ASC2 - False Start Detection

Enquire
cabinetStart monitoring systems are used for athletic events, especially during major competitions.

ASC2 (Automatic Start Control) is suitable for all levels of athletics, and is compatible with timing installations manufactured by Swiss Timing. It enables up to 10 lanes to be monitored simultaneously.

The starting block sensors take account of the physiological response time, i.e. the time elapsed between the starting signal and the thrust of the athlete’s heel against the starting block. The system memorizes and prints all the reactions times occurring in the interval of one second before and one second after the starting gunshot. In the event of a false start, an acoustic signal is transmitted by the central station to the starter’s headphones and to the starting block loudspeakers.

Online data transfer is made possible via a RS422 serial line to a data handling unit and SCAN'O'VISION units.

An OST4 transducer for start pistol is included in the set. A second OST4 transducer can be connected simultaneously to the system as an option, in order to provide a backup signal, thus improving the total reliability.

The orders of the starter are amplified and easily understandable by the athletes in their individual loudspeaker. The volume of the voice calls and the volume of the false start warning sound can be individually adjusted.
