NKBTXDP-01Race Car Transmitter

Installation Instructions – Hard Wired Transmitter 1. Strip the leads back to expose the copper wire. Be careful not to damage the wire when stripping. 2. Attach one lead to +12 volts and the other lead to the body frame of the vehicle that the ground (negative) terminal of the battery is connected to. It does not matter whether the red or black lead is connected to +12 volts and ground as long as one is at +12 volts and the other is grounded. Current drawn by the transmitter is low. However the transmitter should be connected in such that the transmitter is disengaged when the vehicle is not running. **Do not exceed +14 volts or the transmitter may be damaged. 3. When power is delivered to the transmitter both the red and green LED lights will turn on momentarily. The red LED will shut off and the green LED light will flash approximately once a second to indicate that the transmitter is operational. If only the red LED light is on, it indicates voltage is too low for normal operation. Do not allow the voltage to go below +9 volts. Description Specification Voltage +14 > Voltage > +9V Current < 30 milliamps Transmitter Mounting • Label side of the transmitter faces down toward the track. Note: There are other systems that use a different orientation such as the one on the right. Be careful about mixing the orientations. • No metal or carbon fiber between transmitter and track. The transmitter must have a clear shot to the ground. Note: Signals can go through plastic so it is possible to use a piece of plastic as a mounting plate. It is possible to recess the transmitter, however keep in mind that recessing the transmitter can create problems such as shown below. 1) The label side should face down toward the track. 2) No metal should be between the label and the track. This is a poor orientation and will result in inconsistent performance. Poor location: Narrow window for detection. The signal can’t be seen well. Good location: No metal to block the signal. The detection window is very wide.

Introduction The Westhold RMS-3 is a sophisticated multi-component system used for the timing, scoring and management of motor sports racing events. The RMS-3 consists of electronic hardware and PC based MS-Windows® software. A basic hardware setup includes a computer, Interface Data Unit (IDU), Decoder, Loop Antenna, and transmitters. See fig. 1.1 3 (fig 1.1 - Basic RMS Configuration) RS-232 Decoder Loop Antenna (e.g. Located at Start/Finish) Coax IDU RaceBus Link Outside of scoring buildin g - Track-side Inside scoring building Balun Computer Each transmitter transmits a unique identification number. When a transmitter crosses a Loop Antenna, a Decoder reads this number and determines the crossing time of the transmitter. The Decoder sends this information to the IDU via the digital RaceBus network link. The IDU compiles all of the information and sends it to the computer over a serial link for final analysis and storage. Data can then be sent from the computer to other devices such as scoreboards, driver results printers, hand-held controllers and third party devices. The Interface Data Unit (IDU) acts as the central data management junction between the computer, Decoder, and additional devices. It coordinates both incoming and outgoing signals to and from the computer, synchronizing data for the entire system. The IDU intelligently organizes and filters data for the PC. This frees the PC from handling all the overhead of managing the RaceBus network and allows the overall system to maintain reliable real-time operation. Only a single IDU is needed per system. Each IDU can handle dozens of Decoders. The Decoder is a receiver system that processes the raw signals picked up by the Loop Antenna. Its job is to convert the raw signals into digital information that can then be transmitted via the RaceBus to the IDU. Multiple Decoders may be attached to the RaceBus to cover multiple timing points for information such as split times (see fig. 1.2) or pit row activity. Decoders may also be attached to each other in a daisy-chained configuration to cover wide tracks. See fig 1.3. Each Decoder stores what are known as hit records. Hit records describe the crossing of transmitters over the Loop Antennas. Each record consists of a transmitter identification number, the crossing time as well as a few other pieces of information such as transmitter battery status. The Decoder is capable of storing 65,000 hit records and capable of determining a crossing time with spatial accuracy typically between 2-3 inches. Under normal operation, the PC would upload this data and process it as the transmitters cross the Loo…
