Theory of Operation
The Iridium System is a complete timing system for Radio Controlled Cars. The transponders use infrared technology, An overhead bar is placed at the start/finish line approximately 12 inches(for Mini-Z) above the track with sensor modules placed every 14 inches. When a transponder passes underneath it will be detected and its ID will be sent to the PC. All 14 transponders can pass through simultaneously and all of them will be detected and counted.
Installation
The overhead sensor units are interconnected with the 14 inch cables supplied. Use as many sensor units as required for the width of your track. As few as one or thirty sensor units can be used. The orientation or which jack is used on the sensor unit does not matter. The interface board is connected to the PC via a USB jack, the lap counting system is powered by the computer.
Transponders
Transponders are powered by the Mini-Z. They should be mounted in the windshield area vehicle so they have a clear view to the outside of the car.
