Edition February 2011

Caution and safety precautions

 Never use any other charger than the supplied or a type approved by Swiss Timing. This could destroy the battery, cause damage to unit, and possible cause personal injury due to fire or/and electrical shock.

 Never bypass a power cord ground lead by breaking off the ground pin, or by using inappropriate extension cords or adapters.

 Never plug a power cord into the AC power source until you have made sure that all installation, cabling and power levels, are proper, and that the applicable procedures in this manual have been followed.

 Protect the equipment against splashing, rain and excessive sun rays.

 Never use the device if it is damaged or insecure.

 Verify the selection of the power distribution.

 Verify that the voltage quoted on the rating plate is the same as your voltage. Connect the appliance only to power sockets with protective earth. The use of incorrect connection voids warranty.

 This program may be modified at any time without prior notification.

 Do not open the case; there is nothing that needs servicing inside it. Nevertheless, if the case must be opened, you must call for some qualified personnel. The power supply cable must be disconnected before opening the case.

 During the transport of all Swiss Timing equipment delivered with a reusable carry case, the said case should be used at all times. This is imperative to limit the damage, such as shocks or vibration that can be caused to the units during transport.

 The same cases should also be used when returning equipment to Swiss Timing for repair. Swiss

Timing reserves the right to refuse all guarantees if this condition is not fulfilled.

 If the installation includes a horn, be sure to maintain a sufficient security distance from the public.

1 INTRODUCTION

The touchpad OCP5 (see chapter 6 APPENDIX) is composed of a number of narrow PVC profiles (4), the edges of which slide into each other and which are enclosed by a stainless steel frame (5). On the rear of the touchpad, two or three tape switches (12) are sandwiched between the PVC profiles (types 190x90 and 240x90) (4) or steel channels

(10) and (14).

Any pressure applied by a swimmer reaching the arrival wall causes the closure of tape switch contacts which is instantaneously recorded by the timing system.

3 MOUNTING THE OCP5 TOUCHPAD

3.1 Suspension of gutter wall (60cm Touchpad)

Adjust angle brackets (E) according to thickness of gutter wall and tighten special nut (G).

Figure 1 - Touchpad 60cm / Gutter mounting

Install angle brackets (18) and pull them so that the touchpad lies flat against the wall of

the pool.

Holes dimensions: Ø6mm x 45mm

See pages 4 and 5.

Figure 2 - Touchpad 90cm / Mounting

The touchpad must be screwed on so that the touchpad lies flat against the wall of the pool.

Holes dimensions: Ø6mm x 45mm

See pages 6 and 7.

4.1 Test, preparation and timing

Figure 7 - Touchpad 60cm / Test

60cm

Figure 8 - Touchpad 90cm / Test

4.1.1 Check without pressure applied

 Connect the buzzer (23) to cable (3).

 The buzzer should produce no sound if no pressure is applied upon the touchpad.

A continuous sounding of the buzzer can have one of the following causes:

 Compression of a contact strip due to a convex pool wall.

 Tape switch guiding channel (14) or contact strip (12) bent.

 Top angle bar (10) bent.

 Foreign body between PVC profile (4) and contact strip assembly (10) (12) or (14) (12).

 PVC profiles (4) disjoined.

 If an external cause cannot be found, repair the touchpad as explained in section 5.2.

Page 8

150x60 / 190x90 / 200x60 / 240x90 FINA / TOUCHPAD OCP5

4.1.2 Sensitivity test with pressure applied

 Connect buzzer (23) to cable (3) as per 4.1.

 Measure the power required to produce a buzzing sound when applying pressure with the dynamometer (24) at water level and underneath (the dynamometer must be placed in the middle of a profile (4)).

 Sensibility range: 1,5 to 3,5 kp.

 There can be different reasons for the insensibility of a touchpad:

 The contact strip does not make any contact because its electric cable is broken or the (3) soldered joint is damaged.

 The contact strip (12) or the tape switch guiding channel (14) or the top angle bar (10) is bent.

 The contact strip is internal damaged.

Roughness between two contact strips (12) and the PVC profile (4) cannot close the contact(s) anymore.

 In this case:

 Remove roughness…

 Or move the touchpad horizontally or vertically (if possible).

Figure 9 - Contact / Sensibility

If you cannot find any external causes, repair touchpad as per paragraph 5.2.

Note: it is possible to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad

through a special mounting of the contact strips.

Standard mounting

Nevertheless we recommend the standard mounting.

The sensitivity can be reduced per zone, if only one contact strip is placed with the special mounting.

4.1.3 Operational test with timing installation

 Connect the touchpad with cable (3) to the timing installation.

 Simulate arrivals by touching the pads.

 If the timing devices do not receive any impulses, follow instruction in paragraph 5.2 or user's manual of timing devices.

5 MAINTENANCE

5.1 Handling

5.1.1 Drying

 Take the touchpad out of the water.

 Rinse with clean water.

 Put it into a standing position and allow to trickle off as per Figure 11.

 Wipe with a cloth.

Do not leave the touchpads unused in the water. The drying time must be longer than the time in the water, so that the absorbed water can trickle off

.

5.1.2 Storage

 Provide an arrangement to store the touchpads or get in contact with Swiss Timing Ltd to order a red trolley (Article No. 2924.903).

 Trolley should be stored in a dry room and be protected from dust.

Figure 11 - Touchpads on trolley

ABSOLUTELY AVOID STORING THE PADS HORIZONTALLY

AND ONE ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.

THIS FAULTY STORAGE COULD DAMAGE THE CONTACT STRIPS.

Version 2.3 2924.510.02 Page 11

5.1.3 Cleaning of the contact system

Figure 12 - Maintenance / Contact cleaning I

 Pull the ends of bottom switch assembly (14) out of connection angles by lifting up and turn upside down.

5.2 Repair

Figure 13 - Maintenance / Contact cleaning I

 Remove plastic sheath (13) and the transparent polyester brace (25).

Clean the dirty parts (sensitivity loss).

Change the elements if they are ripped up or too hard.

5.2.1 Test before repair work

 See also paragraph 4.

 Test the doubtful profile on another swim lane and control with the timing installation. It is possible that the coder or the cable is defect and not the touchpad.

 Does the test above confirm the damage o the touchpad, change the contact strip as follows:

 

Figure 14 - Maintenance / Contact test I

 Remove cap (2) and cut isolating tube.

Figure 15 - Maintenance / Contact test II

 Unsolder the wire leads of the two (or three) tape switches.

 Find the defective tape switch by means of the buzzer (23).

Page 12

150x60 / 190x90 / 200x60 / 240x90 FINA / TOUCHPAD OCP5

 Electronic measurement:

If the resistance is higher than 50



, the contact strip must be changed,

Closed contact because the electrodes are oxidized.

Open contact

If the resistance is in the range of 100 k



, the contact strip must be possibly changed, because an important amount of water could have penetrated, this can produce dirtiness between the contacts.
