ETS1 ver. 1.22
Surroundings
The ETS1 is not waterproof, so make sure that no water seeps into the connection
ports on top of the split time station. You may use the ETS1 in temperatures as low
as -20 °C, and the unit may be placed outside in rain and snow as long as the lid is
on.
CONNECTIONS
The radio antenna
If you wish to use an external radio antenna, it should be connected to the port
marked ‘radio’ You do not need an external antenna as long as the ETS1 is placed 4
—5 metres from the track or nearer, but it may be wise if the distance is longer. If
that is the case we would recommend to use an external Yagi-antenna. The Yagi-
antenna should be mounted 5-10 meters after the finish line, and be pointing
towards the finish line.
An external eLine loop
You should use an external eLine loop if the track is wider than 3 metres or if the
competitors pass more than 3 metres from the ETS1. Mill off a track for the loops
with a chain saw or some other suitable tool if the loops are to be placed in the
snow. If the surface is asphalt or other solid ground, the loops must be taped and
secured under mats suitable for the purpose. Make sure that the loops are stable
and lie safely, so that they do not disconnect and cause damage!
Place the loop in the track and run the cable to the ETS1. The eLine loop cable has
a black plug and is to be connected to the '
LOOP 1
' port on the ETS1. When you
use two eLine loops you must remember that the blue loop ALWAYS must be
placed in front, while the white loop ALWAYS must be placed at the back. The
white eLine loop’s cable has a colourless plug and is to be connected to the '
LOOP
2
' port on the ETS1.
