DIGIFLAG® SYSTEM: TO SUPPLY TO PILOTS, THROUGH LIGHT DISPLAYS, THE SAME INFORMATION PROVIDED BY COLOURED FLAGS
DIGIFLAG® IMPROVES THE 3rd MILLENIUM TRACK SAFETY We are very proud to present you the new system now available for all the racing tracks with plenty of devices to fulfil and customise all your present and future needs.
The DigiFlag® System has been conceived and patented by Valerio Maioli and it is, currently, the only electronic flag system approved. Besides, it is the only available system capable to manage all the flags, including striped flags and black flags. What’s more, it can control the LEDs Display Panels brightness in real-time and be completed with the starting light systems allowing fully integration among the race track control systems.
The ultimate DigiFlag® resulted from the increasing demand of safety at all levels.
It is available both for definitive or temporary installations and it is offered in sale or lease arrangement.
DigiFlag® is conceived with an user friendly software that includes an auto-diagnostic routine and offers a remote management service package, a real innovative solution.
The DigiFlag® System is composed of:
DIGIFLAG LED PANEL BLACKFLAG DISPLAY DIGIFLAG MARSHAL CONTROL BOX DB PANEL FOR FEEDING AND NET CONNECTIONS SOFTWARE
The main characteristic of this system is the capability to work either as in a stand-alone solution or as in an integrated solution with others systems installed on the tracks (for example Starting Lights Systems).
DIGIFLAG LED PANEL
We designed and developed a Led panel suitable to replace the flag signal currently used during racing.
Flags may be motionless or waved in the following colours: •Red •Yellow •Yellow with Red stripes •Blue •White •Green •Safety Car
The Panel is designed in order to have high sunlight readability and to allow 3 fine regulations on 3 axes.

MECHANICAL •Mounting: Portable stand/posts with securing anchor points •Weight: <40 Kg •Overall Dimensions: frame 1280 x 1280 mm •LED panel Dimensions: 1000 x 1000 mm •FLAG Dimensions : 840 x 490 mm •SC sign. Dimensions : 577 x 310 mm •Sunlight readable: > 800 mt •Housing: Aluminium •Finish: Anodized/ Painted/ special coated
ELECTRICAL •Input Voltage: 230 Vac •Connection: cable exit with connector •Communication: serial line RS485 proprietary protocol

OPTICAL •Distribution: 112 LED High brightness Multichip RGB •Dimming: 3 predefined level of dimming (configurable) •Lenses: 40 deg horizontal and 20 deg vertical
RELIABILITY •MTBF: 50,000 hours
GENERAL – SAFETY •Diagnostic: failure on Led or electronic (automatic check routine) •Safety: EMC, Low Voltage directive •ISO 9001
BLACKFLAG DISPLAY
The Black Flag Panel is realised with a special Graphic Display able to represent the 3 black Flags: •Black Flag •Black with Orange dot Flag •Black and White Flag •Car Number
The panel will be installed on the start/finishing line bridge thanks to special steel supports. The Black Flag Panel, thanks to its graphic display, can show many other information like drive through or penalty and information to the drivers.

DIGIFLAG MARSHAL CONTROL BOX
The Marshals’ Control Box permits the Marshals to choose the flag on their Post and to watch what happens in the Previous and in the Followings Posts.
On the left side there are the signal buttons: •Waved Blue •Waved White •Waved Green •Stationary Green •Safety Car/Waved Yellow Flag
On the right side there are the hazard signaling buttons: •Waved Yellow •Double Waved Yellow •Motionless Red &Yellow •Reset Button •Waved Red Flag
Both the Safety Car and the Red Flags are operative only if the system, for any reason, isn’t connected to the Race Control Room Server (function configurable as desired via software).
On the front panel of the Box there are many colored small leds to indicate the Status of: •The Previous Post •The Following Post •The Current Post •The Safety Car Flags inserted by the Clerk of the Course •The Red Flag inserted by the Clerk of the Course •The NET/LAN connection status (communication to Race Control)
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS:
MECHANICAL •Weight: 1.8 Kg •Overall Dimensions: 331 x 281 x 75 mm •Sunlight: Readable and Led indicator visible •Housing: Polyamide •Front Panel: Anodized Aluminium •Flammability: UL 94V2 •Disruptive strength: >7Nm to DIN 50014 •Gasket: Neoprene •Surface resistance: 1012 Ohm to DIN 53482

SOFTWARE
Our SW is very intuitive and easy to use. The Clerk of the Course can decide if he wishes to use it in a semi-automatic or in a manual way. Semi-automatic means that some actions will be performed automatically by the system. For example, if a Marshal chooses the Double waved Yellow Flag, the system automatically will put in the Previous Post a Single Yellow waved flag and in the Following Post a waved Green Flag. The system is fully configurable on parameters like the waving base frequency, the double waving frequency, the way in which the flags will flash and be displayed. Another configurable parameter is the level of brightness, typically available in three levels:
- Day Race - Night Race - Wet Race
All the operations are saved on a database, available in real time or after events, and also exportable in SQL format.
