2: START ON MOTION NO KEYPAD

 

The 

TCi-Smart Start

 can be used without the keypad. It works just like 

Mode 1 except the sensor will arm and trigger without pressing buttons 

on the keypad and no Athlete # is sent to the 

TCi-Timer

. This mode works 

the same as the previous 

TC-Motion Start

3: START ON DETECTION WITH KEYPAD

 

After entering an Athlete number, the 

TCi-Smart Start

 will trigger the 

TCi-Timer

 and beep when a hand or foot is first detected. This mode is 

useful when timing tests that start or finish on stairs or bleachers. 

4: START ON DETECTION NO KEYPAD

 

Same as Mode 3 except the sensor will trigger without pressing buttons on 

the keypad and no Athlete # is sent to the 

TCi-Timer

.

5: Ready Set Go

Enter an athlete number (0-999) and press 

ENTER

. When a foot or hand 

is detected the unit will beep three times at random intervals: “Ready”,  

“Set”, and “Go”. The 

TCi-Smart Start 

triggers the 

TCi-Timer

 once when 

the “Go” beep is heard and again when the athlete starts. The second 

signal captures the athletes reaction time and will show as a split time on 

the 

TCi-Timer

. If the athlete false starts the unit will beep rapidly and no 

signal is sent.

Application Tip

1. Electronic start sprint times are always slower than hand times. This is 

due to the reaction time of the stopwatch operator.  Studies have shown 

reaction times to be between 16-24 hundredths of a second.  The general 

conversion for “start on movement hand timing” to “electronic start tim-

ing”, is to subtract 20 hundredths of a second from the electronic total 

time.

2.  The 

TCi-Smart Start

 will result in a slightly faster overall sprint time 

in comparison to the Touch Pad start. This is because the 

Smart Start 

is slightly less sensitive and allows for a small amount of movement or 

shifting before it starts the time. The difference is between 0.04 and 0.06 

seconds. 

1: START ON MOTION WITH KEYPAD

THREE OR FOUR POINT STANCE:

Place the 

TCi-Smart Start

 on the starting line. Position the unit 2-12 

inches (5-30 cm) directly to the side of the athlete’s hand position. The 

black window should be facing the athlete’s hand. Enter an athlete number 

(0-999) and press 

ENTER

. The 

TCi-Smart Start

 will beep twice when 

it detects that a hand is on the starting line; this means the unit is armed. 

When the hand lifts the unit will beep once and trigger the 

TCi-Timer

.

STANDING START:

 

Place the 

TCi-Smart Start

 2-12 inches (5-30 cm) directly to the side of the 

athlete’s rear foot position. The black window should be facing the ath-

lete’s foot. Make sure the unit is aligned with where first motion occurs. 

Enter an athlete number (0-999) and press ENTER.

The unit will beep twice when it detects a foot; this means the unit is 

armed. When the foot moves the unit will beep once and  trigger the 

TCi-

Timer
