Timing lines or markers in the Kart Timing System (KTS) are provided by the KTS Beacon. This is a simple unit that can be easily carried and set up quickly at any indoor kart track. For even more timing precision, deploy three beacons to collect sector times as well as lap times.

Description

A complete KTS Beacon Assembly consists of three pieces: beacon stand base, beacon stand pole, and the KTS Beacon itself. The beacon stand base has is an "X" cross that is highly stable while exhibiting a small footprint. The beacon stand pole is inserted into the beacon stand base and then into the KTS Beacon itself as shown in the picture above. The assembled unit is 24 inches high and extremely lightweight.

Place the KTS Beacon Assembly trackside and turn on the power. The unit will blink the stored beacon code several times (during which you can change the code as needed) before starting to operate (indicated by the LED flashing once every 6 to 9 seconds). All KTS Units can share the same beacons. That's it!

NOTE: Remember to ask for permission first. No kart track we have visited has refused to allow a beacon, although they will not want you on the track when karts are in motion.
