Text Box: Development / feature History 2024 March 1) Replacing the lead acid batteries with Lithium Ion , development in process . 2018 June A new aluminum enclosure was introduced giving the on field units a more “pro” look also helped with shielding internal parts e Moved radios to another frequency ( lower ) as it should give better performance. 2011 March Dual sensor system for all 3 timing positions , each position now has 2 radio transmitters with 2 optical sensors , this cancels all possible no trigger conditions ! Timing display now can be wireless and is also of a larger format to be placed on opposite side of the arena so that all the competitors and spectators can view it. 2009 August Release of Version 2.3 , Facility to log all times to a laptop has been implemented and tested. During the next months software development will continue with users feedback and ideas. 2008 November Release of Version 2 , a complete redesign of hardware and software New Keypad and overlay with high quality switches , all splash proof. Removable antenna on main Timer , now it can be placed outside for better reception. Digital radio system—Rejects all interference and each system runs on its own frequency . Newly designed sensor units with jumpers to allow any sensor to work as any function. Magnetic mount antennas on the sensors , if the unit gets bumped over it simply falls off without any damage. Battery management is now standard , this means a battery can never run down completely and also the status is shown with a led. Sensor alignment errors is now reduced with a LED indicating the status of alignment. 2008 August Software and hardware changes to add a external “Pause” button - Current undergoing development . 2008 July A trial run was done in parallel with a imported “TAG HEUER” system at an event held at the Lipizzaner Centre Kyalami / Midrand. It proved very stable with no timing errors . 2008 June A New radio transmitter and receiver for the optical sensors has been developed and tested . 2008 April A modification with battery status monitoring from the optical sensors to the control box has been done. 2007 Dual beam optical sensors was fitted , works well in sunlight and the detection range increased up to 30 meters. Display panels upgraded to a large unit and a small unit with new metal casings. 2005-2006 First systems manufactured and field tested
