Chronomix Displays will operate in an automatic mode which simplifies the testing of large numbers of athletes. Tests can be run with a separate start and finish such as a 40 yard dash for football, a 60 yard run for baseball or other fixed distance measurements. Tests can also be run where a single line serves as both the starting and finishing point such as T tests, laps or base running. Photocells are used for the start and finish lines. Generally these tests are of relatively short duration and a four digit display will suffice, however all Chronomix Displays can run in automatic.
Use Interval Timers to time drills and exercise routines for basketball. Set the timer to sound the horn at intervals of a few seconds to develop timing in specific drills. Three different programs can be stored and then recalled as needed, such as different sequences for standard workouts which are done everyday. Go to Scoreboards to see portable battery operated scoreboards for timing and scoring two competitors.
Displays can be used for timing. Time resolution is .01 second. Displays are also used to show the riders the number of laps remaining. The Display can be placed in the event counting mode and each time the riders approach the starting line the display is decreased by one number.
Printing timers are used to time races and to collect timing data for entry into a computer. Time resolution is .001 second. Photocells can be used to increase accuracy. The Select Timing Keypad accessory can be used to enter rider numbers attached to the times.
.
Interval Timers are used for controlling practice sessions. Action periods and rest periods are programmed so they will repeat a specific number of times. Three programs with different time periods can be stored in memory for instant retrieval such as a hard workout, medium work out and light work out. Interval timers are also used to time matches.
The CC737 Timer or CT200 Timer and a photocell set are used for qualifying lap timing on circle tracks. Both units provide timing to .001 second and produce printed results. The "System I Photocell Set" offers long range, penetrating power and resistance to stray light sources. The CC737 Compusport Timer equipped with the Multilane accessory (see Multi-lane Accessories) will allow ten separate people to keep track of the times of ten different vehicles. Even more cars can be timed by entering car numbers in a computer in response to a caller. On larger tracks as many as 30 cars can be timed for each lap by having a person call out the car numbers. The car numbers are then entered in the computer to match the times being sent by the photocell. The caller also identifies when 2 cars cross the line together so that the timing can be corrected in the computer.
.
Timing Displays for timing multiple qualifying laps. Normally operated with photocells (purchased separately). Display shows the running time (minutes and seconds) and as each lap is completed, the display shows the lap time with a resolution of .01 second. Models with four digits show the lap time as seconds and hundredths (12.34). Models with six digits show the lap time in minutes, seconds and hundredths (15:12.34). Automatic models show the lap time for 5 seconds and then automatically revert to the running time for the next lap. Semi-automatic models stop on each lap and hold the time until released by the operator after which they revert to the running time. Available in all displays in the CC7300 and CC3000 model series.
.
Printing Timers for Timing with separate starts: Produce results to .001 second including lap time (subtracted splits) and elapsed time (cumulative splits). Each car is timed in a separate channel which is activated as the car approaches the line. Car numbers may be entered either before or during the run and will be printed out on the results report for that car. Capable of showing times on a display. New features have been added to automate the arming of cars. Powered by built-in, rechargeable NiCad batteries for all day operation. NIST traceable calibration certificate can be provided on request.
The CC737 Timer can be used for timing long races by positioning the timer at the finish and relaying the start information by radio or phone. See Accuracy Requirements and Equipment Choice.
The CC737 is used with photocells for accurate timing of fast targets. Results are printed with a resolution of .001 second. The select Keypad can be used to attach car numbers to the times.
The CC737 and a photocell will allow the pit crew to accurately measure lap times of their car without having to rely on other sources for track timing equipment. The CC737 is highly accurate, compact and rugged. See Photocell System I Set.
The CT600 can time up to 6 cars on the course at one time and provide an individual printed result for each car. For methods of capturing the start and finish times, see Accuracy Requirements. A Timing Display can be used to post finish times as they occur.
The CC737 and CT600 can time multiple cars including start times and finish times by timing each car in a different timing channel. The elapsed time between the start and the finish is calculated by the timer and printed on the report. Up to ten cars can be on the track at one time. Photocells are used to take advantage of the .001 second resolution.
The 4 digit Displays are good for cutting horse competitions. These models are built with the Gym horn to provide a low tone appropriate for horses. The count down time is set by the operator. Once set, it can be recalled instantly by pressing a single button.
The Model CC3146 is used for counting down the time allowed for the run. Displays with 4 inch, 6 inch and 9 inch digits are available. The count down period is entered in memory allowing it to be recalled at the touch of a button to ready the timer for the next run. A horn can be sounded at an intermediate time when a set number of seconds remains. The horn can be manually switched off to avoid the horn at the start of the time period.
