Introduction - TAG Heuer HL 440 User Manual

1. Introduction

• The Minitimer HL 440 is a professional timing system with 4 inputs using the same « high Technology » as
our Chronoprinter 540. It is an essential general-purpose timer for many applications.
• The HL 440 has a high precision "time base", ideal for communication bi-directionally with a computer. It
supersedes the popular PTB 605 and 606. Together with TAG Heuer software it is possible to print the
calculated times and the name of the competitors on the Martel (HL 200) printer (connected to Minitimer).
• It memorizes 30'000 times in 99 timing sessions with a user-selected precision between 1 second and
th
1/100' 000 of second.
• The Minitimer can be connected to our Martel HL 200 printer enabling the printing of times on line (ON
LINE) or in download mode (OFF LINE).
• The HL 440 can be used at the start of a race (Alpine skiing for example) as a numerical-keyboard to
identify the competitor's number. As soon as the competitor leaves the start both the time and the
competitor number will be transmitted to the timekeeper by wire connection, or by our radio transmission
system (HL 670 or HL 680).
• It is also an excellent backup system (manual or automatic). The competitor number can be introduced
before or after the timing impulse
• Two Minitimers can be connected together (or to a Chronoprinter 540) to provide up to 8 input channels.
•
The Minitimer has a special timing mode called "Training," which is designed for the automatic training
sessions (Start, Inter 1, Inter 2 and Finish
(RECALL function)
)
