Wireless Photocell Connection
Note: If using wired photocells, refer instead to Section 2.2.
The OmniSport 2000 console is capable of interfacing with third-party FarmTek Polaris
wireless photocells (
www.farmtek.net ). The system consists of a wireless transmitter, wireless
receiver, and the timer (Figure 7). For more information about setting up FarmTek equipment,
consult the manufacturer’s documentation. The timer and photocells are powered by AA and
9V batteries, respectively. Always keep fresh batteries on hand for every event!
To communicate with the wireless photocells,
connect the cable (by FarmTek) between the Output
jack of the Polaris timer and the J4 EXPANSION
PORT on the back of the OmniSport 2000 console
(Figure 8).
Ensure the photocell eyes are aligned and level, with
a clear line of sight between them. Both transmitter
and receiver feature mounting holes for included
tripods. Power on the Polaris timer AFTER powering
on the console or the console will not boot up!
