Frequency Select Mode
RSSI Mode
FREQ
mode allows the user to change
the radio frequency of the timing system.
This allows two or more
TCi Systems
to
work in the same location. After setting
the
TCi-Timer
radio frequency (0-4), the
frequency must also be changed to match
in
TCi-PhotoGate A
and
TCi-Smart
Start
. For the
PhotoGate A
this is done
by removing the aluminum case. Locate
the blue switch panel and shift a lever to
select a frequency. More than one
switch cannot be down at the same
time. (All switches up is FREQ 0)
On the
TCi-Smart Start,
hold the
On/Off button until the unit beeps 3 times
and the display shows “FrE,” select the
frequency number and press
ENTER.

Relative Signal Strength Indicator
RSSI Test Mode allows you to self diag-
nose the distance capability of reception
or problems with signal reception.
Problem
I occasionally miss a start or
stop signal.
Solution
Check RSSI to see if their is ra-
dio interference at your location. Indoor
Interference could come from equipment i.e. machines and computers,
or Bluetooth. This may be the case if your RSSI reads 30/40 or higher
without your
TCi-PhotoGate A
transmitting.
Problem
I need to time distances over 1000 feet, and I want to know if I
will get reliable reception.
Solution
Set up your
TCi-PhotoGates
and have someone break the beam
every three seconds. Go to the desired distance, the RSSI needs to read at
least 29/35.
Problem
I have noise or other users on my frequency. (38/50)
Solution
Try frequency 1, 2, 3 or 4. (Must also be changed in
TCi-Photo-
Gate A
and
TCi-Smart Start
.)
