Spektrum Lap Timing
SPMLTG5000 Gates and SPMLTT2500 Timing Receivers work with
Spektrum™ Telemetry equipped radio systems, making it easy to set up a
timing system without a personal computer. Compatible with Spektrum™
X-Bus and RPM Telemetry systems. Requires a Spektrum Telemetry capable
transmitter and receiver system.

Setting up the SPMLTG5000 Gate system
The Infrared (IR) LEDs need to be strung up facing across the race track. The
light beam from the IR LEDs is the virtual “gate” that will trigger the timing
system when the SPMLTT2500 passes.
IR LEDs may be attached to existing race gates, fence poles, or similar. Horizon
Hobby racing gates FPV10604 and FPV10605 feature eyelets which can
be utilized to hold the IR LEDs with a zip tie.
Tip: A simple stand to hold the timing system can be built with
common PVC material available from local hardware stores.
QTY Materials for vertical PVC gate assembly (not
included)
1 5 foot length of 1/2 inch PVC
6 12 inch sections of 1/2 inch PVC tube
3 1/2 inch PVC T-Fittings
Assemble the timing stand as shown and attach the timing
system using double sided tape and straps with hook and loop
material. Glue is usually not necessary to assemble to PVC
pipes, which also makes it easy to disassemble for
transport.

Set up vertical timing gate(s) on an outside section of the track, facing outward
across the track. Pointing the IR LEDs toward the center of the track may cause
incorrect lap timing readings.
When first powered up, the 7 segment display will show your current voltage in
single digits, starting with the first digit.
For example: If the battery voltage is 11.54V, it will first display 1,
then flash and show the second digit 1, then the third digit 5, and then the
final digit 4.
After the voltage is shown, the display on the base unit will alternate between
the Gate number and Power Level. Power Level is designated by an illuminated
decimal point. No decimal indicates the Gate number. When the display is
alternating between the Gate and Power settings, the base unit is in normal
operation mode.
Press and hold the button to enter the settings menu and change between
menu points. When the numbers displayed are solid, the base unit is in the
settings menu. Use a short press to change values. To save settings and exit
back to the normal operation mode, press and hold the button.
The Gate can be set for the gate number to define the start/finish gate and lap
segments. Up to 10 gates can be used. The Start/Finish gate is 0.
Add up to 9 more SPMLTG5000 gates, with each segment set to their own
number.* Lap segments are indicated in numerical order:
The Power Level can be adjusted to suit the environment.
• Bright sunny days will need high Power Level settings
• Indoor settings will need lower settings.
TIP: Turn the Power Level up for missed timing, turn the Power Level down if
the system is triggering the timer when it shouldn’t.
* RPM based timing can only support the start/finish gate, and cannot support
additional timing gates for lap segments.
Track Setup
Additional timing gates may be set up along the track at intervals to define lap
segments. Up to 9 lap segments may be added in addition to the finish line gate.

Connecting the SPMLTT2500
There are two methods to connect the Lap Timing Receiver to Spektrum
telemetry receivers.
1. For telemetry systems featuring an X-Bus connection, simply connect a
4-pin X-Bus to X-Bus cable between the Timing Receiver and the X-Bus
telemetry connector on the Telemetry device
Low Voltage Cutoff for the SPMLTG5000
The SPMLTG5000 will go into a low voltage mode if the battery voltage drops
below 10 volts. It will cease operation and begin alternating between “L” and
“B” on the display to indicated low battery.
2. The timing system can also utilize the RPM input for timing. Use the
included harness to connect the Lap timing sensor to the RPM port or
Lap timing port on receivers such as the SPM4649T. When using this
configuration, you must connect a 5V power supply to the SPMLTT2500.
5V Input
Tip: X-Bus based timing is
more accurate than RPM based
timing, and includes the option
of lap segments.

The Spektrum SPMFCF400 flight controller can be used directly with the
SPMLTT1000 sensor. When the flight controller is paired with the SPM4649T
reciever, the flight controller can send the lap timing information to the receiver
with the standard 3-wire receiver connection without any additional wiring.
Install the sensor from the top and solder the pins on the bottom of the flight
controller. The sensor should face out the left side of the quadcopter when
mounted to the flight controller.

SPMLTT1000
Tip: The SPMFCF400 paired with the SPMLTT1000 uses the Lap Counter telemetry
function, delivering the same performance and features as X-Bus based systems. This
combination is the lightest, simplest solution to add Spektrum lap timing on a quadcopter.

Installing the SPMLTT2500 on a Surface Vehicle
For surface applications, the
sensor must be mounted where it
can have a visible line of sight to
the Timing Gate in a window or on
top of the vehicle. Select a vertical
or Horizontal gate configuration,
and install the sensor to suit.The
sensor should point left or right for
a vertical Timing Gate, and straight
up for a Horizontal Timing Gate.

Installing the SPMLTT2500 on a quadcopter
Install the IR receiver with double-sided tape
or adhesive-backed hook and loop material.
The IR receiver must face the IR LEDs as the
vehicle passes the timing gate.
IMPORTANT: The IR receiver
sensor must point toward the
timing gate as it passes the gate.
Do not mount the sensor pointed
forward or backward. Vertical

Always use the latest transmitter updates available at SpektrumRC.com.
1. Select the Lap Timer menu in the Function List.
e latest transmitter updates available at SpektrumRC
co
2. Configure the timer mode and set the maximum number of laps.
3. In the Telemetry selection, choose LAP COUNTER if the sensor is
connected to the X-Bus connection or flight controller, or RPM if the sensor
is connected to an RPM input.
IMPORTANT: Select RPM when using the SPM4649T telemetry receiver
with the SPMLTT2500.
4. To log lap times onto an SD card, determine the file name and change the
option for Enabled? to Yes.
5. Select NEXT to choose event reporting options. This is where to configure
how and when the transmitter reports lap times (vibration, tone, voice).
