Synchronizing

The Timy3 can be synchronized with an ALGE-TIMING GPS-receiver GPS-A with the exact time
of day. It is also possible to synchronize the Timy3 with other Timy3 or other timing devices
(e.g TdC8001).

4.1 GPS Synchronization

It is possible to synchronize the Timy3 with a GPS mouse (GPS-TY). The synchronization can
be carried out in all Timy programs and is accurate to a 1/10,000 second.
•
The GPS mouse (picture: GPS 18LVC) needs no exter-
nal power supply.
•
The RS232 baud rate of the Timy3 has to be set to 9600
baud.
•
In the menu <channels> the item <TED-RX> has to be
deactivated.
•
The GPS synchronizes the Timy3. After this the Timy3
runs with its own precision quartz and the GPS can be
disconnected. The GPS mouse can now be used to
synchronize further devices.
Instead of the time of day setting, the display shows as
indicated on the right. As long as it says "NO SIGNAL", the
GPS receiver is searching for satellites.
When "OK -UTC +UTC NO" is displayed in the bottom
line, the time for your region can be adjusted with keys
and . As soon as the correct time is shown, press
.
Attention!
After receipt of a valid GPS signal, the Timy3 verifies the checksum and measures the dura-
tion of the sync signal. If the sync signal is erroneous, the Timy3 carries out a reset. Thus, it is
impossible to generate an invalid sync time. If the Timy3 is supplied by external power, it au-
tomatically restarts. In case of operation with internal power, the Timy3 turns off and has to be
restarted.
Remove the GPS receiver from the Timy3. Press
start the selected program.
4.2

Synchronization of Timy3 from another Timing Device

The Timy3 can be synchronized via your start channel C0 from any ALGE-TIMING timing de-
vice. You can also synchronize multiple timing devices at the same time.
•
connect Timy3 with cable 000-xx or 004-xx to other timing device(s)
•
switch on Timy3
•
clear or save memory
•
set the time of day at which the synchronization takes place and confirm with <OK>
•
set the date and confirm with <OK>
•
trigger start (can be with the <START> key of the Timy3 or by short-outing the start
line, e.g. with push button or start gate)
