The Omega Electronics OCP5 touch pad consists of a high grade stainless steel frame that supports the individual and interlinked non slip, nonabrasive resilient polyvinyl chloride slats. The reliability and durability of the touch pad, which has been designed for sustained heavy duty use is unaffected by hard water and chemical corrosion. The contact strips and the surface are adjusted in such manner that any point on the touch pad reacts to the same force, between two and three kilograms. It is highly sensitive to local impact but does not react to an overall change in surface pressure; thus eliminating false impulses due to waves.
The horizontal contact strips are fixed within the touch pad and in this way give a timing signal when they close due to an applied pressure. Ultra long life is guaranteed with the integration of high quality materials and leading edge technology, making this product the reference for swimming timing equipment. Small repairs due to hard use can even be carried out by the client himself. This way, no touch pads need to be returned for repair. The OCP5 is available in four sizes that all feature the same top level of quality. To guarantee this, all components are carefully selected and thoroughly tested before assembly. A specially designed storage and transport trolley is available as a recommended option and can accommodate up to ten full height OCP5 touch pads. All these advanced features guarantee accurate results with no compromise.

Advantage of electronic equipment
Nowadays, it is impossible to imagine timekeeping or data handling (storing) without electronical equipment. As you probably know, most of the disciplines need time results as accurated as 1/100 or even 1/1000sec. Omega Electronics provides a specific product for aquatic sports which is the "ARES 21 Aquatics". - This electronic device elaborated with advanced technical knowledge allows you to save time and is definitely an absolute precision time base. All the pool information are centralized in one single system. Computing of times, variations, ranklists and results display on the scoreboard are instantaneous. All these points tell us that it's the best way to manage an aquatic event because it's the fastest way to obtain precise results and is moreover quite easy to use. Our software package covers all aquatic disciplines. Every software is built according to the FINA rules. A variety of OE scoreboards may be driven directly by the ARES interface. These includes single or multi-line numeric boards plus full matrix devices.

Security around the pool
Obviously, it's really dangerous to deal with high voltage around the pool unless it’s anyway strictly forbidden. Our whole installation works with low voltage that makes ARES21 an autonomous system. It has his own power supply, and it perfectly works together with a laptop computer. ARES21 is particularly interesting for swimming pools which aren't equipped with a specific and separated timekeeping control room. You may organize an improvised control room close to the water.

 

Starting block with an integrated detection system releasing an impulse when the swimmer leaves the block. At relay events it allows to record on the ARES21 the negative or positive gaps between two relays. The block is built in stainless steel. Top surface is 60 x 50 cm.

This compact and reliable acoustic start system has an integrated flash and loudspeaker. An additional external flash can be connected to a 12V output. It allows the race to start without the microphone by simply pressing the green ready button. The StartTime II includes useful features such as extra front charger plug, ORA3 sound sampling, bang simulation and 3 beeps on false start.

Electromagnetic two digit display for the countdown of the 35 seconds. As soon as 0 time is reached an acoustic signal is emitted from the integrated powerful horn (104dB). 23 cm digits allows both players and spectators ample viewing distance.
