Section 2: Mechanical Installation
2.1 Touchpad 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).
3. Use a 7/16" socket wrench to secure the brackets in
place on the touchpad (Figure 4).
4. A Daktronics touchpad is designed to fill with water
to aid in its stabilization. When properly installed, the
touchpad should “hug” the pool wall (Figure 5).
5. Connect the touchpads to the lane modules or deck
plates. Read and follow instructions in Section 3.
Do not allow swimmers to use paddles, fins or kick
boards with touchpads in the pool!
Mechanical Installation 3
Figure 6: Touchpad with Spacers
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 6). Spacer size
is determined by the height and the extra depth required. Use 3M™ VHB™ Tape 5930
(Daktronics part number AT-1089 [¾"]) to adhere the spacers to the touchpad.
Ensure the spacers do not cover the drainage holes on the back of the touchpad!
Note: Daktronics does not provide these spacers.
For more information on the care and maintenance of touchpads, refer to Section 4.

Figure 9: Individual Lane Deck Plate
Section 3: Connections
3.1 Deck Cabling and Lane Modules
Always place cables and equipment in areas of minimal
traffic. Cover wires and cables with a mat to prevent
accidents. Figure 7 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.
If some touchpads are connected backwards and some
connected correctly, it may cause touchpads to register
times when the pad has not been touched.
For an On-Deck System, connect the plug from
the touchpad to the TOUCHPAD jack on a lane
module (Figure 8).
After the system has been completely set up,
test each touchpad (refer to Section 3.2).
For an In-Deck System, connect the plug from the
touchpad into the TP jack on the lane deck plate
(Figure 9).
After the system has been completely set up, test
each touchpad (refer to Section 3.2).
For more information about any additional input device connections and connecting to the
OmniSport 2000 timer, refer to the OmniSport 2000 Timing Console Operations Manual
(ED-13312).
This control console manual is available online at www.daktronics.com/manuals.
Electrical Installation 5
3.2 Functional Test
1. Plug the touchpad into the touchpad input on the lane module or deck plate. Make sure
that the GND tab on the touchpad connector is lined up with the black jack on the lane
module/deck plate touchpad input.
2. Make sure that the lane modules/deck plates are connected to the OmniSport 2000
console and the console is powered on.
3. Enter the swimming mode of the OmniSport 2000 console and select Menu 5, then 2 to
display the lane data test menu. When the touchpad is pressed, a “T” should flash for 2
seconds in the lane corresponding to the touchpad.
4. With the touchpad hanging in place on the pool wall, bend down and with an open hand,
touch the touchpad with just finger tips. Do this by brining the hand in with the same
amount of energy a swimmer in the water would have. If this is done too lightly, or to
slowly, expect that a touch may not register. Also, because the touchpad needs to charge
back up, count “1001, 1002, 1003” before touching again.
5. Watching the lane data test screen, repeat this test across the entire touchpad surface,
from left to right and top to bottom. This will ensure that there are no dead spots in the
touchpad.

Section 4: Maintenance & Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Always disconnect the touchpad, remove it from the water, and allow it to dry before doing
any repair work.
2. Disconnect touchpad and remove it from water when not in use.
4.1 Basic Maintenance of Timing System
After each meet, it is crucial to follow these basic maintenance procedures to ensure the
longevity of the timing equipment.
Turn off the power to all equipment associated with the system.
When the system is set up for an event, touchpads should be removed from the water
every 48 hours, inspected, and allowed to dry for 6 hours.
o Inspect the cable and connector for nicks, cuts, and corrosion. Use the brush
provided in the maintenance kit to remove any corrosion from the banana
connections. After cleaning, apply silicone grease to the connectors. Replace cable
if necessary (refer to Section 4.6).
o Verify that all edge protectors are securely in place. Replace edge protectors if
necessary (refer to Section 4.5).
o Verify the boot along the top front bend is not cut.
o Refer to Section 4.3 for additional inspection procedures.
At the end of each meet, remove the
touchpads from the pool, place them onto
their storage cart (Figure 10). Store
touchpads in a room outside of the pool
environment and chemicals. Recommended
temperatures in storage area should range
between 33°F and 90° F (55° C and 32.2° C)
with adequate fresh air circulation.
4.2 Touchpad Cleaning
Maintenance & Troubleshooting 7
After each meet, rinse the touchpad with non-chlorinated tap water. If possible the touchpad
should be submerged in a tank of fresh water, otherwise use a hose or pour buckets of water
onto the touchpad.
DO NOT use a pressure washer.
DO NOT use treated pool water.
