1. Introduction
1.1. This manual
This user manual describes how to install, use and maintain the X2 Transponder.
1.2. Intended use of the X2 Transponder
The main X2 Transponder components (X2 Transponder and X2 RaceKey) are mounted on a car, motorcycle,
kart or bike to measure lap times.
1.3. Description of the X2 Transponder and X2 System
The track you are racing on has a MYLAPS system installed at the start and finish line and maybe at
intermediate points along the track. The system picks up the signal sent out by the transponder mounted on
your vehicle. This signal is picked up by a loop installed in the track and lap times are measured. This way the
system calculates your lap times and your exact race position. This data used for creating official race results
and can be published to mylaps.com in your personal MYLAPS account.
The X2 Transponder consists of two main components: The X2 Transponder and the X2 RaceKey. Two different
X2 Transponder configurations are available:
 Rechargeable – no cabling between components (transponder – can be eventually charged by
connecting the X2 RaceKey via a USB cable)
 Direct power (DP)– all components are connected via cabling to a vehicle 12 VDC supply
To activate the X2 Transponder, a subscription first needs to be downloaded onto the X2 RaceKey, and
secondly the X2 RaceKey and transponder need to be physically connected to complete the activation.
Beforehand, the X2 Transponder needs to be registered in your MYLAPS account.
