Page 4: Hiclock General Description
LOCK GENERAL DESCRIPTION HiClock is the new Microgate start clock. Using a full colour LED matrix (16x48 pixels with 10mm spacing) it can display different starting sequences flexibly according to the timing requirements. The ability to configure the sequence and repetition time from the side touch display or the ability to load custom sequences from a USB stick enables simple and flexible coverage of even the most insidious requests. - Page 5 RTPro, ReiPro DISPLAY MODE 6 different modes of starting sequence display REPETITION TIME configurable repetition time PRESET TIMES 3 default repetition times can be preset and called up via touch or external keypad HiClock User manual IT – v 1.0.0...

RJ45 E THERNET CONNECTOR The RJ45 connector is used to connect HiClock to a LAN network for it to be piloted by the RtPro or ReiPro stopwatches or by a PC via port 21967 of the selected IP address. MPHENOL CONNECTOR The 5-pole Amphenol connector allows HiClock to be powered at a voltage of from 12 to 28 volts in direct current. -
Page 8: Communication
OMMUNICATION HiClock is equipped with an external amplified GPS antenna for synchronization and a Bluetooth/WiFi antenna for optimum communication with Microgate or PC stopwatches. The full-colour LED matrix then enables optimal starting sequences to be viewed and the external IP67 speaker to be used for sound generation. -
