Mobile Timing MT1 

 

 

- 5 - 

Introduction 

 
MT1 is a highly precise timing device which is automatically synchronized to the time of day 
using built-in GPS. It has two timing channels with 1/100,000 s resolution. The timing pulses 
are automatically sent to the internet, so the results are live there. As a result, impulse cables 
are no longer necessary, which is particularly advantageous for long distances. Automatic 
backup to the internet makes a log paper printer obsolete. If necessary, the start number can 
be entered in backup or memo mode. The MT1 has a built-in Li-Ion battery and is charged via 
a USB C socket. 

Device description 

 

Power on: 
Press the ON button, then confirm with the ENTER button. That made to prevent from switch-
ing the device on unintentionally. If you only press on, the device will show its name (ID). 
 
Power off: 
Press the OFF button for 3 seconds. The MT1 will ask for confirmation. Release the OFF but-
ton and press it again to confirm. You can abort this with the ESC or any other button. 

2.1 

Display 

The OLED display of the MT1 has a resolution of 128x64. The display is switched off after 5 
minutes idling. The display is reactivated by any button or timing impulse. 

2.1.1  Status bar 

When the device is switched on, it will show the main menu. This main menu has a status bar 
on the top with some icons on it. Left Icon is the 

GPS status

. Next icon from the left is the 

UMTS signal strength. After power on, this icon is blinking. That means the MT1 is searching 
for a mobile operator. If the MT1 finds a mobile operator, it stops blinking and shows the signal 
strength of the mobile network. 
The third icon is the 

USB icon

. It is strikethrough if there is no USB data connection. Note: A 

power supply or power bank has no data connection. In this case, the icon will stay 
strikethrough.
