Timing System Setup
3. Bolts on newer touchpads
require only one 7/16
wrench (Figure 4). Use two
7/16 wrenches to tighten
bolts on older touchpads
(Figure 5). Older systems
requiring two wrenches can
easily be updated to the new
hardware requiring only one
wrench. Call Daktronics to order the new hardware.
4. Connect the touchpads to the lane modules or deck plates. Read and follow
instructions in Section 2.3 before plugging the touchpads into the deck cabling.
5. A Daktronics touchpad is designed to fill with water to
aid in its stabilization. The touchpad seems to become a part
of the pool wall (Figure 6). If the pool wall has obstructions
or the gutter protrudes from the wall, use spacers (PVC
board may be cut in strips) to create a stable support for the
touchpad (Figure 7). Spacer size is determined by the height
and the extra depth required. Use stainless steel fasteners to
connect the touchpad to the spacers.
Note: Daktronics does not provide these spacers.
6. For more information on the care and maintenance of touchpads, refer
to Section 2.10
Do not allow swimmers to use paddles, fins or kick boards when
touchpads are in the pool.
Note: Always place cables and equipment in areas
of minimal traffic. Cover wires and cables with a mat
to prevent accidents. Figure 8 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.
