Introduction

The pack M4 contains a display model ADM (medium) and a box ABX4.

The pack M4GPS has the same display but a box ABX4GPS, this box is integrated with a GPS

module that obtains the speed, track mapping and GPS timing.

These boxes have 4 connectors :

1) Timing : magnetic/infrared green connector

2) Temperature (T1) / Lambda red connector

3) RPM (HighandLow tension PRW) yellow connector

4) BUS (to connect the display) black connector

The pack M4/M4GPS is delivered with a magnetic sensor ref.A1301, a RPM engine sensor

ref.A1601, a BUS cable ref.A3101 allowing the connection between the box and its display,

box support fittings, the batteries and an USB Bluetooth adapter for the download of your

data and system firmware update.

The transfer of data to the computer is made via the integrated Bluetooth module.

Installation

CORRECT

The BOX must be fixed below the Nassau

panel like this drawing

NOT CORRECT

The BOX cannot be installed on the floor!

Important information

- Insert the male connector all the way before tightening the nut.

- Use a sparkplug or an anti-interference sparkplug boot equipped with a 5 Ohms

minimum resistance for an optimal system performance.

- The installation is finished; re-start the system so it can recognize the connected sensors.

- Use a Torx X20 screwdriver to tighten the battery cap.

Power supply

The M4/M4GPS is equipped with 2 batteries AA 1,5V type. On the welcome page, you can

check the batteries’ life. When the power becomes too weak, a message appears.

When this message displays, M4/M4GPS

goes automatically off after 10 seconds.

Remark :

Always check the batteries’ life before beginning a long session. The consumption and speed

of discharge depend on the quality and type of batteries, that’s why it is strongly

recommended to always check the batteries’ life icon on the welcome page. The GPS

module of the M4GPS, the intensity of the backlight and the LED brightness intensity

decrease the life of batteries.

Note: the GPS module requires +/- 40% of the system’s total energy to

function.

Batteries The technology applied to our new systems requires larger battery consumption;battery

quality is crucial ! There are 3 major types of AA batteries on the market.

Salines :

Salines are rarely used, they only have about a third of the energy of Alkaline batteries.

Alkalines :

Alkaline batteries are the best option.

Rechargeable:

Very good option, but the qualities from a brand to another are important. A bad brand

loses its energy even with no use at about 1% a day. Furthermore, these batteries have a

memory effect, if you recharge a battery which is half full while in use, you will not be able

to use more than half of the stored energy, and the other half will be lost. There are very

good rechargeable batteries that even with no use only losses 12% during a whole year

and they don’t have a memory effect, you can thus use all the energy, these batteries were

used in our new systems with complete success.

Recommended examples of brands : SANYO Enellope XX and the UNIROSS Hydro, they are

more expensive but will give a lot of satisfaction; you can recharge them minimum 500

times. They are used in Professional photography.

Creating a Track

Important: for proper visualization and data recording it is necessary, before using the

device in a race, to configure the track layout. The track layout will be saved with a name of

your choice for future use.

A) Creation of a track with magnetic strip or infrared transmitter

Trackname

Press «OK» to edit the name of the new

track (maximum 11 characters), you can use

26 letters of the alphabet, figures and

spaces.

Timing type

In the menu « CHRONO » choose the type

of sensor used for timing.

- Magnetic

- Infrared

- GPS

- Magnetic + GPS

Number of partials

In the menu « NUMBER », indicate the

number of magnetic strips or infrared

transmitters installed on the track.

You are limited to 3.

Starting point

If the track possesses more than 1 magnetic

strip or more than 1 infrared transmitter.

In the menu « START », select the magnetic

strip or the infrared transmitter where you

would like timing to commence.

Obscurity

Page 15: M4 / M4GPS - eikoms.com

15

« OBSCURITY »

This option was created to avoid the risk of

recording false lap times.

Select how many seconds you would like

the M4/M4GPS to “ignore” signals from

extra magnetic strip(s) or infrared

transmitters (beacons) after having

received the impulse from the start/end

magnetic strip/infrared transmitter

(beacon).

This time, consequently, has to be less than

the time it takes to complete a full lap, so it

doesn’t ignore your start/end magnetic

strip/infrared transmitter (beacon) point as

well.

Then, confirm with « OK » to enclose and

record the track in your database.

B) Createa track with GPS (only with M4GPS)

IMPORTANT : For the option of magnetic + GPS or only GPS, it’s necessary to go out on track

and record the GPS coordinates for configuration of the track layout.

How to create a track using GPS:

After editing the name,

In the menu « CHRONO », select : « GPS »,

Then, select « Rec. Position GPS »,

Then, press on « OK » to prepare the device

for the recording of the GPS coordinates.

