7" LED Scoreboard with 100' cable and Carrying Case

§  Time format on the scoreboard automatically switches to match the format selected on the timer console: Seconds to 0.001, seconds to 0.01, minutes and whole seconds, etc.

§  Red LEDs. LED scoreboards have no bulbs to burn out, are light weight, draw very little power and are visible even in direct sunlight! The LED scoreboard is now even brighter than before with a bolder font and wider viewing angle!

Wireless Autocross Timing System

Electronic Timing System with separate start/finish line functionality

Why spend more for an autocross timer, and get less? The Polaris autocross timer offers an unmatched combination of features, ease of use, and low price!

Wireless Convenience:

§  No cables to connect to the photo-sensors.

§  No power connections to the photo-sensors or the timing console.

§  300 foot radio range from the photo-sensors to the timing console.

§  Set up and tear down in just minutes. All equipment, including tripods, fits inside a custom made carrying case.

Long range, through-beam, wireless photo-sensors:

§  Very easy to align – just roughly eyeball the alignment.

§  No vehicle color / reflectivity issues as with retro-reflective sensors.

§  With a 200 foot optical range, the photo-sensors can be placed well off the course to reduce the chance of getting hit by a vehicle.

§  Start/stop Sensors run 70-80 hours from a standard 9 volt alkaline battery.

Full featured timing:

§  Time up to three vehicles at once to 0.001 second accuracy.

§  Hands free operation (as long as each car finishes). Controls on the timer console allow recovery of times for subsequent vehicles on course when another car fails to complete the course.

§  The console runs 50-60 hours from standard AA batteries.

§  Spectator displays, printers, computer interface cables and software available separately.

Reliability:

§  The Polaris timer console and wireless photo-sensors have been proven by thousands of satisfied customers in a wide variety of applications including circle track, monster truck races, motorcycle rodeos, hill climbs, and more!

§  Manufactured by FarmTek, Inc., the leading provider of timing equipment to the equestrian sport marketplace for over 20 years.

PC Interface Software for Wireless Autocross Timing Package

The PC Interface Software and included interface cable makes it easy to interface your timer to popular Windows applications.

If you have designed a record keeping spreadsheet, database, or other application that has a spot to type in a entrant's time, the Timer Interface software will automatically "type" in times for you as they come in from the timer.

The Timer Interface software receives times from the timer via a serial port or USB port on your PC and sends the times to your application as a series of keystrokes – exactly as if you had typed them in on the keyboard. Since the time is sent as keystrokes, virtually any spreadsheet, database, or similar application can receive times from the timer without any special programming!

Computer Requirements:

To use the PC interface software you must have a computer with an available USB or serial port running under Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP or Vista.

Your Price: $74.00
