Can you install two Lap Counter 30355

[Scatman]

Can you install two using the input in the back of the unit to support the other unit? Mirror the other unit. Would like to have a separate driver station.

I'm surprised no one has given you an answer yet. Having never had one I don't know and the manual is no help. Someone will chime in.

Sorry for the slow response...I'm pretty sure that you can't use two. I was trying to dig through the archives and see if I could get some more info.

To be honest, with the PC based HSSRMS and the SmartRace App very few new users are using the standalone lap counters. I got into Carrera Digital in 2013 and have had the PC based HSSRMS system from the beginning. The 30355 doesn't support Sector timing or integrate the fuel display like PC & AppConnect based systems do. Trying to find a good current place where this is described for the newbie..maybe I need to spend some time putting something together

just FYI this is a screen shot of my PC based HSSRMS system

Thanks for the info. I’ve been using SmartRace, but I wanted something simple to use when I’m just running cars.

Also, HSSRMS allows for cell phones and tablets to be used as remote driver displays.

Since you are using digital , wouldn't all of that be on the computer screen itself ? And why would you need two ? Only asking because I have the Scaletrix ARC system , and you can run 6 cars at one time

There are times I want to keep things simple, not turning computers or IPads on to run laps. This way I will have both.

I have a similar need. I use the PC when the adult kids are over for racing. For my little ones, I unplug the PC and connect the Carrera timing unit.

Thanks for the feedback Tony & JTK - I can see wanting something simpler to use sometimes- Didn't mean to hijack your question, just I wasn't sure of what you had tried or were aware of..

I leave my PC & HSSRMS on all the time so it's always ready when I want to run a couple laps - i kill the monitor when I shut down - definitely an easier thing with PC than ipad/SmartRace

I'll dig up what I can find in the archives on the 30355 lap counter possibilities - i have some 30342's that I had used for sector timing before the Check Track came out

Tony, I see in your track picture you have the TekSlots modified CU - Is that all wired in side the box & back cover or are the wires broken out to facilitate doing power taps? I had Joe build my TekSlot CU with a remote mount for the box with a terminal strip to facilitate jumper breakout

Here's a pic of my TekSlot modified CU

I like that setup. Good point on the computer. I had one my wood track and never really used the thing. Maybe It will make an appearance again

Well , this is something way above my pay grade
