Speed Timers are portable and safe (12 volt) systems. They were originally designed for UK dry-ski slopes, but have also been used for track events and can be used for events where mechanical contact is not possible, as is so at horse events etc.
The time is displayed to 0.01 second and is the time between the closure of the start contact (mechanical or electronic) and the closure of the finish contact (electronic). The reset button clears the display and sends a signal to the start gate.
A Dual Slalom Speed Timer unit uses two start and finish gates and is able to provide much more accurate and reliable readings than would be possible by eye.
Penalty lights indicate when a skier starts before the previous one finishes.
The system includes:
- Timer
- Mechanical Start Gate
- IR Optical Finish Gate
- Telecommunications
- Cables
Some timers may be used with a monitor.
We currently have Speed Timer units available for hire (including setup). Please contact Derek for more details.
