EMIT ETS1, Инструкция по эксплуатации

ETS1 ver. 1.22
This user’s guide describes the Emit ETS1 split time station which is used to register
emiTags.
The user’s guide firstly describes the ETS1’s various functions and then explains
how the enclosed extra equipment is to be connected and used.
Furthermore we take a look at the ETS1’s menu system and go through the menu
choices. In the menu you may set the clock, the station’s code, the display’s
appearance, the protocol, the range of the eLine, etc. We also discuss how to use
the menu system for troubleshooting and explain recommended procedures when
problems occur.
To process data from the ETS1 and to generate the result lists you need a PC
program which is compatible with emiTag/ETS1. In Norway there is to date only
one compatible program: e-Timing, which is Emit’s result and race administration
program. We will therefore go through the needed screen images in eTiming to
establish communication between the ETS1 and the eTiming. If you need more
elaborate documentation on eTiming, see eTiming’s built-in troubleshooter or/and
documentation and support pages on the web.
Many people have problems with the configuration of Moxa Uport 1450I in
Windows, so this user manual includes a whole chapter on this. This matter is only
of interest if you need long cable stretches between ECB1/ETS1 and the computer
(normally split time stations) and therefore must use the ‘
RS-485 ' port on the
ECB1/ETS1. When using this port it is possible to use cables that are several
hundred meters long if you convert the signal to RS-232 or USB in the other end of
the cables.
All available circuit diagrams, illustrations and specifications of extra equipment
are included in this manual. Not all of them are equally relevant, but we prefer to
include too much rather than to omit information that may be of interest for some.
Spare parts and extra equipment are marked with Elfa’s supply numbers and may
be ordered directly from Elfa (our supplier) if you wish to install the parts yourself.
Another option is to buy the parts directly from Emit, installed and ready for use, if
that is preferable.
The last part of the manual treats updating of firmware in the ECB1/ETS1 and the
commands you may send to ETS1 from a terminal program like Hyperterminal (a
program enclosed in Windows). Do ALWAYS confer with EMIT’s technical staff
before you do this on your own.
We have chosen to mark ‘ input ’ (connection ports) with green, ‘ light emitting
diodes ’ with blue and ‘ key text ’ with red to make it easier to distinguish between
the different functions.