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution/Items to Check
Voltage measured on the
banana plug of the touchpad
cable when it is plugged into
the lane module or deck
plate is 0 V DC or close to it
Bad connection between the
banana plug and the lane
module (on-deck) or
deck plate (in-deck)
1) Clean both the male banana
plug on the touchpad cable and
the female jack on the lane
module or deck plate.
2) Using a small straight screw
driver, bow out the center of
each of the 4 leafs on the male
banana pin so that it provides
more pressure on the contact
when the banana plug is
inserted into the lane module or
deck plate (see Figure 11).
3) If cleaning the connections
doesn’t resolve the problem,
check the next Possible Cause.
4.3 Inspection Procedure
Visually inspect:
Banana plug for corrosion – if corrosion is found, refer to Section 4.6
Cable for cuts – if cuts are found, refer to Section 4.6
All edge protectors are securely in place
Rubber boot across the top of the touchpad is not ripped/torn and is adhered in place
Non-slip surface on the face of the touchpad is not cut, torn or peeling
The touchpad is not delaminating. This will be evident if the face of the touchpad
looks like it is ballooning, with big bubbles (6 + inches in diameter) or when pressed,
it is loose.
For sharp edges; remove any sharp edges with a file
Touchpad brackets are adjusted correctly for the gutter type
Touchpad is flat against the pool wall, with no water inlets or other obstructions
between the touchpad and the wall
4.4 Advanced Touchpad Troubleshooting
1. Plug the touchpad into the touchpad input on the lane module or deck plate. Make sure
that the GND tab on the touchpad connector is lined up with the black jack on the lane
module/deck plate touchpad input.
2. Make sure that the lane modules/deck plates are connected to the OmniSport 2000
console and that the console is powered on and in swimming mode.
3. Using a DC voltmeter, connect the red probe to the positive connector of the touchpad,
and connect the black probe to the GND connector of the touchpad.
With the touchpad installed and not being pressed, 0.25 V DC should be measured.
When the touchpad is pressed, the voltage should drop to approximately 0 V DC.
When the press is released, the voltage should start climbing for approximately 1.5 -
If the readings are different from those described above, use the following table to
determine the possible cause and solution. If a problem occurs that is not listed or that
cannot be resolved, contact Daktronics using the information provided in Section 5.
8 Maintenance & Troubleshooting
3 seconds and level out at 0.25 V DC again.
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution/Items to Check
On-deck:
Bad lane module input
1) Disconnect the touchpad from
the lane module and clean the
connections if not already
performed.
2) Measure the voltage between
the red and black connectors on
the TOUCHPAD input of the
lane module:
If the voltage is 0 V DC, the
touchpad input on the lane
module is probably bad.
Swap the module with one
known to work correctly to
verify. Contact Daktronics
to order a replacement lane
module if needed.
If the voltage is 0.25 V DC,
it is probably a shorted
touchpad. Refer to Possible
Cause: Shorted Touchpad.
In-deck:
High resistance in the cable
between the deck plate and
lane interface, the termination
of the cable to the green
phoenix connector, the mating
of the green phoenix
connector onto the lane
interface, or a bad touchpad
input on the lane interface
With the touchpad connected,
use a voltmeter to measure V
DC on pins 1 and 5 of the green
phoenix connector. If the
reading is 0.25 V DC at the lane
interface and 0 V DC at the
deck plate, there is a break or
high resistance in the cabling or
termination of the cable to the
phoenix connector.
With the touchpad
disconnected, use a voltmeter
to measure V DC on pins 1 and
5 of the green phoenix
connector. If the reading is 0 V
DC or close to it, it is probably
corrosion between the green
phoenix connector and the lane
interface, or a bad touchpad
input on the lane interface.
In either instance, contact
Daktronics using the information
provided in Section 5.
Shorted Touchpad
If a shorted touchpad is suspected,
Contact Daktronics using the
information provided in Section 5.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting 9
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution/Items to Check
Touchpad is not registering
a touch, and the voltage
stays at 0.25 V DC when the
touchpad is pressed
Bad touchpad cable
1) Unplug the touchpad from the
lane module/deck plate.
2) Set the meter to continuity.
3) Touch the red probe of the
meter to the GND tab of the
touchpad connector, and touch
the black probe of the meter to
the back sheet of the touchpad.
The meter should read 0 ohms.
If it is open, the cable is bad.
4) Next touch the red probe
against the positive connector of
the touchpad and touch the
black probe to the center sheet
of the touchpad (accessed
through one of the drain holes
on the back side of the
touchpad). The meter should
read 0 ohms. If there is no
continuity, the cable is bad.
5) Refer to Section 4.6 to replace
the bad touchpad cable.
