The Wireless Computer Interface provides you with a convenient wireless data link between your Time Machine and a host computer for distances of up to 400 feet. The wireless data link utilizes high quality Bluetooth technology to provide you with a secure and error free transfer of data. It can be used as a direct replacement of the standard Time Machine Interface Cable, however instead of connecting to a computer serial port, it conveniently connects to any available USB port on your computer. The interface emulates a standard serial COM port connection, allowing you to utilize your favorite software scoring program in the same way that you are familiar with.
Connect to Multiple Time Machines Simultaneously!

The Wireless Gun-Start System provides you with a convenient “cable-free” method of automatically starting your Time Machine with a starting gun. The system utilizes a Wireless Transducer that senses the blast of a starting gun and then sends a “start signal” to your Time Machine located up to 450 feet away. The system utilizes high quality RF technology and components to provide you with a reliable and simple solution to automatically start your Time Machine.
The Wireless Gun-Start Transducer is rugged, sealed, and waterproof. It also features a sophisticated power circuit utilizing an internal battery that does not require replacement. The battery will typically last for up to 20 years or up to approximately 1.6 million starts.

Wireless Gun-Start System
The Range Extender Boom is used to increase the range of your Wireless Gun-Start system by elevating the Wireless Receiver unit.
This may be necessary in order to achieve a strong signal connection between the Gun Transducer and the Receiver unit when they are diagonally located across the track on fields that have a significant amount of terrain “crown” in the middle of the field.
The terrain crown on football fields can block a significant amount of the transmitted signal and thereby reduce the range of the wireless system when the receiver and transmitter are on diagonally opposed corners of the field. In order to compensate for this, the Receiver unit must be elevated a few feet – typically around 5 ft off the ground is adequate. Therefore we offer a tri-pod boom with an attached 6 ft
cable in order to achieve this.
