Start-up of the IR-laptrigger for thePrefaceFor your convenience the new 2D KIT Systems are using GPS signals for generating theLaptrigger signal. Laptrigger positions for a lot of racetracks are delivered together with the2D KIT System and can be easily selected in the 2D KIT software. If your racetrack is notavailable in the 2D KIT software, you can teach your laptrigger position very comfortable.As an alternative solution the well known 2D infrared laptrigger set consisting of IRreceiver (=Art.No.: SD-KIT_LR05-000) and IR transmitter (=Art.No.: AC-KIT_LT05-000) isalso available for the new 2D KIT System.This manual gives a step by step introduction which settings have to be done by the userto prepare the KIT datalogger for the recording of IR-laptrigger positions.For a better understanding of this shortguide the KIT System user manual (=Art.No.:AC-DOC_Kit-System_e-000) should be available, since some explanations refer toindividual chapters from this manual.PreparationIn order to ensure a errorless communication with the KIT logger, the USB driver of thisdevice must be correctly installed. The necessary USB driver files will be installed duringthe KIT software installation. Therefore the installation must take place first.Refer to chapter 5 (Installation of the 2D KIT system software) of the KIT System usermanual in order to perform this step correctly.Also the Licencing must be finalized in order to be able to start WinIt in the “Setting mode”Refer to chapter 5.1.3 (Licensing of the KIT software) of the KIT System user manual.Step1: Establish communication with the KIT datalogger• Connect the 2D memory module to a free USB port at your computerKit dataloggerArt.No.: LG-Kit08-000USB A/B extension (standard)Art.No.: WL-ExtUSB_a/b-000USB Port at PC• Ensure external voltage supply of the KIT system. Therefore the 34pin AMP plug (of the KITlogger) must be connected ( Refer chapter 3 “Pinning of the KIT logger connector” of the KITSystem user manual)IR-laptrigger set KIT System: Start-up reference page 4 / 10

Step2: Enter WinIt in Setting mode• Start the program WinARace (using the desktop icon)• Enter the communication program WinIt (clicking on Logger or with the hot key F2 )• The software auomatically recognizes the attached KIT datalogger.IR-laptrigger set KIT System: Start-up reference page 5 / 10

• ...and comes up with “simplified user interface for KIT systems”Step3: Switch overview (in WinIt) to “Full user interface”In order to change the pre-defined channel settings the user must switch to the “Full userinterface”. This can be done by the options dialog in WinIt.• Use the menu item to enter the “Communication-Settings“ windowIR-laptrigger set KIT System: Start-up reference page 6 / 10

Select “Full user interface” and confirm with The faster way is using the hot key STRG + ALT + K (after the simplified userinterface is shown in WinIt)• The View should be similar to the following figure:• Open and click onto “LAPTIME“. If you take a look at the page In the dropdown menu “Channel-number“ you can see the pre-defined setting “Ch 15: LapGps”. Itshows that GPS-laptrigger will be used to create laptime signals.IR-laptrigger set KIT System: Start-up reference page 7 / 10

Step4: Change channel settingThe user have to select “Ch 16: LapAdc” from the selecting list.All setting changes done by the user will be shown by an underlined script, as long as theyare not applied to the datalogger. This shows that all (user) changes were not savedpermanently at this time.So do not forget to store all changes permanent into the logging device by usingthe button . Alternatively you can use the button Apply (at the windowbottom and-/or from the toolbar)+ The hot key ALT + A can also be used.IR-laptrigger set KIT System: Start-up reference page 8 / 10

Step5: Completion of the IR laptrigger setting in WinItWith this step the setting of the KIT datalogger for use with the IR-laptrigger is finished andthe IR-laptrigger set is ready for use.Refer to the following chapters of the KIT system user manual which describes themounting and connection of both modules (IR receiver and transmitter)chapter 4.1.2.3 “Connecting the 2D laptime receiver”chapter 4.1.1.3 “Mounting the 2D laptime receiver”chapter 4.1.1.4 “What should be considered when using the 2D laptime transmitter”IR-laptrigger set KIT System: Start-up reference page 9 / 10

Step6: Start-up Laptrigger transmitter (AC-KIT_LT05-000)What should be considered when using the 2D Laptime transmitter ?In case of using only one 2D laptime transmitter on the pit wall, there are no problems.In case of more than one 2D laptime transmitters on the pit wall always the firsttransmitter signal is used from the laptime receiver (on the bike). As soon as the firsttransmitter is turned off (or taken away) the next lap the rider will see a wrong laptime.Because the Lap is longer: -)You should pay attention to the following:Use only one 2D laptime transmitter. The best way is to use the same laptimetransmitter on all days of a race weekend on the same position. Please discuss theuse of one 2D laptime transmitter with the other 2D users.Set the transmitter up on the pit wall, and pay attention that the maximum distancebetween transmitter and receiver (vehicle) is 20m. Use a standard motorcyclebattery for the power supply, or a 12 Volt interface.When the LED is blinking the transmitter is working.Power supply of the transmitterRed = +12V, black = GroundIR-laptrigger set KIT System: Start-up reference page 10 / 10
