Timing System Setup
10
The only cable on the pool deck will be the ones that connect a piece of equipment like
a horn start, timing console, touchpad, etc. to a connection plate on a J-box. J-boxes
mounted in the deck are commonly referred to as deck boxes. J-boxes mounted in or on
the wall are referred to as wall boxes. Conduits contain the cable runs between J-boxes.
Individual Lane Deck Plate
The individual lane deck plate (Figure 15) has six
sets of connection jacks.
• The touchpad will plug into the dual banana
jack labeled TP.
• Buttons 1-3 will plug into the banana jacks
labeled B1, B2, and B3.
• The RTOP will plug in the jack labeled B3. If the
system has three push buttons, piggy-back the
RTOP connector onto B3 connector.
• The SPEAKER connector is for a 45 ohm
individual lane speaker. Do not substitute any
other type of speaker without consulting Daktronics.
• The START connector is used to plug in a remote strobe. In some cases, if a system
does not have an independent start location deck plate, the horn start will be
connected to the nearest individual lane deck plate. This will provide for the start and
lane speaker connections, but not the Aux (Backstroke) speaker connection.
Start Location Deck Plate
The start location deck plate (Figure 16) is used
for both the horn start location and the Aux
(Backstroke) speaker location.
Plug the cable from the horn start jack labeled
START to the mating jack on the deck plate
labeled START. Plug the cable from the horn start
jack labeled AUX SPEAKER to the mating jack on
the deck plate labeled AUX SPEAKERS. Do the
same for the jacks labeled LANE SPEAKERS. Most
facilities will have one of these plates on both
sides of the pool.
If there is a second plate on the other side of the
pool, connect a Daktronics auxiliary speaker to
the jack labeled AUX SPEAKERS. If using a remote
strobe for the opposite side of the pool, plug it into
the jack labeled START.
