Frequency Select Mode

RSSI Mode

FREQ

 mode allows the user to change 

the radio frequency of the timing system.  

This allows two or more 

TCi Systems

 to 

work in the same location.  After setting 

the 

TCi-Timer

 radio frequency (0-4), the 

frequency must also be changed to match 

in 

TCi-PhotoGate A

 and 

TCi-Smart 

Start

. For the 

PhotoGate A 

this is done 

by removing the aluminum case. Locate 

the blue switch panel and shift a lever to 

select a frequency.  More than one 

switch cannot be down at the same 

time. (All switches up is FREQ 0)

On the 

TCi-Smart Start, 

hold the 

On/Off button until the unit beeps 3 times 

and the display shows “FrE,” select the 

frequency number and press 

ENTER.

Relative Signal Strength Indicator

RSSI Test Mode allows you to self diag-

nose the distance capability of reception 

or problems with signal reception.

Problem 

 I occasionally miss a start or 

stop signal.

Solution

 Check RSSI to see if their is ra-

dio interference at your location.  Indoor 

Interference could come from equipment i.e. machines and computers, 

or Bluetooth. This may be the case if your RSSI reads 30/40 or higher 

without your

 TCi-PhotoGate A

 transmitting.

Problem

 I need to time distances over 1000 feet, and I want to know if I 

will get reliable reception.

Solution

  Set up your 

TCi-PhotoGates

 and have someone break the beam 

every three seconds.  Go to the desired distance, the RSSI needs to read at 

least 29/35.

Problem 

 I have noise or other users on my frequency.  (38/50)

Solution 

 Try frequency 1, 2, 3 or 4. (Must also be changed in 

TCi-Photo-

Gate A

 and 

TCi-Smart Start

.)
