1 Device Description
The ALGE-TIMING Timy3 is a handy device, equipped with high-quality technology.
In spite of the handy dimensions, the Timy3 provides a large and easy-to-use silicone keypad.
The model Timy3 WP has an integrated printer that records the entire competition.
The Timy3 is also equipped with the necessary interfaces for communication with external devices: interface for display boards, RS232 interface for communication with a computer, RS485 interface to establish a network of timing devices and future-proof USB interface.
The memory of the Timy3 can store up to 30,000 times which can be shown on the display or transmitted to a computer by RS232 or USB interface at any time.
The integrated radio modem WTN allows linking the Timy3 via radio with all devices of the WTN series.
For operating the Timy3 with the internal radio module please also refer to the manual WTN.
1.1 Timy3 Models
Both Timy3 models are equipped with a temperature compensated quartz-oscillator and therefore suited for highest accuracy. The extended temperature range allows operating the Timy3 from +50°C until -20°C (for summer and winter sports).
Timy3 W:
Timy3 W is a timing device without printer.
Timy3 WP (Design2):
Timy3 WP is a timing device with integrated printer.

3 Track + Field Program
The Track + Field program has 3 sub-programs:
•
WINDSPEED
Only used to measure wind in running and infield competitions.
•
TRACK TIMER
Only a short description here, see the separate instructions for Timy TRACKTIMER
•
FIELD EVENT
Used to measure wind, display the concentration time, wind speed and display the distance. For technical disciplines only!
3.1 Windspeed
This program is used for pure wind measurement
(e.g. for running competitions). If the Timy is connected to the WS2 anemometer and the OPTIc3 photo finish system, the wind measurement takes place automatically (controlled by the OPTIc3).
Various information is displayed on the Timy.
The measured windspeed (1) is displayed in the middle on the left. If a measurement is carried out, the measurement time is displayed instead of the windspeed.
There are 4 different types of measurements that are shown in the lower line (2) and operated with the keys F0 – F3.
The five-digit number on the right (3) indicates how many measurements the WS2 has sent to the TIMY.
F0 NORM
It continuously measures the wind speed. This mode can be switched on before the race or during breaks. By default, the continuous wind measurement is not shown on the display board. If you want this display show it use the menu and go the “FIELD EVENT -
WS NORM MODE”
F1 10
The wind is measured for 10 seconds and this mode is used for all sprint races from 75 m to 100 m (except for 100 m hurdles and 110 m hurdles).
F2 13
The wind is measured for 10 seconds and this mode is used for 100 m hurdles and 110 m hurdles.
F3 5
The wind is measured for 5 seconds and this mode is used for all sprint races under 75 m and as well for long and 3-jump competitions. If the Windspeed WS2-system is connected to the ALGE photo-finish system OPTIc the measurement is automatically started from the photofinish system and the wind data will be transmitted to the photo finish system.

Manual
Timy3 - General
Display Board:
We recommend to use a 3-digit D-LINE display board to show the wind. In case of a anemometer with radio connection (WTN) the anemometer and WTN-WS is supplied direct from the display board.
The duration of the windspeed shown on the display board can be regulated in the menu “DIS-
PLAY“ and then “TAG TIME “. A detailed explanation is given in the “General Operating Instructions of the Timy”.
The display board needs the following settings for 3-digit D-LINE:
Brightness
Set the brightness you need (1 = low brightness, 9 = high brightness)
Display Mode and Interface t = format = ss.z
2 = Protocol = 2400 Baud, no parity bit, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit,
Time-Out for Time, Date and Temperature
If you set to 00 it will show only the wind data and no time of day
Address Setting
No address is necessary, therefore use address 00.
For use in athletics, 3-digit displays can be used that show the concentration time, then the wind and finally the width one after the other in the "Field Event" program. If the display is used universally in athletics, or if several such display boards are used, we recommend the following setting in the extended data mode. The display board can then be used for both, the
“Windspeed” and “Field-Event” programs, without changing the settings.

3.2 Tracktimer
Simple program for hand timing in training or competitions.
You can enter the start number (run number) (1). The running time is displayed in field (2), while the intermediate times are displayed in field 3. You can enter the running distance by pressing the <F0> key and the gender with F5.
The external channels can be used for time measurement
(e.g. C0) or the buttons and .

3.3 Field-Event
After selecting the FIELD-EVENT program, the functions listed below are available for selection.
1. Windspeed
2. ID-Number, Attempt, Width
3. Adjusted Countdown Time
4. Countdown Time in selected (in use)
5. Status of Windspeed
Depending on the display boards used, all data can be shown on the display. In most cases, however, only the concentration time and wind speed are displayed.
• The ID-number position flashes (2).
• Enter a start number with up to 4 digits and confirm with the red OK button.
• Enter the number of attempts and confirm with the red OK button.
• Use the F0-F2 keys to select the current countdown time (concentration clock).
• The countdown time is started with the green start key.
• When the athlete starts his attempt, you have to start the wind measurement with the
F3 key.
• The wind is automatically displayed after a measurement time of 5 seconds.
• The width field flashes. Enter the distance or height of the athlete and confirm with the red OK button.
3.3.1 Display Board:
Different display boards can be used. Depending on the type and what is to be displayed, each display board must be set differently.
Anzeigetafel für Wind und Konzentrationsuhr:
For use in “Field-Events” display boards with 3 or 4-digits can be used. They can show the concentration time, then the wind and the distance (for the width 4-digit display boards are needed).
