Time Master 550
The Time Master TM550 chronometer, developed by ITS Chrono, delivers unmatched timing precision.
Building on decades of experience in top-level sports timekeeping and a long-standing collaboration with TAG Heuer, the ITS Chrono team has designed a new-generation chronometer integrating the latest technologies. The TM550 achieves exceptional accuracy down to 1/1,000,000 of a second, meeting the most demanding professional standards.
Fully aligned with the CP540 and CP545 Chronoprinters, the TM550 uses the same communication protocol, ensuring seamless compatibility with the entire TAG Heuer Timing ecosystem, including photocells, starting gates, Modulo panels, and more.
€1,700.00 tax excl.
Description
Both are easy to use - the functionalities and internal tree structure of the product are similar to the CP545 - and equipped with a time base guaranteeing reliable measurement at 1/1,000,000, the TM550 will ensure the timing of events at all levels, both global and local.
The benefits of the Time Master TM550 :
- Sensational precision : 1/1'000'000 second
- An integrated GPS module :
- satellite detection for automatic time setting
- control of the running accuracy (drift)
- possibility to link and synchronize TM550 and CP545 together
- Optimal timekeeping with its 4 inputs / outputs for external timing impulses
- 3 timing modes : "BASIC" to manage timing from the application or a PC, "TIMING" to manage 4 different time recordings configured on the 4 inputs and "SPEED" to calculate 4 different speeds configured on the 4 inputs
- A very comfortable internal memory : capacity of 500,000 times / 99 timing sessions
- Multiple communication modes for transferring frames : Bluetooth, RJ45, RS232 and USB
- 24 hours autonomy
- Includes a free Bluetooth application for easy connection to the ITS Online Timing and Bluetooth printer for example.
