The Polaris timer eliminates the AC power cable and supports our Wireless Scoreboard Interface! The Polaris is a full featured, multi-event timer for timing of barrel racing, pole bending, roping, team penning, bull riding, cutting, show jumping and more! The Polaris can also be used for a wide variety of non-equestrian events such as lap timing, autocross, drag/sprint racing, track and field events, speed training, dog agility trials and more! Wireless Convenience! Using the wireless Polaris means no more tangled cables, damaged connectors or cut cords. No more stringing and taping cables along the fence between the announcer's booth and the electric eyes, and no more hassles trying to tear the cable down after the event! The Polaris is now powered by four AA batteries instead of requiring AC power and an AC adapter. This makes setup easier when AC power is not available, but even when AC power is available, it means one less wire across an already crowded table, at least one less spot used on the power strip, and no more worries about power glitches during a run! The Polaris timer runs over 50 hours from four AA batteries – a couple of months of use for most of us! You can check the battery life remaining at any time. A low battery warning is issued when about 1 to 2 hours of battery life remain. The Polaris timer can transmit radio messages as well as receive them – the timer fully supports our Wireless Scoreboard Interface! Low battery warnings from the wireless electric eyes are automatically displayed on the Polaris timer console in the announcer's booth! For events that require a horn (bull riding, team penning, roping, etc.), the wireless Polaris includes a built-in PA Horn. The PA Horn is a direct connection between the Polaris timer and your PA system. The timer console contains a digitized recording of our Automatic Horn. The PA system performs as if a microphone is in front of our Automatic Horn – except there is no horn and there is no microphone! This feature eliminates the need to connect to an external horn and provides horn volume control via your PA system! If a PA system is not available, our portable Amplifier/Speaker Combo provides loud audio output in a compact package! Obtain Barrel Split Times for training! Using the Polaris timer with four sets of wireless electric eyes, you can split a barrel run into eight separately timed sections! The split times are downloaded directly into your computer for viewing and printing. Click here for more information. Full Featured Support of a Wide Variety of Events! The Polaris timer offers full featured support of a wide variety of Western and English riding events, Dog Agility Trials, as well as a numerous other non-equestrian timed events. Easy to Use! The Polaris includes a second display directly under the time display. This display provides the operator with status information and helpful prompts to make the timer simple to use. A convenient keypad allows simple, single button access to the Polaris' powerful features. Time is displayed on a high contrast LCD display with extra large 0.7 inch tall digits – easily readable even in direct sunlight. Different time formats are automatically selected for each different event (e.g., seconds to .001, seconds to .01, minutes and seconds, counting up, counting down, etc.). Of course, you can choose your own time format instead! Accurate time is maintained even while the timer is stopped. This allows resumption of timing after accidental interruptions. No more lost times! Alignment status of each electric eye is always present on the status display. Multiple previous times are saved along with penalty (if entered) and any event-specific information such as score, broken barrier, cattle number, lap number, jumping round, etc. The Polaris is fully compatible with all FarmTek printers and scoreboards (including the new wireless scoreboard interface) and easily connects to a computer.
