2 Timing System Setup
Daktronics aquatics timing system setup will be unique to each pool. This manual
describes a typical pool setting. Generally it is recommended that 2-3 people assist in the
setup for a meet. Allow 2-3 hours to complete the timing system setup for the rst time.
Equipment Overview
The information in this section is general information only and may or may not apply to
every pool setting.
• Touchpads
• Relay Take-Off Platforms (RTOPs)
• Deck cabling with lane modules and lane extension cable
• Horn start with start cable
• OmniSport 2000 console, power pack, and swimming keypad insert
• Meet management computer and software with serial cable
Touchpad Installation
Before the meet, install the touchpads in the pool
(Figure 2). With one person on each end of the
touchpad, carefully lower the touchpad into the pool.
Center the touchpad in the lane. Secure the supplied
adjustable bracket to the pool gutter. If the pool does
not have a gutter, secure the touchpad by running a
cord through the holes on top of the touchpad and
tying it to the starting block.
Connect the touchpads to the lane modules or deck
plates. Read and follow instructions in Deck Cabling &
Lane Modules (p.5) before plugging the touchpads
into the deck cabling.

a mat to prevent accidents. Figure 3 illustrates
an important detail to always remember when
plugging dual banana connectors. The GND
(ground) tab on the plug must line up with the
black female jack for the timing system to
work� Remember this when connecting all dual
banana plugs.