Dog sled races may extend for a number of hours so 5 or 6 digit displays are recommended. The display can sound a horn at the starting line to start each contestant. They can be used at the finish to show time of day or running time. The CC737 will time all the competitors by recording a start time and a finish time (as well as intermediate times) for each competitor. The select timing keypad can be used for attaching the bib number of a contestant to a time.
.
Chronomix Displays are used for timing cross country and paddock events.
Used for timing a series of time segments for football practice. Both the segment number and the segment countdown are displayed.
Both Timers and Displays are used to time the runs and display results to spectators.
The CC8152 ProTime CIT is particularly useful for guiding practice in the martial arts. Times are set for practice sessions such as 4 minutes of action, 30 second rest, all repeated 5 times for a men's practice program. A woman's program of 3 minutes of action and a children's program of 2 minutes of action are similar. All three programs are stored in memory for instant retrieval and use. Even with 3 stored programs, the active memory can still be used for a fourth program.
The CC4204 Chronomix Judo Scoring System presents complete scoring information for the benefit of spectators, competitors and officials.
The full size scoreboards use 4.0 inch high LED displays with a viewing distance of 160 feet. The smaller model has 2.3 inch high LED displays with a viewing distance of ninety feet. When multiple scoreboards are used, both large and small models can be daisy chained so that they all show the same information, for example, when one mat is being used for the final matches. For preliminary matches they can be used individually at each mat. The two part hand-held control unit is designed to accommodate both a scorekeeper and a timekeeper. A six tone horn is built into each unit which makes it easy to assign a different tone at each mat when several mats are used at once.
The CC3256J Display shows both Match Time and Osaekomi Time and is used for timing at the mat for tournaments. A six tone horn provides a different tone for each of 6 different mats. Battery operation makes it is easy to set up and use.
Short period races are easily timed with Chronomix Displays. Printers can be added for printed results
The Model CC7344 MasterTime Display serves as a pace clock for track practice or swimming laps. It will run as a continuous clock or it can be programmed to repeat a specific time period a certain number of times. For example if you want to train at a lap time of 1 minute 30 seconds you can set this on the timer and it will count up 1 minute and 30 seconds over and over again. If you are going to swim 20 laps you set the repeat for 20 and the timer will automatically stop counting after 20 repeats. Let the timer do the counting. A timer with lights can be set for more creative training programs. For example, it can be set to time 7 green laps, 2 yellow laps and 1 red lap for a 10 lap workout.

Shorter races may be associated with special events and celebrations and may involve special timing considerations such as multiple starts or finishes. Use the CC737 Timer with the 10 Lane Multilane and Select Timing accessories so that it can be used for a variety of timing situations by creative use of it's 10 channels, large memory, data output, and printed results. Each of the ten timing channels can be used for timing different categories (i. e. men and women runners or different classes). See Select Timing. All Chronomix Displays are also timers and in addition to displaying the running time can be used to capture the finish times for races. With the CC720A printer the times can be printed as they occur. The CC7354 with 4 inch digits, the CC3156 with 6 inch digits or the CC3159 with 9 inch digits are all good choices for this application. If more than 10 hours are involved, displays with 6 digits should be chosen such as the CC7364 with 4 inch digits, the CC3166 with 6 inch digits or the CC3169 with 9 inch digits. For small club events you might consider a 4" display and portable printer actuated by a step pad so that everyone can run but the results will be printed. See Step Pads, Accuracy Requirements and Selecting a Display.
Large endurance events can be timed with equipment systems similar to Marathons. Events going over 8 hours will require extra power supplies when a large display is used. The battery life of the CC737 depends largely on the amount of printing that is done. While the unit will time for 24 hours and then print 2000 times, it will be prudent to supply power either from a 110 circuit or automobile battery for long events. (See Accuracy Requirements"). Many endurance events may be characterized by smaller spectator groups and a smaller Display will suffice. The CC7364 Timing Display has a viewing distance that is adequate for smaller groups. It has all of the features found in the larger CC3000 Series Displays. See Selecting a Display.
Marathons require a system to capture a large number of times, usually to enter them into a computer. The CC737 is particularly well suited for Marathons due to it's large memory and ability to hold the information in memory for later downloading. Both the Select Timing Keypad (see More about Select Timing) and MultiLane accessories (see More about MultiLane Accessories) can assist greatly in matching times to runners. For very large races several timers can be employed with each timer connected to a computer and all the computers reporting to a central computer to assemble the final reports.
Use the CC7354 MasterTime displays as milepoint clocks. They are economical, dependable and come equipped with the IR remote which makes it possible to set the race time from a passing car. Pace clocks add interest to the race as competitors can see their "time per mile" as they pass a mile point. All Chronomix displays are capable of showing pace. The pace function shows the average time per mile (or Kilometer) as runners pass the clock. When an operator is present the display can be switched back and forth to show both pace and race time. See Selecting a Display.
