Device Description 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The 

ALGE

 WTN is a compact radio system for timing and is equipped with the  

most updated technology. A radio network consists of two or more devices  
of the WTN series. 

 

ALGE-TIMING

 offers the following devices of the WTN-Series: 

  WTN ......................... Universal Radio Network 

  Timy3 WP ................. Timing Device with built in Radio Network 

  PR1aW ..................... Photocell with built in Radio 

  WTN-DB ................... Radio Network for Display Boards 

  WTN-WS ................... Radio Network for Windspeed (Athletic) 

 

The network is designed  in such a way  that  you can transmit data to a display board (e.g. 
ALGE GAZ or D-LINE), serial RS232 data (e.g. to a PC), RS485 data, and timing impulses at 
the same time (e.g. photocell PR1aW). 

 

The WTN-DB is specially designed as data-radio for display boards. It receives the data sent 
from a timing device and feeds a display board. 

 

When designing the Wireless Timing Network the 

ALGE 

development team concentrated on 

features that make 

ALGE

 devices unique, but also on features that stand for 

ALGE

 products: 

easy operation, highest reliability, rugged casing. Up-to-date technology, integrated in a solid 
case, results in exceptional features. 

 

Attention:

  Before using the device make sure that you are allowed to operate it in your 

country. The radio power output must be adjusted so that it is legal to use it in the country 
you operate it in.  

EU:  

max. 10 mW is allowed 

USA:  

max. 100 mW is allowed
