Trackside Infra-Red Lap Beacon (optional)
The trackside infra-red lap beacon has a threaded socket on its
base for mounting to a standard photographic tripod. It should be
located as follows:
•
As near to the start-finish line as possible
•
At the same height as the on-vehicle detector
•
Level, so that it emits a horizontal beam
•
It must be between 6 and 95 feet from the vehicle when the
vehicle passes it
• Avoid positioning it so that the sun is directly behind it
when it is being used.
• Where the unit is to be used for lengthy periods in very
hot, sunny conditions, it should be protected by shading it
from direct sunlight.
• Do not allow water to be sprayed onto the transmitter
lenses. During wet conditions, fit a protective shroud over
the beacon. Do not cover the beacon, for example using a
plastic bag.
