W.E.E.R. |
 |
|
Each personal transponder comes with a
110v charger and a 12v charger so
that it can be charged from your
car. Also, a quick mount
clip that is to be
attached to the right fork tube
using a plastic cable tie.
The transponder can then be fitted
onto the quick mount clip. |

Trackside Transponder Quick Mount Clip |
|
|
A racer who has more than one
motorcycle may want an additional
Quick Mount Clip. Since the
Quick Mount Clip is attached to
the bike's fork tube using cable
ties, it is best to have one
clip mounted on each motorcycle.
It takes just seconds to snap the
transponder into the Quick Mount
Clip then secure it with the
rubber strap. |

How does the Trackside Transponder
have a longer life than the AMB MX
Transponder? |
|
The answer is in the motion
detector. When the Trackside
Transponder is not in motion for 3
minutes, it goes to sleep.
When the transponder is back in
motion, it awakes and starts
transmitting a signal. With
the transponder turning on and off
in this manner, you will get
much more use out of a single
charge in addition to extending
the life of the battery. The
AMB MX transponder starts its
death march the second you remove
it from the charger and is dead in
just 4 days.

Trackside Transponder Detection
Kit components |
 |
 |
 |
|
1. WEER READER |
2. WEER DIGITAL DATA CABLE |
3. WEER MASTER INTERFACE |
|
The Reader has two white wires
connected to the Loop which act
as the antennae in the ground at
the finish line. The other
cable coming out of the Reader
plugs into the Data Transmission
Cable which links it to the
Master Interface. The Reader does
not require electric power.
Up to two photocells can be
connected to the Reader at the
same time. |
The Digital Data Transmission
Cable comes in length of 25 meters
(82 feet). The cable connects the
Reader to the Master Interface using
high-quality waterproof
connectors. Multiple cables
can be linked together for more
length or you may special order
cables up 1000 meters. The digital
cable is heavily
shielded which prevents accidently
detecting a transponder that may
pass over it. |
The Master Interface is connected to the
Reader using the Data Transmission
Cable. The Master Interface also
gets connected to the scoring
computer using a USB cable.
A miniature battery backup system
is built into the console of the
Master Interface in case you were to
loose electric during a race. |

Mounting the Transponder |
|
| |
The transponder is mounted to your bike
using the mounting clip provided with
your transponder.
Follow
the step by step directions below to
properly mount your transponder.
|
|
|
 |
| |
1.
Place tape around the fork tube where
the clip will be attached.
The tape will keep the mounting
clip from spinning around on the fork
tube. |
|
|
| |
2.
Using plastic tie wraps, attach the
mounting clip to the right fork tube
behind the front number plate.
Notice the arrow on the mounting
clip and ensure that it points down.
The mounting clip should be
attached so that it is facing forward.
|
| |
3.
Tighten the plastic tie wraps as tight
as you can get them.
Test the mounting clip by trying
to spin it on the fork tube.
It should not be able to spin.
You can use tape over the plastic
tie wraps if needed.
|
| |
4.
Remove the transponder from the charging
cradle then fit the transponder into the
mounting clip.
The arrow on the transponder
should be pointing down.
|
| |
5.
Pull the rubber strap around the
transponder and hook it on the hook of
the mounting clip. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Charging the Transponder |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Your transponder comes with a personal charger that
can be powered by a 110-volt
outlet or the 12-volt outlet in
your car.
The light on top of the
transponder will blink green
indicating that it is working.
A red blinking light
indicates the battery has less
than one hour of life remaining.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
The Trackside Transponder by WEER has a motion
detection sensor that lets your
transponder turn OFF when it is
not in motion for 2 ½ minutes.
The purpose of this is to
conserve the battery life and to
let you get more use of the
transponder between charges.
The transponder is also
turned to OFF mode by sitting in
the personal charger.
The transponder is turned
back ON when it is removed from
the charger and in motion again. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
To charge your transponder, place it in the charging
cradle and plug the cradle in to a
power outlet. The light on top of the transponder will be solid red while
it is charging.
The light will stay on the
entire time you are charging it.
Do not charge the
transponder for more than 10 hours
at one time.
After charging, you can
unplug the charging cradle and
store the transponder in the
cradle to keep the transponder in
OFF mode until you are ready to
use it at a race. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
If you are going to a race for the day, placing your
transponder on the charger for up
to 2 hours will give you enough
battery life to make it through a
day of racing. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
At least one time per year, you
should completely drain the
battery on your transponder.
To drain the battery, you
will have to remove it from the
charging cradle and keep the
transponder in motion.
We suggest setting the
transponder in your car and let it
drain while you drive regularly to
work and other places.
The light on top of the
transponder will not light up once
the battery is completely drained.
A full 10-hour charge is
recommended after you have
completely drained the battery. |
