innovative and flexible instruments.
We suggest to periodically check on www.aim-sportline.com new releases of
software and/or firmware for GPS05 Module or for the loggers it can be connected to. Before connecting GPS05 Module to any AIM logger please make sure the firmware
has been updated.
This user manual is to be considered as an integration of the single loggers user ones so, please refer always to them for any information concerning subjects not expressly developed in this manual.

1 – GPS05 Module
The newest GPS05 Module is faster in satellite signal acquisition and more reliable in adverse situations: it includes in a single unit both receiver and antenna, making installation even easier.
Lightweight and waterproof, GPS05 Module is connectable to AIM loggers via CAN cable.
The new GPS05 Module takes a new GPS Manager release, which allows to set
track start/finish lines and splits.

2.1 – Connection and Power
GPS05 Module
User manual Release 1.01
The figure above shows a CAN network made of MXL Pista and GPS05 Module. To connect MXL Pista to GPS05 Module use the 5 pins connector mounted on the
logger back side as shown below.
To connect MXL Pro connect GPS05 Module to the CAN cable labelled EXP
(expansion) of the logger wiring.

2.2 – Connection with additional peripherals
GPS05 Module
User manual Release 1.01
The figure above shows a CAN network of LCU-ONE and GPS05 Module. Peripherals can be connected to Data Hub using one of the 4 CAN inputs.
The CAN network can be further increased using the same logic.
To connect MXL Pista to GPS05 Module use the 5 pins connector mounted on the
logger back side as shown below.
To connect MXL Pro connect GPS05 Module to the CAN cable labelled EXP
(expansion) of the logger wiring.

2.3 – Installation on the vehicle
For a proper working of GPS05 Module, please pay attention while installing it on the
vehicle.
Install GPS05 Module far from heat sources and let the antenna cable pass as far as
possible from electromagnetic sources like coil or alternator.
Please use the proper hole to fix GPS05 Module to a bracket steady on the chassis.
In case of car installations, please place the antenna on the roof of the car so that the magnet on the bottom of the antenna can fix strongly to the metal plate.
In case of bike installations, please place the antenna on the tail of the bike, where the surface is flat and looking upwards.
Install GPS05 Module near to the biker seat so that CAN cable (less sensitive to
electromagnetic radiations) and not GPS antenna cable, passes near to the engine.

2.4 – Configuration Wizard
No system configuration is needed. The systems self-configures at start up. It is suggested to switch on the system a few minutes before entering the track.
9
2.5 – GPS Laptimer
GPS05 Module is now available with a new and very useful feature: lap timing.
It allows to show and record lap/split times without installing any beacon receiver nor
transmitters. It is only sufficient a GPS05 Module with firmware version 35.13 or later connected to an MXL with firmware version 14.86.22 or later.
The first operation to be done is GPS beacons setting for the complete lap and for the splits. This allows the module to capture lap/split times.
WARNING: this operation is to be performed the first time and once only for each track. Next time the track is automatically recognized by the logger.
28
2.5.1 – Preliminary operation
GPS Lap timer can detect both lap and split times but, being an external expansion that works as a slave device, its detection mode with or without splits depends on the
configuration of its master logger, in this case MXL. This means splits have to be set via software in “Lap” box of Race Studio 2 “System configuration” window (accepted values are between 1 and 6). MXL visualization mode is to be set as well as and then
configuration has to been transmitted to the logger. Here below is shown how to set these parameters.
Please refer to Race Studio Configuration user manual for further information about
the system configuration.

2.5.2 – How to set GPS beacons
Here follow the steps to set start/finish line and splits position of GPS05 Module:
• ensure GPS05 Module is correctly connected to MXL
• press “MENU” button on MXL keyboard.
• the system shows a menu with backlight and GPS options
• select “Set GPS beacon” using “>>/<<” buttons
• press “OK” button
MXL asks to set start/finish line
Reach the point to be considered as start/finish line and press “OK” button Start/finish line position is saved.
Once start/finish line is set, if the system is configured to capture splits, the page shown below appears; reach the point of the track to be considered as split and press “OK” button.
Once the configuration is over, the system shows start page and can record times. “GOOD TRK”, circled in the figure below, confirms that the track has been recognised lap and split times can be recorded.
To cancel the proceeding switch MXL off and then on again.
Warning: in case of low signal the system could ask again for beacon settings.
It is moreover recommended not to set lap or split markers under bridges or
near to obstacles.

2.5.3 – Additional functions
GPS05 Module can record up to 50 track configurations with up to 5 splits for each
track. Once the number of 50 tracks reached it is necessary to download data on a PC to manage more tracks. Once saved, the circuit is automatically recognised when
entering that track with that GPS05 Module connected to MXL. WARNING: MXL with GPS Lap timer manages signals coming from an optical receiver too. It is suggested to disconnect the traditional infrared receiver from MXL
to avoid risk of lap times duplications.
10
2.6 – Data Visualisation
• Buttons to scroll channels and satellite status
• Number of received satellites
• GPS Status:
o SEARCH = searching for satellites o WEAK = signal is weak; o GOOD = reception is ok
Note: “Channels” and “Satellite status” pages are scrolled using “<<” and “>>” buttons only if MXL bottom static string is disabled. Pay attention while configuring MXL. For further information refer to Race Studio Configuration user manual.

2.7 – Data download
Software and data download mode are the same of MXL.
