  14. Timing Setup Verification • Technical Requirements : RIS art. 611 FIS Update 2012

  15. Timing Setup - Priorities The BIG Rocks Theory • Strict Minimum: • Primary and Secondary Systems (A and B) (Isolated): • Homologated Timers • Homologated Start Gates • Homologated Photocells • Start-Finish Wire • Hand Timing • All the rest: • Display Board • Intermediate Times • Speed Trap FIS Update 2012

  16. Frequent errors The timer forgets to sync the timers before the men’s run (ex: 2nd run of the morning, after the women). The Net Times are printed with more than 2 decimals (or less)(ex: 52.4379) (rounding or truncating ?) A and B systems are connected on the same wire (1 pair - Jumpered). Synching the B system from the A system instead of from the Start Gate together. FIS Update 2012
