Controller
Three main components: Touch Panel Computer (TPC) Mesa, Connection
Mesa and the power brick . Beeper is located to the left of the TPC with
the WiFi Antennas.
Touch Panel Computer (TPC) Mesa
Main interface, top clear panel to easily check for SIM card and status
lights. Cellular antenna connects to the right side of the TPC mesa.
Controller Power Button
Located on the back side of the TPC mesa
Connection Mesa
Color coded for antenna connections. Contains 2 LAN connections, 2 USB
ports, the aux power connection and makes the main power connection
from the power brick.
Antenna Connections
BNC and color coded, not required to match colors but best for
troubleshooting
Aux Power and Ethernet Connections
Each controller has a 2 port Ethernet switch, uses standard network
cables. Auxiliary power connection for use with battery cable, supports
12-30V.
USB Connections
USB Ports are powered, however they do not support USB 2.0 – test
hardware before use for compatibility
AC connection on power brick
Located towards the back of the controller
Magnetic Lid Props
Prevents lid from being slammed on cables, provides ventilation
• Approximate weight: 16 lbs (with Batteries)
• Supports up to 14 ft timing lines per controller
• Communication via LAN
– Note: WiFi and Cellular available with add-on devices.
• Redundant Power: Operates on AC and Ryobi Drill
with seamless transfer
• Keypad interface.
• Does not require tuning, highly resistant to
interference

Approximate weight: 27/12 lbs for Full/Mini
Approximate length: 42/36” for Full/Mini
Modular line configurations: Up to 56’ lengths
Low profile, yet extremely rugged and durable
Easy to handle and pack
Can setup along side of the road and turn into
place for late road closures
• Strong enough to protect hardware and cables
even for large vehicles
Interrogator (Gator)
Handle located on back side of gator
• Durable/rugged with replaceable pigtail cables
• Pigtails can be used to route cables in either
direction in the gator
• Separate component from gator so that if
damaged you don’t have to replace both at
the same time
• High quality RF cable
• BNC for quick/easy setup
• Color coded and bundled in sets of 4
• CAUTION – Any changes or modifications to this
system without the express permission of
ChronoTrack Systems will void the user’s authority
to operate this equipment.
• As a professional installer you must:
– Use only ChronoTrack approved antennae
– Use only ChronoTrack approved cables
– Use only ChronoTrack approved accessories
• Read-zone: begins around two meters in front
of the line
• Reads tags repeatedly over a 5 second time
period
• Only reports a single time in the 5 second
window, when it “best” saw the tag
• Not collecting tags at the end of the race,
creating additional reads as finishers collect at
timing points to cheer on or wait for other
participants
• Unique lines within a close proximity of each
other require shielding from each other
• Instructional materials: flyers and videos
• ChonoTrack Timers Web Portal
• Manual and Guides

BoxScore – Point Configuration
On startup and accessible in the Configure menu
• Time sets go out to all controllers on the
wired/wireless network
• Can either set a new time or set the current
time
• Best to set the controllers to another source,
time resolution on controller display will be
less accurate
• Controllers should be left one once time is set
BoxScore – Time Management
Accessible via the System menu
BoxScore – Time Entry Screen
• Controller saves data to a single file from
power on to off
• Use thumb drives under 2 gigabytes (larger
USB drives take to long for the OS to index)
• Data is saved to a folder based on the current
point name with a file name based on the
power up time
BoxScore – File Copy
• Examples: Power loss, Time discrepancy,
Disconnected Hardware, Out of Date Software
• Tracks gun start times and marker times
• Must acknowledge errors

Networking Controllers at Timing Points
LAN Setup for PC and Controller
WiFi Setup for PC and Controller
Controller Setup for GPRS (Cellular) and
establishing a connection
- Basic Troubleshooting & Common Problems
- Open Q & A and setup help (if time allows)
- Primary and backup controllers are
recommended to be connected with a
network cable
- All reads collected with each line are shared
creating data redundancy and allows you to
only collect the data from one controller as
needed
- If needed, you can also sort the data back out
later using virtual points or scoring software
- IP address is properly set as alternate
configuration for the ChronoTrack network:
172.20.23.(2-99) for Local Area Connection
- Firewalls disabled or set to allow connections
through CCSLite or port 61610
- Confirmed that no other anti-virus software
has an active firewall
- CCSLite is active
- Cable is connected
- Standard Network cable, no need for a
crossover cable
- Distance limitation vary based on cable
quality, average limitation approximately 300
ft.

connection
- May need high gain antennas if used in areas
with poor coverage
- Only need one connected controller per point
- Can connect multiple controllers at a point for
backup

- Wrong Server Address set (possibly typos)
- 72.13.13.238 = ChronoTrack Cell Server
- 172.20.23.XX = LAN Connection
- 192.168.0.XX = WiFi Connection
- Component is not powered ON
- Faulty Hardware
- Broken Cable (clips commonly break)
- Inactive SIM card
- Confirm that the link lights are active on both
ends for LAN and WiFi
- Ping the appropriate IP address
- On your PC, pull up a command line and type in
“ping 172.20.23.100” (TPC LAN IP address) and
confirm a response
