ETS1 ver. 1.22
Signal ’contagion’
Note that the signals from the eLine loops may have a range of several meters
You should establish a ‘security zone’ of about 3--5 meters to the sides of the loops
and about 5 meters parallel to the race direction to avoid errors with wrongly
registered competitors passing in another track.
Laying eLine loops for cycling races
In cycling and other sports where the competitors pass the finishing line in high
speed, you must increase the distance between the loop’s wires from 120 cm to 200
cm at the finish.
The LED’s marked '
LOOP 1
' and '
LOOP 2
' are green when the eLine loop is
connected and functioning. A red light indicates that the eLine loop is
disconnected or not functioning. An orange light indicates that the eLine loop was
disconnected when the power was switched on, or that the connection has been
broken, but is now OK. A blue light indicates that no connected antenna is needed.
This may be the case when you wish to use the ECB1 with only one eLine loop. In
such cases you connect the eLine loop to '
LOOP 1
', and the '
LOOP 2
' LED will be
blue.
Connecting the ETS1 to a PC, RS-232
Connect the ETS1 to a PC
with the enclosed RS-232
cable (a serial cable). There
is no need to install drivers
if you use this serial cable.
Avoid using serial cables
longer than 25 metres.
Connecting the ETS1
to a PC, USB
Connect the ETS1 to a PC
with the enclosed USB
cable. The ETS1 and the PC should be switched on before connecting them to the
USB cable. Connect the cable to the port marked '
USB
' on the ETS1. Connect the
other end of the cable to an available USB port on the PC.
