Finally, affordable timing gear that's fun to use!

RACETIME-2 HANDHELD TIMER

One of Microgate's biggest sellers is the RACETIME 2 handheld timer. Thanks to its small size, anatomic shape and intuitive menu-driven interface, learning how to use the device takes only a few minutes, yet the plethora of onboard programs and functionality of the device allow for a remarkable degree of flexibility.

Because of its small size and power, the RACETIME 2 is ideal for training, where rapid setup and dismantling is important. This timer is what we recommend for use with our various self-contained Training Packs.

RACETIME 2 FEATURES
Simplicity of use:
Even a single athlete can time a training session completely automatically. All times are recorded, stored and printed without any manual intervention. The wide range of programs available, the ability to immediately print start lists and the rankings at the finish (on the detachable printer) and the ability to interface with PC's and scoreboards, make this device much more than your average portable timer!

Keyboard:
Oversize keys ensure that the timer’s functions can be accessed with maximum ease, even when wearing gloves.

Wireless connectivity:
In combination with the LinkGate system, Racetime2 is able to receive coded Start, Intermediate and Finish impulses via radio with maximum reliability, freeing the operator from the need to be connected via cable with the photocell at the finish.

Reliability:
The timer’s reliability, even in extreme weather conditions, is guaranteed by the broad operating temperature range and by ‘smart’ recharge management.
The onboard batteries guarantee autonomy of over 12 hours, even at very low temperatures.
