Frequently Asked Questions About Freelap

How accurate is the Freelap Timing System?

 

A. Our Freelap Stopwatch has an accuracy of 2/100th of a second. This accuracy rate is also what you will find in typically much higher priced photocell timing systems. All the accuracy you need for training without all the hassle of radio signal.

How many athletes can be on the course at the same time?

 

 

An unlimited number of athletes can be on course at the same time as each transmitter and stopwatch work independently. Every Freelap Stopwatch can work with any Freelap transmitters. So your club could own multiple TX Alpine Kits and all the athletes could use them with any Freelap Alpine Stopwatch

Will the transmitter be triggered by other athletes if they go across the courses split or finish line and affect my time?

 

Absolutely not. The signal emitted by the Freelap transmitters is only received by the stopwatch you are carrying.  

 

Q04

What is the maximum course length I can time with my Freelap timing system?

 

 

There is no course to long or to steep for Freelap.  Each part of the TX Alpine Kit works independently. So no communication is required between them.

How many laps can my Freelap Stopwatch save?

 

Its large internal memory will store more then 700+ laps. Everything is stored by date and time for easy consultation. If needed you can upload your data to our Freelap manager program on your pc with our USB/IRDA cable.

Q06

What is the minimum distance between Two Freelap Transmitters?
 

You can time section as small as 0.80 second Do you realize some of your athletes are loosing races because of their weak starts?  Go-ahead time does starts to the first gate!  It’s a critical section of any course!

Q07

How does it react to cold temperature? 

 

We have spent our share of days testing it in cold winter temperature. The kit can easily be used up â€“25°C / -13°F .  This rating is above the industry standard.

 

Also as we dont use a laser beam or"magic eye" wind or snow won't affect the transmitters so you can get accurate and instant training results no matter how demanding the weather gets.

All our different products use very standard batteries that can be found at the local store (Double A and D models for the most part) Our products offer hundreds of training hours in battery life.

Do I have to calibrate or synchronize the Freelap Transmitters? 

 

 

Nope! Just set them up where you want them push ON and you’re ready to train! It's that simple!
