3. Installation of the RC Timing system
The MYLAPS RC Timing System, is designed for the timing and scoring of RC model car races and for Drone racing. The
(magnetic) signal of each car/drone carrying a MYLAPS RC transponder is picked up by the detection loop installed in the
track surface. This loop is connected to the MYLAPS RC decoder. The decoder timestamps the received transponder signals
and sends this data to a connected computer.
Each transponder has a unique number, which enables you to identify and time/score each RC car on the track.
The MYLAPS decoder is a precision instrument. Therefore, please handle it with care and keep the decoder out of direct
sunlight and avoid high humidity. Take special precautions in case of thunderstorms by disconnecting all cables (coax,
Ethernet and mains) from the MYLAPS decoder. Nearby lightning strikes can damage the decoder when these cables are
connected.
