The Alfano 7 is equipped with a wireless
chip
that
allowsthedevicetocommunicate with our new wirelesssensors and with our Alfano Dongle
A4550 (coming soon) for ultra-fast data
download

Our technology makes possible to acquire data thatwould have been impossible to obtain with a cable
For instance, our A1210 wireless sensor, which isinserted inside the tire (coming soon), can detectwith precision the pressure and internal air
temperature of the tire

The absence of cables simplifies theinstallation of some sensors, making themconvenient and quick
As in the case of our new A1211 IR tiresurface temperature sensor (coming soon)

3. Endurance Mode
The Alfano 7 will automatically activate
Endurance Mode when its memory capacity
exceeds 99%
Upon turning on the device, an informational
message will be displayed

The Alfano 7 will not record the data according to the set data acquisition frequencies (seepage 40) but will only record:
Lap times
Sector times (if split times are present)
Minimum and maximum of each connected sensor to the Alfano 7 for each lap and foreach sector (if split times are present)
In this way it will still be possible to keep track of the fundamental data of the session
carried out
Direct on-device analysis of sessions recorded in Endurance Mode is interrupted at screen 5
due to the smaller amount of recorded data (see page 77 for more information)
It is not possible to directly activate or deactivate the endurance mode. To deactivate it free
up space in the device's memory10

8.2.2.1 Engaged Gear Configuration
To initiate the device's learning process to recognize the engaged gear, click on 'Startlearning'
Configuration can be done in two ways:
Using only the RPM cable, in this case the GPS speed will be utilized to calculate theengaged gear
Using RPM cable and magnetic speed sensor (A2203)
For a more precise reading we recommend configuration via a magnetic speed sensor
The Alfano 7 automatically detects the presence of a magnetic speed sensor and selects themost accurate configuration method. Therefore, no action is required to select theconfiguration method
Calibration on the trolley is recommended for configurations that use a magnetic speed
sensor, while entering the track is necessary for configurations that use GPS speed

By clicking “Ok” on “Start learning” the firstscreen of the configuration process will be

This menu allows you to adjust the RPM fullscale, which is the maximum value that thedevice can read. The factory setting is 18000
Any RPM values above this threshold will berecorded as equal to the set value
The RPM full scale serves as protection againstelectromagnetic disturbances from the engine orfrom limiter interventions (if present)

RPM Factor
If the engine rpm reading is a multiple or sub-multiple of the real engine rpm, amultiplication factor can be set to correct it. The available factors are: /4 - /3 - /2 - x1 - x2 - x3
- x4
Engine Type
Alfano 7 allows users to select the type of engine being used. The available options are:- Standard- TM Mini 60cc
- Vortex Mini
The standard setting keeps the pure data read through the RPM cable. It is recommended
that all users keep the engine type set to standard
In some cases, especially for TM Mini 60cc and Vortex Mini engines, the standard engine
setting may show the limiter trip with spikes downwards and upwards in engine RPM.
In these cases it is recommended to set a Maximin RPM slightly higher than the theoretical
RPM value at which the limiter intervenes (for example 14300 or 14500)
For users of the respective engines who do not wish to see the peaks generated by ECU,
the TM Mini 60cc and Vortex Mini options must be selected34

The professional mode allows the creation andmodification of GPS or Mag/IR tracks down to thesmallest details
In professional mode the correct track must be
selected before departure

MAGNETIC MODE
The classic magnetic mode allows only the use of
the magnetic/IR sensor
Tracks need to be created and can be saved inmemoryThe correct track must be selected before the start

OPEN TRACK MODE
The track open mode allows the use of the Alfano
7 on tracks where the start and end points do notcoincide
You can set the parameters according to which thedevice should start and end the recording of asession59

9. Alfano Mode
9.1. AUTOMATIC MODE
This mode was developed so that the Alfano 7
automatically recognises the situation it is in
and without the need for any intervention by
the user makes the correct decisions to record
a session
9.1.1. Track In the Alfano Database

Once the device detects the GPS signal, it will
identify its location
If the Alfano 7 is located on a track inmemory (Alfano database or personal
database) the device will set this circuit
As soon as you cross the finish line it will
begin recording the session and attribute itto the correct circuit
9.1.2. Track Not in memory
If the track is not stored in memory, the device will display the closest known track
Once the device enters the track, it will automatically start learning the new track andrecording data from the second lap
The device will save the automatically generated circuit in memory, so that next time I will
be known to Alfano 7

The track will be saved with the name “*P*
TRACK GPS DD/MM/YY hh/mm“
It can be renamed and modified by adjusting
the finish line and adding split times (refer topage 65)

In automatic mode the device works only via GPS for timing the lap and split times (ifpresent on the track in use)60

9. Alfano Mode
9.1. AUTOMATIC MODE
9.1.3. Semi-Automatic Mode
In automatic mode, if the Alfano 7 finds
several tracks in its databases in the samegeographical point, for example due todifferent
known
variants,
severalprofessional tracks created by the user or a
racetrack with several tracks very close toeach other, it switches to semi-automaticmode
In this mode, due to the different versions of tracks in memory, the device will automaticallypreselect possible nearby tracks
You can select the track version you want byclicking the centre left button
A list will appear from which the desired track
can be selected
If no selection is made by the user, the device
will select the track version used last time atthis location or, if it is the first time on thisrace way, the first track in the list

