ENGLISH
The 2 long sounds allow the hits of the 2 competitors to be
distinguished. The brief sound is useful for signalling hits
in rapid succession during training.
FOIL AND EPEE HIT RECORDERS
Select the kind of weapon and sound with the SELECT
and SOUND buttons as indicated in the above
paragraphs.
Connect FTT-1 to the 3-pin plug of the body cord.
FTT-1 signals that the tip of the weapon has been pressed
in any moment, even if this occurs on non-valid targets.
The contact time of the tip is compliant with FIE
standards, both for the foil as well as the epee.
It is ideal for training because it makes reels, pistes, wires
and signalling units superfluous.
TESTER
Select the operating function TESTER with the SELECT
button, as indicated above.
The 4 lights are used in the following manner:
– The RED light indicates if there is a contact between the
central socket and the more distant socket.
– The GREEN light indicates if there is a contact between
the central socket and the closest socket.
– The two YELLOW lights light up for approximately 1
second at even minimum openings of the corresponding
circuit. Micro-interruptions of the circuits inferior to a
millisecond are thus signalled!
To reveal any possible lack of current, FTT-1 signals all
W
contacts with inferior resistance to 4-5K
.
In the various tests described below, once the exact state
of ignition of the RED and GREEN lights has been
controlled, move the cables and connectors to identify the
presence of uncertain contacts that will be signalled
audibly as well as by the ignition of YELLOW lights.
