Placement of the Timing Gates Mobile
One timing gate consists of two magnetic elements.
The distance between
two elements of a timing gate
should
not be more than 1.25 m
.
The distance between
two timing gates
should
not be below 5 m
to avoid the merging of the magnetic
fields that are generated by the gates.
Angled Timing Gates
The MCD can be set up straight (most common) or angled.
Angled setups are used for amplification or alignment of the magnetic field that is generated by our
timing gates. In practice, the application is useful for smaller athletes (e.g. children) or for certain tests
of agility.
