UNIQUE UNIGO IDEAS

UniGo combines many new ideas not seen
before in a Unipro Laptimer:

• High resolution display with gray tones.
Providing more than 40000 pixels with
16 gray levels makes text and graphs
easy to read.

• High-speed USB connector for fast and
easy upload of data to a PC or MAC.

• Standard le system means no driver
needed on the PC or MAC. Looks like a
standard Flash drive.

• Very high brightness, fully program­mable warning LEDs. Clearly visible in
full daylight.

• Enough buttons will make it easy to

operate. Each menu line is explained
with a help text at the bottom of the
display.

EASY TO USE

Even with all the advanced features, the
Laptimer is very easy to use.

The graphical display makes it effortless to
see and analyze the lap times and data values
saved in the Laptimer. Data analysis can be
done directly on the Laptimer without the need
to transfer the data to a PC.

The high resolution display with 16 gray tones
is easy to read, and supports different sizes of
text and numbers. Even icons are much nicer
to look at.

The feedback we get from drivers and teams
about UniGo tells us that we have succeeded
in making the UniGo easy to use.

Introduction Examples

Installing the Laptimer

A good installation is key to get good and reliable operation of

UniGo. Read this installation guide and learn how to:

Install the Laptimer, attach cables and sensors and see how to

mount it all on the go-kart.

You will be ready to go in 20 minutes...

MOUNTING ON STEERING
WHEEL

The rst step of the installation is the mounting

of the Laptimer on the steering wheel.
The Laptimer should be mounted at the top
of the steering wheel to make it easy to read
during driving and to operate it in the pit.

11

Installing the

Laptimer

UniGo mounted at the top of the steering
wheel for easy reading and operation.

The Laptimer is mounted using the included
bracket and you need to be carefully to mount
all the hard and soft discs in the right order
to avoid vibrations and to ensure the correct
distance from the steering wheel.

Start the installation with a soft disc.

Finish with a soft disc, hard disc, washer
and the nut.

12

Installing the

Laptimer

Installation

UniGo mounted at the correct distance to
the steering wheel.

Before tightening the nut, make sure that all
the cables can be connected without conict­ing with the steering wheel or other obstacles.

CONNECTING POWER

UniGo is supplied with a battery holder
with room for six AA batteries. You can use
standard AA Alkaline batteries or rechargeable
types like NiMH. Make sure the battery holder
is securely attached to the frame. If any of the
batteries are allowed to move and loose con­tact, the Laptimer will not functioning properly.

Battery holder with six AA Alkaline batteries
powering UniGo. Rechargeable can be used.

Rechargeable battery pack powering UniGo.

A rechargeable battery pack will give a lot of
power with a low weight. It can be recharge
using the same connector as used for the go­kart’s battery.
Withthe the DC/DC converter you can power
the Laptimer directly from the go-kart’s battery.

CONNECTING RPM WIRE

The RPM wire is used to pick up the engine’s
revolution count by sensing the pulses on the
ignition cable going from the ignition coil to
the spark plug.
The ignition is a very noisy signal and extra
care should be paid on installing the RPM
wire.
The wire can be removed from the Laptimer
and attached again if needed. It is simply a
wire going through two holes with a loop.

Another alternative is to power UniGo from a
standard rechargeable battery pack or from
the go-kart battery through the optional DC/DC
converter.

Run the RPM wire away from other cables.

To make the best possible installation, keep
the RPM wire away from all other cables.

Installation

RPM wire attached with cable ties.

The RPM wire needs to run all the way from
the Laptimer to the engine on the back.
Secure the wire all the way with cable ties.

13

Installing the

Laptimer

RUNNING CABLES

The installation of the Laptimer should be seen
as a permanent installation on the go-kart and
the time to run the cable in a nice way is time
well spend.

Cable xed to frame. Run RPM wire sepa­rately.

Use plenty of cable ties and make sure to use
nice soft bends on the cable. When tightening
the cable ties, make sure not to tightening
them too hard to avoid squeeze the cable.

The RPM wire is running alone all the way
to the ignition.

RPM wire mounted to pick up the ignition
signal from the ignition wire.

The RPM wire is attached to the ignition cable
in a way that gives a good pick up of the sig­nal. Twist the wire around the cable and make
a loop at the end like shown on the picture.

Cable xed to the frame with cable ties.

