and speed
•Data Analyser and PC Analyser to view and analyse your data
We will get back to this later in the Quick Guide, and you can read all about it in the Reference
Manual. With the settings mentioned above, you can start to use your Laptimer, getting precise
lap times and RPM values.
