  • Page 4 Introduction Thank you for purchasing Colorado Time Systems’ Infinity Pro start system. The portable Infinity Pro Start System contains many features including a loud (120dB) start tone, and ultra-bright adjustable LED strobe. The Infinity Pro also has the ability to be used as a limited public address system.
  • Page 5 Mounting Options Place the Infinity module on a tabletop or use the optional CTS tripod (TR-3) or flagpole mount (START-FPM-2) with its mounting bracket. Features The Infinity Pro electronic start system contains many features which make it versatile and easy to customize for different applications.
  • Page 6 Control Panel and Connections (A) Status indicator (G) Volume control (B) Power / Menu button (C) Microphone connection (D) Start connection (E) Charging Port (H) External visual (F) External speaker Indicator connection connection Status Indicator (A) When powering on the Infinity Pro the status indicator LED lights up in a short red, green, blue, sequence.
  • Page 7 Power/Menu button (B) To power the unit on, press and hold the power button for approximately 3 seconds until the status indicator displays the battery state. Press and hold the power button for approximately 5 seconds to power the unit off. During the power down period the status indicator LED will blink yellow.
  • Page 8 The volume control affects only the microphone volume, not the start tone volume. See menu instructions on page 9 for information on setting start and recall tone volume. See page 6 for microphone optimization External Visual Indicator (H) This is where an External Visual Indicator (EVI) can be connected to the start system. The Infinity Pro supports one (1) EVI that functions as a strobe.
  • Page 9 Operation Battery The Infinity Pro start system operates on its built-in 12 VDC battery. When the battery is fully charged typical operation is 12 or more hours, depending on usage. Using the starter as a public address system substantially reduces battery life. It is important that you make sure the battery is fully charged before each day’s swimming.
  • Page 10 Strobe Light The strobe light flashes automatically whenever the start system generates a start pulse and start tone. Strobe Light Usage If coaches, parents, and spectators attempt to start their stopwatches from the start tone, they will not get accurate starts. The relatively slow speed of sound (compared with the speed of light) generally results in late stopwatch starts for observers at any distance from the speakers.
  • Page 11 Menu Options The Infinity Pro offers four menu options: Start Tone volume, Strobe intensity, Start Tone Selection and Start Signal Polarity. To enter the menu options, double press the MENU button on the control panel. A double press is created by pressing the button twice within 0.5 seconds. The status indicator LED will turn pink for the first menu point.
  • Page 12 Start Signal Polarity Press the PTT button to toggle a normally open or a normally closed start signal. When the normally open signal is selected the status indicator LED will be red and blink with a short blink. When normally closed is selected, the status indicator LED will be red and blink with a long blink.
  • Page 13 Maintenance Your Infinity Pro start system has been carefully designed to provide years of trouble- free service.
