EMIT ETS1, Instructions For Use Manual

ETS1 ver. 1.22

You may have chosen a port that is in use by other programmes. Examples:
mobile synchronizing or modem.
The ETS1 will not read the tags:
-
A tag passing the finishing line will normally be read by the ETS1, and the
printer and the display will indicate a reading. Note that it is possible to
disconnect both the display and the printer directly from the PC. You may
override them from the tab ’Brikkeleserklokke’ (Tag reader clock).
-
The reader may have been given the wrong protocol. Go to the menu choice
’Emit elite’ and choose ’Protokoll’. Set the protocol as '0'.
-
The tag reader may have been given the wrong code. Go to the ‘Brikkeleser
klokke’ (Tag reader clock) and set the correct code.
-
You need a double loop if you have chosen the finish code 248. If the tag
doesn’t find the other loop, no times will be transferred for 9 seconds. Set
the code to 85 and check if there are incoming times on the first loop.
Do the following test to check if the system is functioning:

Check that there is communication and that the ETS1 is connected and
switched on.

Check that the eLine loop is connected to ' LOOP1 ' when you use one eLine
loop at the finish.

Pass the finishing line in the correct direction. The tag will blink rapidly
when it reaches the finish area and blink more slowly for 15 seconds after
passing the finishing line. Check that the time was transferred.

Check that the white eLine loop is placed at the very back and is connected
to ' LOOP2 ' when you use two eLine loops. The other (coloured) eLine loop
should be connected to ' LOOP1 '.

Walk 20 metres out in the track (in the race direction) and wait for 10
seconds.

Walk slowly towards the finishing line with the tag 1,5 metres above the
ground, and with the point pointing downwards.

When the first eLine loop is detected, the tag will start blinking. When the
second eLine loop is detected, the tag will stop blinking immediately. The
tag may blink slowly a few times between the detections of the two eLine
loops.

If the tag doesn’t start blinking at the finishing line, the other loop is not
working. Another possibility is that the ETS1 is not set on code 248.