For cross country running, skiing and bicycling use the CC737 Compusport Printing Timer to capture and print the times for downhill or cross country races. The data output port allows you to download the times to a computer for sorting and specialized reporting. The three built in timing channels can be used for separating classes of runners. A more complete set will include the Select Timing Keypad so that competitor numbers can be attached to the recorded times. Finally, a display such as the CC7354 or CC3156 can be connected to the Timer to show the running time. See Accuracy Requirements and Selecting a Display. See the CC737 below. The CC7354 MasterTime Display or the CC3166, can also be used for displaying the running time, taking times to .01 second for later review, or printing times with the CC720A Portable Printer. Chronomix Displays can be set to sound a signal at intervals such as 1 minute for starting racers.
The CC737 Timer is the basic unit required for Triathlons and Biathlons. The selection of companion equipment depends on the locations of the starts and finishes of the events. If the start and finish lines are close together a single CC737 can be used to cover all three parts of the race with the three built in timing channels. If the starts and finish lines are far apart, the CC737 may be used at the start and then carried to the finish for collecting the finish times of all contestants. (See Accuracy Requirements). The times at the intermediate points will likely overlap so much that a single unit cannot be at several places at one time. If that is the case the intermediate times may be captured with a second timer or a display at each location. If times are to be recorded for competitors at the end of each part of the event (i. e. the swim and bike portions of a triathlon), the multiple timing channels of the CC737 Timer can be utilized to record the place and cumulative time for each portion of the event (one channel per segment). Note that the CC737 will not subtract transition times, and that all finishes recorded by the CC737 in the CC mode are cumulative times. As a result, only the first segment of a multi-sport event will have an accurate finish time for that specific portion of the event. (See Accuracy Requirements and Equipment Choice). Displays can also be used effectively for the intermediate sections of the race. Competitors appreciate seeing the running time and times can be generated by the Display and printed on the CC720A portable printer. The addition of a CC3166 or CC3186P display will considerably enhance the excitement of the race. See Selecting a Display.
Use the CC737 Compusport Printing Timer to capture and print the times for cross country races. The data output port allows you to download the times to a computer for sorting and specialized reporting. The three built in timing channels can be used for separating classes of skiers. A more complete set will include the Select Timing Keypad so that competitor numbers can be attached to the recorded times. Finally, a display such as the CC7354 or CC3156 can be connected to the Timer to show the running time. See Accuracy Requirements and Selecting a Display. See the CC737 below. The CC7354 MasterTime Display or the CC3166, can also be used for displaying the running time, taking times to .01 second for later review, or printing times with the CC720A Portable Printer.
Use Interval Timers to control any sequence of repeated activities. Count up or down through an extensive sequence of steps or repeat the same action up to 99 times. Programming is easy yet a wide range of programmed steps can be used. The visible count down improves discipline by encouraging people to complete the full time assigned to each activity. Keypads are available for general use which will limit access so that programs and configuration can not be changed. This is a standard Circuit Interval Timer and can be used for many other training purposes. For large groups or outdoor installations use the larger displays model CC3000 or CC7300. All Chronomix Displays can be programmed as interval timers.

Model CC737 Compusport Printing Timer with the Multilane Cable times up to 10 lanes of swimmers. A starting gun and electronic start assure an accurate start. Finish times are taken with manual timing cords positioned at the end of each lane. The multilane cable can be purchased for any number of lanes from 1 to 10. Times can be downloaded to a computer as they are taken.
The CC7344B unit is used to time periods for water polo. The horn is loud enough to penetrate the sometimes noisy conditions in an indoor swimming pool. It is also a good countdown timer for pace training and endurance swimming.
The Model CC3186S Scoreboard is used for any two team sport. It is a generic scoreboard showing the game time and two scores and is appropriate for facilities which are used for a variety of sports. It can be used indoors and outdoors to time many different sports.
The time allowed for lifts in weight lifting competitions can be timed with a 4 digit display (CC3149, CC3146, CC7344). The allowed time can be preset in the display so that it will repeat each time the start is pressed.

Use Interval Timers to time practice sessions or matches. Easily program a count down series of action and rest periods, differentiating between action and rest with different horn signals. For example, set the timer for a 3 minute action time followed by a 30 second rest period, repeated 3 times. Each time the start button is pressed the timer will repeat the same 10 and one half minute program. The IR remote is powerful enough to start the timer from across a wrestling mat (40 feet). This is a standard Circuit Interval Timer and can be used for many other training purposes.
Also check scoreboards for portable, battery operated units which will score and time two teams.