In semi-automatic mode the device works only via GPS for timing the lap and split times(if present on the track in use)
To switch from this mode to another, press the centre left button a second time when
the nearby track selection list is open
9.2. PROFESSIONAL MODE
In this mode the circuits must be created by
the user and selected before the start.
It is possible to modify the tracks by inserting
split times where you want and moving thefinish line as you wish
Professional tracks can be shared with other
Alfano users, directly from the Alfano 7 or
via ADA
Once the Alfano 7 has created a track in automatic mode, it is considered as a professional
tracks created by the user, so it is possible to modify it
In professional mode, the Alfano 7 works via GPS, but gives priority to the magnetic
sensor if it is connected to the device

619. Alfano Mode
9.2. PROFESSIONAL MODE
When Professional mode is selected, the Professional circuit management menu opens
9.2.1. Choice of Professional Track

In professional mode the user must select the
track in which he wishes to record the data
before starting, by opening the "choose"menu all the professional circuits in memory
will be displayed
Once the desired track has been selected,using the left side buttons and confirmed withthe "ok" button, the Alfano 7 will return tothe home page, the selected circuit willappear at the top centre of the screen.
The Alfano 7 is ready to enter on the track

9.2.2. Creation of a New Professional Track
Professional tracks can be created in two
ways:
Automatically, when the device is in
automatic mode but needs to create acircuit because the track was not found in
the database
Manually, using the second item of theprofessional mode track management
menu

Confirming the "Create new track" item withthe "ok" button will open the configuration
menu for creating the new circuit if the
instrument is receiving the GPS signal
Otherwise, a waiting window will appear until
the GPS signal is correctly received

9.2. PROFESSIONAL MODE
9.2.2. Creation of a New Professional Track
When configuring the creation of a new
professional track, it is possible to choose
whether to create the track using GPS only orin combination with the Magnetic/IR sensor
If the Mag/IR option is selected, it is necessary
to enter the number of the magnetic stripe or
IR line that the device must consider as thefinish line (example on page 64)

Once you have confirmed your selection with the 'ok' button, the unit will ask you to namethe track. Once you have assigned a name and confirmed with "ok", the device will enter
learning mode and return to the homepage, ready to get on track and learn it

To complete the configuration, simply complete one lap of the track. The session will berecorded from the second lap, so there is no need to return to the pits, the driver can start a
session if he wishes
Create new professional track only through GPS
The device will create the track only using GPS data. The track will not have intermediatetimes and the finish line will not necessarily correspond to the actual finish line of thecircuit. Once the professional circuit has been created, it will be possible to modify it byinserting split times and moving the finish line wherever you want
Create new professional track through Mag/IR mode
The device creates the track using the magnetic/IR sensor. By entering the number of themagnetic strip/IR line in the order of exit from the pit lane that you wish to assign to thefinish line, the device will create the track assigning the finish line to the strip previously
selected and will consider the other strips detected during the learning lap as split times
The number of the magnetic strip to be considered as the finish line must be set according
to the point of access to the track during the learning lap, i.e. it must be the number of thedesired strip in the order of crossing from the point of access to the track63

9. Alfano Mode
9.2. PROFESSIONAL MODE
Create new professional track through Mag/IR mode
The Alfano 7 records all GPS points during track creation even in this modeThis allows the track to be used without the magnetic/IR sensor and to edit it but track
creation in this mode will be impossible if the Magnetic or IR sensor is not connected during
the learning lap
Tracks created in Mag/IR mode can be edited by swapping the finish line with othermagnetic/IR lines but these, of course, cannot be moved.
Other GPS lines can be added and moved
EXAMPLE

PIT LANEIn this case:
The track has 3 magnetic stripes (A,B,C)A

The device is set with departure Mag/IR strip = 2
The access point is the one shown in theillustration (Z)The direction of drive is clockwiseC

B
Z

ACCESS POINT

The device will enter the track from point Z ready to learn the track, during the learning lap
it will encounter in order:
MAGNETIC STRIP C: as this is the first strip the device will encounter it will set it as amagnetic strip delimiting a sector (having set strip number 2 as the finish line)
MAGNETIC STRIP A: as this is the second strip that the device will encounter it will set itas the magnetic strip of the finish line (strip number 2 having been set as the finish line)
MAGNETIC STRIP B: the device having already assigned the magnetic strip of the finish
line will set this strip as delimitation of a sector
ACCESS POINT Z: device will pass over the access point Z again, it will realise that it hascompleted a complete lap and will end the learning process
The newly created track will then have the following characteristics:
Sector 1: portion of track between A and B
Sector﻿2: portion of track between B and C
Sector﻿3: portion of track between C and A

You can set:
The number of magnetic stripes / IR lines
from 1 to 6
The number of the strip corresponding to
the finish line (further explanation on
page 64)
Latecy time from 3 to 60 seconds
Latency Time
Latency time is the period during which the device ignores the magnetic stripes/IR lines it
encounters. This feature is used to ignore the acquisition of a sector or old magnetic stripesthat may still be present in the asphalt
It is important to set the latency time appropriately so that the desired magnetic stripes or
IR lines are ignored, but the detection of the desired ones is not affected
9.3.2. Magnetic Track Modification
