The following ALGE devices you can use as impulse trigger:

-

Startgate

-

Startmicrophone SM7

-

Photocell

-

Startbeep STB1

-

Tapeswitch TS

-

Startclock ASC1

-

Touchpad TP24 or TP18

-

Handswitch 023-02 or 023-10

The following ALGE timers you can use as impulse receiver:

TdC 8000:

Normally use the socket A or A´ to connect cable 004-05. In special cases see the
TdC 8000 manual for help.

TdC 4000:

Plug cable 004-05 at one of the four sockets that say "ext. supply / lightbeam".

Timer S4:

Normally use the socket A or A´ to connect cable 004-05. In special cases see the
Timer S4 manual for help.

Timer S3:

Plug cable 004-05 at one of the two sockets that say "ext. supply / lightbeam".

Comet:

Plug cable 004-05 at one of the photocell sockets.

Videotimer VT2:

Plug cable 004-05 at one of the two sockets that say

"ext. supply / lightbeam".

OPTI 1sw:

Plug cable 004-05 at one of the four sockets that say "photocell". For the OPTI you
have to know that you can transmit only start impulses. You cannot transmit the
finish impulse, because the photocell does control the recording. With the TED you
would only record a small part of the finish arrival.

Selection of the Impulse Transmission:

With the TED-TX you can transmit two impulse channels. Normally this will be the start- C0 and
finish impulse C1 (use cable 004-05).

If you use additional with the TED the RX-C10, than you can receive up to 10 different impulse
channels with the TdC 8000 and Timer S4 (see page 20).

Attention:
The TED-system will work with any normally open modern timing devices. Although we recommend
always using ALGE devices, feel free to contact your local ALGE dealer.

4.1.  Impulse Transmission from a Startgate:

-

Connect Startgate and TED-TX with cable 000-05 (2-wire cable with banana plugs)

-

Connect TED-RX and timer with cable 004-05 (use socket A or A´ for Timer S4 or TdC 8000).