Running the cables from the Laptimer on the
steering wheel is the biggest challenge. The
cable need to be mounted in a way that the
steering wheel can be moved freely.

14

Installing the

Laptimer Installation

Cable xed to the frame with cable ties.

Attach the cables together with a cable tie
and attach the bundle to the steering column.
Make a soft bend with a suitable length and
check the steering wheel have total freedom
in turning. The cables should not pull at the
connectors when turning and no sharp bend
should be allowed.

Gray splitter for temperature and black for
receiver and speed.

Professional installation will ensure profes­sional results.

SPLITTERS

Cable splitters are used to increase the
number of sensor that can be connected to the
Laptimer.

Two splitters mounted to increase number
of sensors.

Two different cable splitters are used. A gray
version is used for temperature and a black
version for everything else.

The splitters reduce the number of cables to
the steering wheel.

The splitters reduces the number of cables to
the steering wheel and is part of the perma­nently installation. Make sure that splitters are
securely fasten to the frame.

MAGNET RECEIVER

The magnet receiver uses permanently
magnets placed in the asphalt to trigger the
Laptimer. There is typically between 1 and 3
magnets on a track. If there are more than
one, the rest is used for split points.

Magnet receiver mounted at the lowest
point on the go-kart.

The magnet receiver need to be mounted as
close to the asphalt as possible, typically on
the bottom plate at the front. Use the included
bracket and drill a hole in the plate. The
receiver need to be facing either against the
front or the rear. Do not mount it facing left
or right.

The IR receiver is installed on the front of the
kart. It should be pointing to the left or right
depending on the placement of the transmit­ter.

SPEED KIT FRONT

The speed kit for the front wheel is used if the
kart do not use brakes at the front wheels.
Start by mounting the centering bush the
bearing. This will be used to ensure a perfect
centered sensor disc.

The centering bush is placed in the bearing.

IR RECEIVER

The IR receiver use infrared light to trigger the
Laptimer. A Unipro IR transmitter is placed at

the start/nish line and the infrared light goes

across the track. The infrared receiver placed
on the kart will receive the infrared beam and
trigger the Laptimer.

IR receiver mounter at the front, facing the

right way at the start/nish line!

Sensor disc is xed using the three screws

and centered using the centering bush.

Then place the sensor disc and fasten the three
screws. Make sure to tighten them equally.

SPEED KIT REAR

The speed kit for the rear axle is available in
different sizes to match the axle used. Mount
the sensor disc and tighten the screw to secure
it. The sensor disc has six magnets to give a
good resolution on speed and distance.

Speed kit mounted on rear axle. Notice the
nice bend on the wheel sensor cable.

The wheel sensor is mounted using the in-

cluded tting. The important part is to get the

distance between the sensor and the magnets
3 - 10 mm and to make a soft bend on the
cable as seen on the picture.

T-junction mounted in the cooling water
hose with a temperature sensor.

CYLINDER TEMPERATURE

The cylinder head temperature is measured just
below the spark plug. The cylinder temperature
sensor is available in two different sizes and it
is important to order the right one.

Sensor mounted instead of the washer on
the spark plug.

WATER TEMPERATURE

The water temperature sensor is typically
mounted in the T-junction that goes into the
cooling water hose. First mount the sensor in
the T-junction and then mount the T-junction
the hole. Make sure the hose is waterproof by
tightening the clamps.

Cylinder head temperature sensor mounted
below the spark plug.

Before mounting the cylinder sensor, remove
the washer from the spark plug.

EXHAUST TEMPERATURE

The exhaust sensor is mounted in the exhaust

pipe. The tting for the exhaust sensor is

welded to the exhaust 12 cm (4.7 inch) from
the backside of the piston. That way the sensor
measures the temperature of the gas and not

the ames.
Start by welding the exhaust tting to the

exhaust pipe and then drill a ø4.5 mm hole

through the tting for the sensor.

Always check if local regulation might
prevent you from using an exhaust tem-
perature sensor in the race.

Place the exhaust sensor in the tting and

fasten the nut. Do not tightening it too much.

Exhaust sensor mounted with a big soft
bend on the cable.

Make sure the cable is not touching the ex­haust pipe and make a soft bend on the cable
like shown on the picture.

Drill a ø4.5 mm hole for the sensor through

the exhaust tting.