In case of the absence of the GPS signal, the

information « Wait for GPS Signal » displays

in the screen. In this case, go back to the

homepage and wait to receive the GPS

signal. The number of satellites has to be at

least 6, then, redo the programming.

How to record the GPS positions on the track:

Page 16: M4 / M4GPS - eikoms.com

16

Run at more than 20Km/hour.

Press «OK» at the moment wished to

record the GPS point of departure. The

figure 1 replaces the figure 0.

PARTIALS

Possibility of recording the GPS coordinates

of 2 points to create up to 3 splits by

pressing the button « OK ». In every

recorded position, the figure increases.

END

Once the number 3 appears, you have set

your starting point and 2 points for partials.

Just drive until your lap ends, the M4GPS

automatically recognizes the departure line;

the device ends the programming, saves the

track in its database and immediately starts

a session with race display.

C) Creation of a track with magnetic strip + GPS (Only with M4GPS)

Page 17: M4 / M4GPS - eikoms.com

17

Note:

The combination magnetic strip + GPS are possible if the track possesses one or two

magnetic strip(s) because the GPS, in this case, will be useful only to fill the number of

missing partial(s). Example : if the track possesses 1 magnetic strip, the system can add 2

GPS positions to obtain a total of 3 partials in the lap.

The magnetic strip will be the only reference for starting up the device and by consequence

the lap timing.

IMPORTANT : For the option of magnetic + GPS or only GPS, it’s necessary to go out on track

and record the GPS coordinates for configuration of the track layout.

Procedure to create a track MAG + GPS :

After editing the name,

In the menu « CHRONO », select MAG+GPS.

In the menu « NUMBER », configure the

number of magnetic strips installed on the

track.

In the menu « START », configure the

magnetic strip which will serve to start the

device.

In the menu « OBSCURITY », configure the

obscurity time (explained above).

Then, press the button corresponding to

the lower-left arrow, « Rec. Position GPS »

appears as selected.

Then, press on «OK» to prepare the device

for the recording of the GPS positions on

the track.

In case of the absence of the GPS signal, the

information « Wait for GPS Signal » displays

on the screen. In that case, go back to the

welcome page and wait for the reception of

a GPS signal. The number of satellites has

to be at least 6, then, redo the

programming.

Procedure to record magnetic strips and to record GPS positions on the track

Page 18: M4 / M4GPS - eikoms.com

18

Run at more than 20Km/hour.

STARTING point

The recording starts in presence of the

magnetic strip of departure. The figure 1

replaces the figure 0.

PARTIALS

Two cases are possible :

First case : the track possesses 1 magnetic

strip; in this case, it is possible to get 2 GPS

positions. In every recorded position, the

figure increases.

Second case : the track possesses 2

magnetic strips; in this case, it is possible to

get a single GPS position.

END

When the lap ends, the M4GPS

automatically recognizes the departure line;

the device ends the programming, saves it

in its database and immediately starts a

session with race display.

IMPORTANT : in case the track possesses a

single magnetic strip, you are not obliged to

get 2 GPS points; in this case, the track will

only have 2partials.

IMPORTANT : if the lap ends without having

acquired GPS positions, the system does

not enclose the configuration of the track.

In this case, continue to run and redo a lap

of the track to program at least one GPS

position.

Memory

Also think of checking the available memory with the memory space in the welcome page or

the time remaining in the setup menu --- > REC. not to saturate the memory when you run.

You can record a maximum of 99 sessions by track.

You can record a maximum of 327 sessions on all the tracks.

You can record a maximum of 99 laps by closed track session, if you run more laps, a new

session will start automatically.

The maximum time is 1 hour by lap.

GPS

GPS Signal

On switching on your M4GPS, it will wait for the GPS signal. The waiting time and the

reception depends on several parameters:

The environment in which the M4GPS is (high rise, forest, clear sky, etc…)

The Cold Start or Warm Start : the M4GPS receives the signal faster when it is regularly used,

indeed, the more the GPS remains faded for a long time, the longer the waiting time before

getting the signal will be next time you start it. This waiting time can thus vary from a few

seconds to several minutes.

Numberof Satellites

The GPS gets its real position from 3 satellites. The maximal number of satellites which we

can get is 12 (it is possible only at certain hours of the day because satellites are constantly

in movement). More satellites mean better precision with the GPS positioning, and

therefore more precise timing. We recommend 8 satellites at least, the precision of time

cannot be guaranteed with any less.

Date & hour

As indicated in the menu Setup, the satellite gives us the hour and the date GMT, that is why

it is necessary to adjust the time zone accordingly in the menu Setup >Set upHour/Date.
