2 Program TrackTimer
The program TrackTimer is made for all sports with one mass start andfinish arrival on different
tracks (e.g. athletic, swimming). It is possible to start a race and use for each lane a different
finish trigger. To operatethe Timy in this mode you needadditionally the Docking Station TIDO
or Multichannel MC9.
Further this program works also very well for timing a single racer with intermediate times. The
clock stops after each impulse and continues with the running time when pressing key <OK>
(red).

4 Configuration for WTN-PB
When using WTN-PBs, socket mode must be used from 4 lanes in the WTN menu. This is
configured as follows.
Up to 9 timing channels can be configured for the WTN in this mode. Pulses stopped in so-
cket mode are marked with a "t" (e.g. t0124 ST 10:12:34.0384)Starten Sie die WTN-Geräte,
die externe Zeitmessimpulse erzeugen; stellen Sie das gleiche Team wie im Timy3 ein.
•Check that the WTN of your Timy3 is switched on
•Press the Menu-Button .
•Choose <WTN> and press .
•Choose <SOCKET> and press .
•Under„Neighbour“ you should see the total amount of WTN-
PBs in the same Team.
•Choose with the F-Button the devices you like to configure (z.
B. F3 = all WTN-devices)
•Because of technical limitations you can not configure the E-
START W as a socket device! The E-START W works all-
ways in standard mode so the BANGx will be triggered cor-
rect.
•Now press the WTN-PB used for the first lane.
•1 SOCKET is now shown in the display.
•Press then ext WTN-PB. (Lane 2)
•It shows now 2 SOCKET in the display
•continue.
•After configuring all WTN-PBs press to exit.
•Now all WTN-PB are connected, but using channel 0 to n-1)
•Now you have to change the channel usage.
•Press Menu-Channels-Channel-Usage and adjust the cha-

•If you want to input another ID-number, do it with the keyboard and confirm it with or
•Start the race with a start impulse (channel 0) or keyboard .
•Stop each competitor with finish impulse device (e.g. manual push buttons)
•If you get a wrong impulse, or if you want to see other times press .
•After the race is finished, input the next ID-number and confirm it with or , etc.
•Check one last setting to be sure that all timing channels are used for the right lanes.
6 Display Mode
You can select between four different mode.
LANE-MODE
RANK-MODE
ALTERNATING-MODE
STANDARD-MODE
6.1 LANE-MODE
The Channel and Lane are the same. You can connect up to 8 GAZ or D-LINE with 7 digit.
The running time will be shown on the display board with address 1.
Lane 1 = Channel 1 = Display address 1
Lane 2 = Channel 2 = Display address 2
etc.
6.2 RANK-MODE
You can connect up to 8 GAZ or D-LINE with 7 digit.. The running time will be shown on the
display board with address 1
Rank 1 = Display address 1
Rank 2 = Display address 2
etc.
6.3 ALTERNATING-MODE
Works on one display board with 8 digit who will show time, rank and lane. The switch for
address adjustment must be on 0.
If the delay time setting is 0, the display board shows only the first stopped time.
To show the next time you have to press the red „OK” button.
6.4 STANDARD-MODE
Display board shows only the stopped time without rank and lane for the duration of the ad-
justed delay time.
