The End of Lap Beacon mounts on a suitable stand or on the pit wall facing the track. It should be at about the same level as the detector in the car. This is not critical unless the distance to the car is less than three meters.
When packing to go home, ensure you collect the beacon. It is common for it to be left at the thrack.

The End of Lap sensor mounts on the side of the vehicle facing the Beacon. It should be tilted about 10 to 15 degress towards the ground in order to prevent it being saturated by direct sunlight.
Operation can be checked by using the test switch on the beaconor by waving the beacon past the sensor. This should cause the indicator on the sensor to blink, and a status change from 0 to 1 can be noticed on the MSELog Test Sensors display.
Select Lap Marker from the sensor name menu. It is OK for the sample rate to be 0 for this point.
