Summary of Contents for EMIT ETS 2

  • Page 1 User manual Emit Time Station ETS 2 rev. 2.1 - 11.11.2020...
  • Page 2 This user’s guide describes the use of Emit Time Station ETS2, which is used to register emiTags. The user’s guide firstly describes the ETS2’s various functions and then explains how the enclosed extra equipment is to be connected and used.

  • Page 3: Equipment Included

    You may use the ETS2 with the internal eLine loop or with up to two external eLine loops. It is also possible to use Emit's 'StandUp Loop', if you prefer to have a loop on the side of the course/track. The accuracy is better when you use two eLine loops (approxiimately 1/100 second depending on the speed).

  • Page 4: Charging The Built-In Batteries

    The ETS2 has several ports for connecting external equipment on top of the unit, under the lid. These include (from the left to the right seen from the front):  'GPRS' - For connecting external GPRS antenna  'Finish' - Double banana plugs for connecting a photo cell ...
  • Page 5 CONNECTIONS The radio antenna If you wish to use an external radio antenna, it should be connected to the port marked ‘Antenna’ You do not need an external antenna as long as the ETS2 is placed no more than five meters from the track, but it may be wise to use an external radio antenna if the distance is longer than this.
  • Page 6 disconnected or not functioning. An orange light indicates that the eLine loop was disconnected when the power was switched on, or that the connection has been broken, but is now OK. A blue light indicates that no connected antenna is needed.
  • Page 7 Using photo cells When using photo cell(s) at the finish you must connect to the double banana plug marked 'FINISH'. When the ETS2 is connected to photo cell(s), it will use the photo cell as finish time and match this time to the correct tag number.

  • Page 8: User Interface

    USER INTERFACE The display of the ETS2 has seven available lines and up to 20 symbols. Three keys on each side of the display control the various menu choices. In addition the keypad has numerical keys and comma, plus four set keys. ...

  • Page 9: Menu System

    MENU SYSTEM The menu system is used to customize various settings for the ETS2. In this section we'll go through all menu items and explain how they work. Press the 'Menu'-button to enter the main menu. Pressing 'Menu' again brings you back one step in the menu system - and if you are in the main menu it will return to operating mode.
  • Page 10 Info (main menu – info) The info menu displays various information for the ETS2. There are five menu choices in the info menu; general, power, versions, modem and print. The four first menu choices lead to a sub menu. Press the 'Print'-key to print all this information on the internal thermal printer.
  • Page 11 shows the ampere. The forth line shows how many running hours the ETS2 has left, while the last line shows the temperature of the battery. Versions (main menu – info – versions) The versions info menu shows the version number for the ETS2 on the first line. The second and third line shows the version numbers for various sub-processes.
  • Page 12 ‘Intermed.’sets the code 70, which is the default code for intermediate/split times. ‘Start’ sets the code 0, which resets the internal clock in the emiTags. ‘Finish 1l.’ sets the code 90 and activates loop1. ‘Finish 2l.’ sets the code 248 and activates both loop1 and loop2. This is the only choice that uses both loop1 and loop2! The code used for the ETS2 decides what kind of registration you will get and which frequency the radio will transmit on.
  • Page 13 Printer (main menu – settings- printer) Press 'On' to enable printing, if the ETS2 has a printer installed. Default setting is 'Off*. Display (main menu – settings – display) Choose display mode: Normal: Shows running time, station code, tag number and finishing time. Dev/RSSI: Shows the radio’s deviations in frequency and transmitting ability Loop Sts.:...
  • Page 14 More... (main menu – settings – more) This is the continuation of the settings menu. Protocol (main menu – settings – more - protocol) Choose protocol (for transmitting data to a PC): Normal: Standard values, default setting. Short: Sends 34 bytes. Use with some external devices. Ext dump: Sets a protocol with extended information, when reading the tags.
  • Page 15 Loop 1 (main menu – settings – more – loop – loop1) Use this function to adjust the amperage sent to loop1. The second line shows the current amperage (I=2375). Default setting is 'Standard', which should give an amperage of approximately 2300 (+/- 100). Choose 'Medium' to get an amperage of approximately 4700 (+/- 100), and 'High' to get the maximum amperage, which is approximately 6800 (+/- 100).
  • Page 16 Precision (main menu – settings – more – precision) Choose the preferred precision/resolution for ETS2. Default setting is 1/1000. The preferred precision is only used on timing events registered on the 'Start/Sync'- and 'Finish'-inputs. The output of ETS2 (serial, printer, modem) will use the preferred number of decimals on these timing events.
  • Page 17 Press 'Day' to resend all data collected today. Press 'Stop' to stop resending data. eUpgrade eUpgrade is a program - provided for free by Emit – that is used to upgrade the internal firmware version of the ETS2. The program may be downloaded from http://195.159.103.189/software/...
  • Page 18 If eUpgrade doesn't show any information, check that the ETS2 is properly connected and that the USB-driver has been correctly installed in Windows. Click the 'Get firmware from server'-button to obtain the firmware files suited for your ETS2. Choose the newest/highest firmware version and click the 'Transfer'-button. Wait until eUpgrade has finished transferring the new firmware version, and click the 'Upgrade'-button.
