2	Introduction

Section 2: Timing System Setup

Daktronics aquatics timing system setup will be unique to each pool. This manual describes a typical pool setting. Generally it is recommended that 2-3 people assist in the setup for a meet. Allow 2-3 hours to complete the timing system setup for the first time. For connections to the scoring displays, refer to the riser diagrams in Section 2.8.

2.1Equipment Overview

The information in this section is general information only and may or may not apply to every pool setting.

Touchpads with 7/16" wrench to adjust brackets

Deck cabling with lane modules and lane extension cable

Horn start with start cable

OmniSport 2000 console, power pack, swimming keyboard insert and manual

Meet management computer and software with serial cable

2.2Touchpad Installation

1.Before the meet, install the touchpads in the pool. With one person on each end of the touchpad, carefully lower the touchpad into the pool. Center the touchpad in the lane. Secure the supplied adjustable bracket to the pool gutter. If the pool does not have a gutter, secure the touchpad by running a cord through the holes on top of the touchpad and tying it to the starting block.

2.The universal bracket adjusts to both a narrow or wider gutter lip. (Figure 2 and

Figure 3).

Figure 2: Universal Bracket for	Figure 3: Universal Bracket for
Wider Gutter Lip	Narrow Gutter Lip

Timing System Setup

3. Bolts on newer touchpads
require only one 7/16" socket
wrench (Figure 4). Use two
7/16" wrenches to tighten
bolts on older touchpads
(Figure 5). Older systems
requiring two wrenches can be	Figure 4: New Style Uses	Figure 5: Older Style
updated to the new hardware	One Wrench	Uses Two Wrenches
requiring only one wrench.

Call Daktronics to order the new hardware.

4.Connect the touchpads to the lane modules or deck plates. Read and follow instructions in Section 2.3 before plugging the touchpads into the deck cabling.

5.A Daktronics touchpad is designed to fill with water to aid in its stabilization. The touchpad seems to become a part of the pool wall (Figure 6). If the pool wall has obstructions or the gutter protrudes from the wall, use spacers (PVC board may be cut in strips) to create a stable support for the touchpad (Figure 7). Spacer size is determined by the height

and the extra depth required. Use 3M™ VHB™ Tape 5930
(Daktronics part number AT-1089 [¾"]) to connect the		Figure 6: Touchpad
touchpad to the spacers. Ensure the spacers do not cover		Next to Wall
the drainage holes on the back of the touchpad!
Note: Daktronics does not provide
Note: Daktronics does not provide
these spacers.
For more information on the care and maintenance
of touchpads, refer to Section 2.9. See also the
Daktronics T-7000 Series Touchpads Installation &
Maintenance Manual (DD1953274), available online
at www.daktronics.com.
at www.daktronics.com.	Figure 7: Touchpad with Spacers
	Figure 7: Touchpad with Spacers

Do not allow swimmers to use paddles, fins or kick boards when touchpads are in the pool.

2.3Deck Cabling & Lane Modules

Note: Always place cables and equipment in areas

of minimal traffic. Cover wires and cables with a mat to prevent accidents. Figure 8 illustrates an important detail to always remember when plugging dual banana connectors.

The GND (ground) tab on the plug must line up with the black female jack for the timing system to work.

Remember this when connecting all dual banana plugs.

Black Female Jack

2.4On-deck System

Figure 9 illustrates a typical on-deck swimming installation.

Figure 9: On-deck Swimming Installation
The on-deck system uses lane modules to
interconnect the touchpads and backup buttons
to the timing consoles. Lane modules are
universal and can be used on any lane. The
console knows which module it is by where it is
connected in the chain. Each lane module
(Figure 10) controls one touchpad and up to three
button inputs. The lane modules daisy chain
together, allowing another module to be plugged
into the end to add another lane (Figure 11).	Figure 10: Daktronics Lane Module

Timing System Setup

Figure 13: Insert Lane Module to Next Lane

Easy servicing is an additional benefit of on-deck cabling. If one lane goes bad, the whole harness does not have to be replaced; only that individual lane module needs replacing. Simply remove and replace with another Daktronics lane module.

