Synchronization 

After power up, all 4 inputs LEDs will flash yellow as long as the TBox is not synchronized. 
There are four different methods to synchronize the TBox.

 

 

a)

 

Sync at Zero. 

 

This is the default synchro method. Once the TBox is switched ON, the first impulse will 
sync the internal time at Zero 

 

b)

 

GPS Sync (models 20 & 21) 

 

To start the GPS Sync, ensure TBox is powered off, hold down the button “Input 1” whilst 
powering ON the TBox 

 

The sync will commence once the TBox receives sufficient GPS data 

 

Once synchronized, the internal clock drift is constantly compensated by GPS signals (as 
long as GPS coverage is maintain) 

 

c)

 

External. 

 

Not yet implemented. 

 

d)

 

Sync via app 

 

All synchro methods presented above can be controlled manually or automatically by 
our Timing Applications 

 

It is also possible to synchronize the TBox to a user define time of day, using one of the 2 
inputs 

 
 

8.

 

Bluetooth 

A Bluetooth connection can be established with compatible FDS timing or setup Apps.

 

After power up, the TBox advertises its presence for 2 minutes. During this period the box can be 
detected and connected by the user App. To re-establish detection after the 2 minute period 
simply momentarily press the power button to reactivate the Bluetooth advertising process.
