Farmtek 40 Yard Dash Timer For Athlete Speed Training

Due to the configurable nature of this product, your order will ship directly from the manufacturer and may take longer to arrive than the estimated delivery date shown at checkout. Most orders are delivered in approximately 1 week.

Our speed training timer is a great tool for obtaining accurate and consistent times for common football drills like the 40 yard dash, pro agility shuttle, and the three-cone drill. It is also useful for timing speed drills for baseball, hockey, track and other sporting events. The electronic timer eliminates the human error and bias that so often result in times that don't accurately reflect the athlete's actual ability or progress. No cabling or power connections required. Hands-free timing eliminates human error and bias. The timer can start when the start line beam is broken (runner starts behind the beam), or when the start line beam is restored (runner starts in the beam). With additional electric eyes, up to two split times (e.g. 10 yard and 20 yard) can be timed. The timer also supports manual start with an electric eye finish and vice-versa. When hand starting the timer, the unused start-line electric eye can be used as a split time eye. The optional wireless hand switch can be used to manually start or stop the timer, or to control arming of the timer to give the coach more control over timer activity in crowded situations. Events like the pro agility shuttle and three cone drill are automatically timed – including the process of ignoring intermediate beam breaks. Set up and tear down in just minutes. All equipment shown, including tripods, fits inside a custom made carrying case. Spectator displays and a computer interface cable are available separately.

Question: Are the digits for the scoreboard red as shown in the pictures?

Answer: Yes, the scoreboard display uses red LEDs.

Question: Does the scoreboard count continuously while the dash is occurring?

Answer: Yes, the scoreboard counts in real time while the run is occurring. If split time sensors are used, the scoreboard will pause with the split time for an amount of time you can specify (e.g., 3 seconds).

Question: What is the battery life like for the beam projectors and receivers?

Answer: The electric eyes run 70-80 hours from a standard 9v battery. The timing console runs 50-60 hours from AA batteries.
