Blinky Box Optical Isolator by TimingGuys Inc.

As used on our World Cup events at Kitzbuhel and Lake Louise; custom-designed by us and built to our exact specifications, made in USA

Protects your timing devices from static discharges, RF interference, and high impedance

Allows timers to permanently monitor and protect the status of all timing lines and sensors

Standard configurations include basic 2-channel module with “Channel Link” function, 6-module unit (12 timing channels), 12-module unit (24 timing channels)

Each 2-channel Blinky Box® opto-isolator module is configured as two separate but identical impulse isolator circuits with a unique bi-directional link by which an impulse from the A-side or the B-side of the circuit — whichever occurs first — can simultaneously fire all four outputs of the module.

The logic board is designed to operate on low voltage and current to conserve battery life (internal 9V batteries). The user-replaceable batteries are easily accessed by partially sliding the board out of its housing.

Power indicator LEDs, one for each channel, light steadily if power is adequate; they flash about once per second when battery power starts to get low (< 6 volts), and twice per second when the battery drops below 5 volts.