Use Maintenance Kit to Ensure Good

Connections	Figure 11: Daisy Chain Lane Modules

Use the brush provided in the kit to remove any corrosion from the connections.

Use silicon lubricant every time the system is set up and taken down to protect the jacks and plugs. This will ensure a good connection and reduce corrosion. Simply squeeze silicone into the neck of the tube (Figure 12) and insert male pins of banana connectors into the neck to coat with silicone.

To order an OmniSport 2000 Console Maintenance Kit (Daktronics part # 0A-1240-0003) call 1-800-DAKTRONICS.

Connecting to Lane Modules

Figure 12: Silicone & Clean Module

Refer to Figure 13 to verify proper connection of the lane module to the touchpad, push buttons and next lane connection. Refer to Figure 9 for an overview of a typical swimming setup of lane modules with the timing system.

Note: Do not connect the far end lane module harness into the near end lane module harness. Each harness system should connect to the OmniSport 2000 console separately. For more information on how to connect to the timing console, refer to Section 2.7.

Modules for each lane are connected through the jacks labeled To Next Lane.

The lane cable will fit only one way. Position lane modules so that they are out

of the way of the swimmers and are not directly submerged in water.

The lane module jack that connects to the touchpad is labeled Touchpad.

6	Timing System Setup

Connections Except RTOP

The push button connection jacks (marked Button 1, Button 2 and Button 3) accept input from backup

buttons held by up Figure 14: Push Button Figure 15: Lane Module with All to three timing

judges per lane. As with the touchpad

connection, match the black jack with the GND side of the plugs (Figure 14). If only one backup button is used, connect it to the jack marked Button 1.

Figure 15 illustrates a lane module with all the connections made except the RTOP.

The Relay Take-Off Platform connection plugs into Button 3, again matching the black jack with the GND side of the plug. If the system is using all three buttons per lane (Figure 16), the RTOP plug may be

piggy-backed to the push button plug using Button 3. If the system is only using 1 or 2 buttons per lane, plug the banana connector from the RTOP directly into Button 3. For more information on the RTOP, refer to

Section 13.

The Lane Extension Module (Figure 17) is an extension cable between the OmniSport 2000 console and the closest lane module. Standard lengths of lane extension available are 25', 50', 100', and 200'

(7.6 m, 15.2 m, 30.5 m, and 61 m).

Always Remember:

Figure 16: RTOP Connected Piggy-back Style on Button 3

Figure 17: Lane Extension Module

If some touchpads are connected backwards and some connected correctly, it will cause touchpads to register times when the pad has not been touched.

Watch for poor connections between plugs and jacks on the lane module. Inspect cabling and connectors for corrosion and damage. Use the silicone lubricant found in the maintenance kit to protect the jacks and plugs from corrosion. Refer to Figure 12 on how to clean the plugs and use the silicone before and after each use.

Connecting to the Timer

Connect the four-pin plug from the deck extension from the “Near” end (or primary finish end) into J10 or the Near Lane jack on the OmniSport 2000 console. If Far End (or split end) touchpads are being used, connect the four-pin plug from that extension cable into J11 Far Lane jack on the timing console. For more information on the OmniSport 2000 timer connections, refer to Figure 28 in Section 2.7.

Timing System Setup

2.5In-deck System

The in-deck cabling system is designed to eliminate most cables from the pool deck. Conduits, junction (J-)boxes and wall boxes embedded into the floor and walls run the cables needed to connect the touchpads, push buttons, RTOPs, lane speakers, horn start, back stroke speaker, bulkheads and timing console (Figure 18). When designing a pool, it is essential to include all the appropriate conduits, J-boxes and drainage. Each facility is different. If designing a facility, please contact Daktronics for help.

