Timers. Three different models of timer are available. Please see the specifications for more details of the precise functions available with each timer. You may download and read the instructions for our timers. C420 cable timer. Simple to use, this timer operates with cabled gates. A wire-free adapter is also available. It is powered by an external 12 volt battery or a mains supply using an optional adapter. This timer does NOT have the warm-up/countdown timer that is required for some competitions, nor will it time two-phase competitions. C700 intermediate timer. This wire-free timer is designed for Show Jumping. It has a 45 second countdown timer and can time two-phase competitions. It is powered by an internal rechargeable battery or can be connected to an external 12 volt battery, or a mains supply using the adapter provided. C840 professional timer. This is a state of the art timer providing a wide range of advanced features, including countdown timer, two-phase timing, results calculation and electronic bell (see specification sheet for more details). It is powered by an internal rechargeable battery or can be connected to an external 12 volt battery or a mains supply using the adapter provided. Gates. Infra-red heads and reflectors ('gates') are used at the start and finish lines to automatically start and stop the timer. Timing sets are normally supplied with two gates for start and finish (that is, 2 heads, 2 reflectors and 4 tripods), although one gate may be used for both start and finish. The infra-red system has the advantage of being very easy to use and the design of the optical system makes our eg heads particularly easy to set up. Two types of head are available, those that are connected to the timer by cable and 'wire-free' heads that use radio to send the start/finish signal to the timer. K530 cable gate. These heads connect to the timer by 3 core cable, which may be up to 500 metres in length. The heads are powered from the timer - no other power is required. The K530 has a maximum distance of 20 metres between head and reflector. K531 wire-free gate. This head uses a radio transmitter instead of a cable to connect to the timer. There are no cables to lay so changing the course is much simpler! There are two channels, enabling two rings to be used side by side. The head is powered by internal rechargeable batteries which give 24 hours continuous use between charges. The range of the radio signal is 200 metres (line of sight). The maximum distance between head and reflector is 30 metres. The heads can also be connected to the timer by cable if required. Legal for use in Europe without a site licence. Displays. Different sizes of public display are available and can be used with any of the timers. Several displays may be connected to one timer to improve coverage.

This unit enables timing and faults, together with a sponsor's message, to be inserted into a television picture for broadcast, closed-circuit relay or video recording. The equipment consists of an interface for connecting the timer to a computer, an overlay generator for connecting a computer with the video signal, and the operating software. A PC computer is also required - this is not supplied. The computer keyboard is used for editing the sponsor's name (max 25 letters) which then appears when the timer stops, and remains on screen until the timer is zeroed. The keyboard is also used to enter the faults. The positions on the screen of the time, faults and message can all be independently changed. The size and font of the characters is fixed and cannot be altered.
