Description
The ALGE WTN (Wireless Timing Network) is a compact radio system for timing and is equipped with the most updated 2.4 GHz wireless technology. An ALGE network consists of two or more devices of the WTN series.
The network is designed in such a way that you can simultaneously transmit data to a display board (e.g. ALGE GAZ or D-LINE), serial RS232 data (e.g. to a PC), RS485 data, and timing impulses (e.g. photocell PR1aW).
The device’s built-in repeater function allows you to daisy chain any number of WTN components to achieve long-range impulse and data transmission.
The ALGE WTN module allows you to retrofit any older ALGE device to function within a wireless network. The multifunction device is ideally suited to any of the following applications:
- Impulse transmission (perfect for equestrian, ski training, etc.).
- Training in a local environment (arenas, stadiums).
- Controlling a remote display board (GAZ or D-LINE).
- Sending data to a PC.