Figure 18: Typical In-deck Installation

The only cable on the pool deck will be the ones that connect a piece of equipment like a horn start, timing console, touchpad, etc. to a connection plate on a J-box. J-boxes mounted in the deck are commonly referred to as deck boxes. J-boxes mounted in or on the wall are referred to as wall boxes. Conduits are pipes that provide a place to run the cable between J-boxes.

8	Timing System Setup

Individual Lane Deck Plate

The individual lane deck plate (Figure 19) has six sets of connection jacks: one touchpad, three backup push button, lane speaker and start. The touchpad will plug into the dual banana jack labeled TP. Buttons 1-3 will plug into the banana jacks labeled B1, B2 and B3. The RTOP will plug in the jack labeled B3. If the system has three push buttons, piggy-back the RTOP connector onto Button 3 connector.

The SPEAKER connector is for a Daktronics individual lane speaker—a 45 ohm speaker. Do not substitute any other type of speaker without consulting Daktronics.

Figure 19: Individual Lane

Deck Plate

The START connector is used to plug a remote strobe into. In some cases, if a system does not have an independent start location deck plate, the horn start will be connected to the nearest individual lane deck plate. This will provide for the start and lane speaker connections, but not the Aux (Backstroke) speaker connection.

Start Location Deck Plate
The start location deck plate (Figure 20) is used for both the horn
start location and the Aux (Backstroke) speaker location. Plug the
connectors from the horn start labeled DAKTRONICS N/O to the
dual banana jacks labeled START on the deck plate. Connect the
dual banana connectors on the horn start labeled AUX SPEAKER
to the jacks on the deck plate labeled AUX SPEAKERS. Do the
same for the jacks labeled LANE SPEAKERS. Most facilities will
have one of these plates on both sides of the pool.	Figure 20: Start Deck Plate

If there is a second plate on the other side of the pool, connect a Daktronics auxiliary speaker to the dual banana jacks labeled AUX SPEAKERS. If using a remote strobe for the opposite side of the pool, plug it into the dual banana jacks labeled START.

Bulkhead Deck Plate

Figure 21 illustrates a bulkhead location deck plate which combines the connectors from a start deck plate with the lane data from a lane interface in the bulkhead. Typically one of these plates is on the bulkhead and one on the deck. Jumper cables over the deck connect the two plates together.

Wall Plates

There are a variety of wall plates. Two of the most common wall plates are shown in

Figure 22 and Figure 23. A wall plate is typically where the timer is set up and connected to the system.

Always Remember

Internal Speaker

The HS-200 has a built-in rechargeable

battery. The battery will provide at least 15 hours of operation when it is completely charged. The charger in the horn start will not overcharge the battery. After the horn start has been used, plug in the power supply and connect it to AC power for at least 24 hours before putting the horn start into storage. For longer battery life, DO NOT run the battery dead.

Always charge the battery before storage. Turn the power switch off when not in use.

Connecting the Horn Start System

Note: Correct connections are crucial for the horn start to properly function. Improper plugging may cause damage to the OmniSport 2000 console. Refer to Figure 8 to remember to plug the GND

(ground) tab to the black colored jack.

Connect the lane speaker cable plug into the jacks labeled LANE SPEAKERS on the HS-200 panel as shown in Figure 27. If an auxiliary speaker is used, place the speaker where desired and route cable from the HS-200 system to the speaker. Connect the cable into the speaker jack marked AUX SPEAKER.

Connect the timer output cord to the swim timing console. Insert the cable to the jacks labeled DAKTRONICS N/O (normally open). The other end of this start cable is connected to the back of the OmniSport 2000 J12 START INPUT (Figure 28).

Figure 27: Horn Start Connections

10	Timing System Setup

If using the HS-200 with an Omega® timing console, connect the start cable from the console to the N/C OTHER connector on the HS-200.

If using the HS-200 with a Colorado Timing System console, connect the start cable from the CTS console to the DAKTRONICS N/O connectors on the HS-200.

Connect the microphone into the jack labeled MIC on the horn start panel.
