Safety
All products are designed as supplement to make karting safer but cannot replace safe track procedures. If
equipment fails, the normal operating procedure must still be adequate to safely operate the track.
This guide has been written with great care. However, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible, either for any
errors occurring in this publication or for their consequences.

1Getting started
This manual provides one with all the information needed to install, configure and use the Xtra.Beacon.
1.1 What is in the box
Before proceeding, make sure the box contains the following items:
1. Xtra.Beacon
Figure 1 –Xtra.Beacon
2. 5 -meter-long Ethernet cable with a waterproof connector on one side
Figure 2 - Ethernet cable
v 1.1 6
3. Power over Ethernet injector
Figure 3 - Power over Ethernet injector
4. Magnet tip pen
5. 2x heat shrink
6. 25 -meter-long loop cable
v 1.1 7
1.2 Installation
The Xtra.Beacon can be used to divide a track in multiple sectors. Each sector provides the transponder with different
speed settings. Before installing the Xtra.Beacon it is important to determine the location of the desired sectors.
The Xtra.Beacon can be used to:
1. Divide a track in sectors and slow go-karts down at dangerous sections of a track.
2. Automatically slow go-karts down when entering the pitlane.
3. Automatically speed up go-karts when leaving the pitlane.
4. Measure laptimes.
It is possible to use functions 1 and 4 of the Xtra.Beacon simultaneously.
v 1.1 8
1.2.1 Placement
The Xtra.Beacon can be installed in various combinations. Figure 4 describes multiple possible Xtra.Beacon locations.
Each red line is a beacon loop. When an Xtra.Beacon just for timing, only one Xtra.Beacon is required on the
start/finish line.
Figure 4 - Possible beacon locations
Whether a location is suitable for placing an Xtra.Beacon depends on the presence of metal. A beacon loop must be
clear of metal around the track, otherwise the Xtra.Beacon signal can be detected in undesired locations on the
track.
Once the Xtra.Beacon locations have been determined, the loops can be installed. Each loop requires a rectangular
groove to be cut in the track surface. This groove must be 10mm deep and 3mm wide as shown in figure 6.
Figure 5 describes the desired loop dimensions. When these dimensions are not met, the correct operation of the
Xtra.Beacon cannot be guaranteed.
After the loops are installed on the track, the loop can be connected to the beacon using Faston terminals.

Figure 6 - Groove dimensions
v 1.1 9
1.2.2 Mounting
The Xtra.Beacon can be mounted through the four M5 holes. The Xtra.Beacon can be mounted in all orientations
as long as no metal objects are in the vicinity of the loop.
v 1.1 10
1.2.3 Connecting
This chapter describes how to connect the Xtra.Beacon.
Figure 7 –Xtra.Beacon placeholder
1. Ethernet connector: Used to provide power to the Xtra.Beacon through power over Ethernet and may also be
used for Ethernet communication. The waterproof connector of the supplied Ethernet cable must be connected
to this connector and the other end of the cable must be connected to the port labeled OUT on the power over
Ethernet injector.
2. FASTON 250 terminals: Used to connect the loop with the Xtra.Beacon.
Figure 8 - Power over Ethernet injector placeholder
The power over Ethernet injector features two ports labeled IN and OUT. The port labeled OUT should be used to
connect the power over Ethernet injector to the Xtra.Beacon using the supplied Ethernet cable. The port labeled IN
may be used to provide the Xtra.Beacon with access to an Ethernet network by connecting the port to a network
router or switch using an Ethernet cable.
For the power over Ethernet injector to function, it must be plugged into a wall socket.
