Full description of the product (H1: magnetic sensor Alfano 90 cm - Reference A-1302)
The magnetic sensor Alfano (length 90 cm, reference A-1302) is an essential data acquisition accessory essential for automatic recording of your time in karting turn. It is designed to instantly detect the passage of kart on the buried tapes or loops under the asphalt of the majority of national and international karting circuits.
Thanks to its high sensitivity, this sensor transmits in real time the magnetic pulse to your display Alfano, triggering the stopwatch to the thousandth of a second and cutting your time per partial (sectors). A length of 90 cm, This cable is perfectly sized for a clean and direct passage from the floor to your steering wheel, avoiding superfluous cable overhanglers on the chassis.
Total compatibility with devices Alfano :
This original sensor is compatible with a wide generation of data acquisition systems:
(Note: Also available in our lengths in lengths 130 cm and 300 cm to fit specific configurations, two-cellated karts or racing cars).
👨🔧. The Tip in Michel (the corner of the expert)
* "Hi chronos hunters! The magnetic sensor A-1302, it's your eyes on the track. If your Alfano lights well but refuses to trigger the timer when you switch the finish line, look for: either the sensor is too high or the cable was sheared.
My trick of old wolf circuits for installation: respect the height and direction of the arrow scrupulously !
For the detection to be perfect, the cylindrical tip of the sensor must be fixed under the floor of the kart, as low as possible. The ideal height compared to the ground is located between 2 cm and 4 cm maximum. If you go up too high, the signal will be too weak and you will "jump" turns.
Look well the cylinder: there is a small arrow engraved on it. This arrow must imperatively point to the ground (the track).
Side Fastening under the floor, use a soft plastic or rubber support bracket rather than a rigid metal attachment. If you take a strict vibrator and the floor rubs, the plastic will absorb the shock without breaking the sensor. Finally, when you trace the 90 cm thread along the steering column to the steering wheel, attach it with Rislan necklaces but leave Mou at the level of the joints of the direction. If the cable is too tense, it will eventually tear or cut it inside the sheath at the first big flying in the Pif-Paf! "*
-. The assembly & positioning guide: step by step
1.Choix location under the floor:5 min.Install the kart on its stand trolley. Locate an unobstructed area under the floor at the front of the kart (usually near the footrests), away from sources of high vibrations and moving elements.
2.Fixation of the magnetic probe:5 min.Install the sensor in its dedicated support under the floor. Follow the tip in Michel: Make sure the arrow points down and adjust the height to be between 2 and 4 cm above the ground.
3.Cheminement 90 cm cable:10 min.Return the 90 cm cable along the chassis tubes and then the steering column. Attach it with small plastic necklaces (cable clamps). Check that the cable does not rub on the fuel tank or direction rods.
4.Raccordement and management test:5 min.Connect the A-1302 sensor plug to the back of your Alfano (Pro III, EVO, BX4, etc.). Turn the steering wheel to the left and bottom right to validate that the cable is not undergoing mechanical tension and it does not interfere with piloting.
❓ 5. FAQ SEO (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Is this magnetic sensor compatible with the model Alfano 6 ?
A: TheAlfano 6 mainly uses its built-in GPS technology to record the turn times and mapping the tracks. However, if you ride on a covered circuit (Indoor) or in an area where the GPS signal is masked, you can connect this magnetic sensor A-1302 to switch to a conventional timing by track magnetic loops.
Q: What cable length should I choose between 90 cm, 130 cm and 300 cm ?
A: The model of 90 cm proposed here is perfect for the vast majority of standard adult competition karts (Rotax, X30, Kz), because the distance between the front floor and the steering wheel is very short. The 130 cm version is recommended if you prefer to pass the cable through the side of the side pontoon, while the 300 cm version is reserved for the two-seater karts, minicars or automobiles (coast races, sedans).
Q: How many magnetic tapes can the sensor manage on a track ?
A: The sensor detects each magnetic strip raw. It is then in the settings of your housing Alfano (Pro III, EVO ...) that you configure the circuit: you can tell it if there is 1 single band (finish line only) or up to 3 or 4 tapes to obtain intermediate partial times (sector 1, sector 2) over your turn.
