Synchronization
There are four different methods to synchronize the TBox.
After power up, all 4 inputs LEDs will flash yellow as long as the TBox is not synchronized.
a)
Sync at Zero.
•
This is the default synchro method. Once the TBox is switched ON, the first impulse
will sync the internal time at Zero
b)
GPS Sync
•
Only possible with models including GPS (TBox-2x)
•
To start the GPS Sync, ensure TBox is powered off, hold down the button “Input 1”
whilst powering ON the TBox
•
The sync will commence once the TBox receives sufficient GPS data
•
Once synchronized, the internal clock drift is constantly compensated by GPS signals
(as long as GPS coverage is maintain)
c)
External.
•
Not yet implemented.
d)
Sync via app
•
All synchro methods presented above can be controlled manually or automatically by
our Timing Applications
•
It is also possible to synchronize the TBox to a user define time of day, using one of
the 4 inputs

Bluetooth
A Bluetooth connection can be established with compatible FDS timing or setup Apps.
After power up, the TBox advertises its presence for 2 minutes. During this period the box
can be detected and connected by the user App. To re-establish detection after the 2 minute
period simply momentarily press the power button to reactivate the Bluetooth advertising
process.
