Emit Time Recorder 3, ETR3, is a compact easy-to-use timer with the six most used programs from RTR2 built-in: program 10 (times only), program 20 (start numbers and times), program 60 (cross-country with external units), program 90 (mass -arrangements) , program 130 (EPT, e-cards) and program 131 (EPT, e-cards and barcodes). In addition it is possible to transfer data from the last event by choosing program 999.
Memory ETR3 stores the last 2.040 e-cards in its internal memory, using program 130 and 131. When using the other programs, ETR3 stores up to 50.000 pairs of startno./times. The first data stored is overwritten when the internal memory is full. ETR3 makes a pointer to a new event when started by pressing 'Clear/ON' Turning on ETR3: Turn on ETR3 by pressing the Clear/ON-key and holding it down for 3 seconds. The battery level is shown in the upper display for a few seconds.
This program uses Emits electronic punching- and timetaking-system for orienteering. The finish-time is automatically taken when punching at the last control. All split-times and punching-receipts are read directly on ETR3 by placing the e-card on the designated field, marked by a thin red line, on top of ETR3's keyboard. Program 131 - Emit EPT electronic timetaking with barcodes. This program uses Emits electronic punching- and timetaking-system for orienteering, in addition to barcodes.
Start selected program with event time 0 If you want to start the ETR3 with event time 0; just press directly when the event time is 0. If the first start is at 11:00:00 ( and 11:00:00 is entered as the start time for the event in the result program) press exactly at 11:00:00. Setting the event time: Press A to set the event time. The lower display now shows "00000". ETR3 asks for the correct event time. The time is entered in minutes and seconds. The numbers of minutes range from 0 to 999.
Exit the selected program. Must be confirmed by pressing 9. The ETR3 returns to the main menu, and is ready for another program. Run mode The timetaking-button is pressed once each time a runner passes the finish line. The finish-time is printed in minutes, seconds and 1/100 second. Every time is also numbered, starting from 1. This makes it possible to tell how many runners that have passed the finish line.
Mounting The timetaking-button is connected to input 'C' on ETR3, and the printer-cable is connected to input 'B'. If using a PC, connect the USB-cable to input 'D' on ETR3, and the other end to a vacant USB-port on the PC. Clock menu After choosing the correct program, ETR3 enters the clock menu, and the upper display shows "CLC".
When started the ETR3 shows the running event time in the upper display, and the lower display shows "Sno" (start number). The running event time is always displayed in the upper display, as long as there are no "loose" (unpaired) times or start numbers registered. If a time is taken by the timetaking button, the upper display will show "t1 S0" (meaning 1 time, 0 start numbers), until a start number is registered.
M 24 13:58.43 When all times and all start numbers have been registered, both the number of unpaired times and unpaired start numbers should be 0. Synchronizing (BUNT) Synchronizing is a way to split the event into smaller parts. This opens for the possibility to start on scratch in pairing times and starting numbers, in case the timetaker or the ETR3-operator have made a mistake.
The timetaking-button, the startgate and the photocell are connected to ETR3 via the external connection box. The printer-cable is connected to input 'B'. If using a PC, connect the USB-cable to input 'D' on ETR3, and the other end to a vacant USB-port on the PC. If you choose to use a photocell you must know about the limitations a photocell involves. If two competitors come closer than 0.35 seconds to each other they will be registered as one competitor.
the receiver-ETR3. The upper display still shows "CLC", while the lower display shows "r CLOC" (receive clock). Place the sender-ETR3 on top of the receiver-ETR3, until a long beep is heard. The ETR3's are now synchronized. The sender-ETR3 is still in sending-mode, while the receiver-ETR3 goes back to the clock menu. If there are more ETR3's to be synchronized; repeat the procedure above for the receiver-ETR3's. Press to go back to the clock menu on the sender-ETR3. Press to start the selected program.
Program 90. Timetaking in mass-arrangements General This program is specially made for mass-arrangements (exercise runs, mass crosscountry arrangements) where a certain number of competitors pass the finish line every minute. The time is not taken with a timetaking-button, but is read when the start number is registered. The drawback is that the time is registered after the competitor has passed the finish line.
11.00.00. If ETR3 should display time 000.00 at 11.00.00, and is started at 10.30, type 97000. Press exactly at 10.30.00. If you want to start ETR3 30 minutes after the event has started, enter 03000. Press exactly at 11:30:00. After pressing the ETR3 returns to the clock menu. Press again to start the selected program. Wireless transmission/reception of time (synchronization) It is possible to transfer date, time and event time from one ETR3 to another.
The barcode-reader “beeps”. The beep is clearly heard if you're using headphones. A red flash occurs once in the round window of the barcode-reader. The start number is shown in ETR3's lower display. When start number 1289 is registered the number 1289 will be shown at ETR3's lower display for a few seconds. The upper display shows the running event-time. The EPR3-printer prints: M 1289 32:16.
C: D: Wireless reception of time (synchronization) from another ETR3 Setting the internal date and time Start selected program with event time 0 Setting the date and time The correct date and "real" time must be set before entering the event time and starting the clock. Set correct date and time by pressing the D-key. The upper display shows ETR3's internal date (YYMMDD), and the lower display shows "000000". If you need to change the date; enter the correct date and confirm by pressing .
ETR3 is now ready for use. Function keys: The following function keys are available in run mode: A: Set/change the event time. Use this choice to change the event time while in run mode. Enter the new event time the same way as described earlier. Delete data. This choice deletes all registered data. Must be confirmed by pressing 9. Reprint x no. of registrations. Use this choice to reprint a number of registrations if a paper crash has occurred. The upper display shows "Ant" (number).
number with a barcode reader first, and then reading the e-card by placing it on top of the ETR3. If the barcode and/or e-card is impossible to read, it is possible to enter the information on ETR3's keyboard followed by This program reads all times and punching-receipts from the e-cards, and prints the time of reading. All information contained in the e-cards is transferred to the result-program running on the PC.
sender-ETR3. The upper display still shows "CLC", while the lower display shows "S CLOC" (send clock). The ETR3 beeps periodically while in sending mode. Press C on the receiver-ETR3. The upper display still shows "CLC", while the lower display shows "r CLOC" (receive clock). Place the sender-ETR3 on top of the receiver-ETR3, until a long beep is heard. The ETR3's are now synchronized. The sender-ETR3 is still in sending-mode, while the receiver-ETR3 goes back to the clock menu.
The e-card number is shown in the lower display for a few seconds The start number, e-card number and the time of reading are printed on the EPR3printer. If a runner has lost his/hers e-card, or the e-card is impossible to read, it is possible to enter the e-card number on ETR3's keyboard followed by . When e-card number 125589 has been registered, the e-card number will be shown in the lower display for a few seconds. The upper display continues to show the running event time.
Inserting new paper. Note that maximum roll-diameter for EPR-3 is 40 mm. The printer has a "clam-shell design" making it very easy to change paper. The paper roll is inserted into the compartment, and the end of the paper is extended outside the printer while closing the cover. Charging the battery The power-adapter will charge an empty battery full in approximately 4 to 5 hours. The adapter shows a steady red light when charging the printer. When fully charged it will change to a green light.
