General Features
The swimming mode of the OmniSport 2000 timer will perform automatic timing and
judging for up to ten lanes with two touchpads per lane (one touchpad at each end of
pool for near and far end splits; Relay Take-Off Platforms; and one, two or three backup
buttons per lane. Races of up to 66 splits can be accommodated with all split times and
final times logged on the printer as they occur. All near and far split times, final times and
backup times are also recorded in memory and are available for additional printouts as
needed.
The OmniSport 2000 timer can be set up to record split times from both ends of the pool.
Near-end cabling is connected to the J10 NEAR END connector on the rear of the timer.
Far-end cabling is connected to the J11 FAR END connector. Refer to Connections on the
Console (p.12) for more information.
The OmniSport 2000 timer can store approximately 50 races, depending on the
number of lanes in the pool and the length of the races. The OmniSport 2000 timer will
automatically clear the oldest events. This ensures that old races will not be confused
with new ones by the operator. If the OmniSport Pro Swimming software is connected
to the console, the stored races in the console will be transferred to the computer and
erased in the console. After that point, the results can be found in the Pro software.
The always-ready-start feature is another operator aid that allows correct times to be
recorded in the event of certain operator errors or equipment problems. These features
are described fully in Always Ready Start (p.34) .
Getting Started
When starting the OmniSport 2000 console, set the console
to the swimming mode. Press [ENTER] when the right LCD
shows 1-SWIMMING.
The top line of the right LCD shows the console name
(OMNI#) and running time (RT). The bottom line displays the
event number (E), the heat (H), the current round (R), and
the total number of lengths to be completed (L). The current round shows whether the
race is a standard timed event (blank), a preliminary (P), a semifinal (S), or a final (F). The
current round (R) only appears when the selected event is found in the programmed
event order. The (R) disappears if an event is selected that is not programmed. To set the
Event Order, refer to Edit Event Order (p.43) .
The top line of the right also LCD displays notifications (in place of console name):
BATT – Console is running on battery power
NETWK – Network cable is disconnected; refer to Connections on the Console (p.12)
PAPER – Paper is not in place; refer to Built-in Printer (p.18)
