Designed to fit into a small lumbar pack, the Brower Test Centre is a wireless timing device that enables athletes and coaches to measure time, speed, count repetitions, input test data and save it all in the TC-Timer USB memory. This data can then be exported to your computer, where athletes can be reviewed individually, by group and the ranking for each test can be displayed. 

A lightweight and highly portable wireless timing system for use indoors and outdoors; comes complete as a testing kit with a USB download feature which integrates with a neat software package. Athletes can be assigned an ID and up to 9 test protocols can be identified; this data can then be exported and comparisons of individuals, groups and test-by-test ranking established.

Offered as a ‘kit' (Item Code: BRO012), that includes:

• ‘TC-Timer USB' which retains all the functions of the ‘TC-Timer' and adds the ability to download the timer data to a computer.
• ‘TC-Results Centre Software': where data can be manipulated and organized to provide informative profiles displaying all the test results for the athlete(s).
• ‘TC-Start Pod & Touch Pad' providing highly accurate start and measure protocols.
• ‘TC-PhotoGates A & B' (beam transmitter and reflector) & 2 x Telescopic Tripods for mounting PhotoGates
• Lumbar Bag provides a resilient carrying system with impact resistant storage for components.

Measuring sprint performance, particularly for court & pitch based direction-change sports, is a valuable tool for providing athletes with accurate feedback of their performance. Winning the ‘first-step', accelerating rapidly over five yards and direction change efficiency are all hallmarks of athletic performance.

The Brower Test Centre provides a cost effective means of delivering highly accurate measuring and monitoring of athletes, with the flexibility to upgrade to additional gates and provide more measuring intervals. Your only limit when testing is your imagination, with a thorough review of the characteristic movements associated with your sport, coupled with the typical distances travelled at high speed; this system provides a motivating means of developing a battery of highly specific tests and the software capability to rank and relay results to your athletes.

Additional Items

This system can be added to via the purchase of additional PhotoGates, with up to 9 splits (nine sets of gates), in a sequence of testing. The frequency of the TC-Timer can be adjusted, enabling up to four timers to be operated without interference and creating a maximum of 4 x 9 Intervals to be set up.

The system also facilitates:-

• BRO007 Brower TC-PhotoGate: An extra gate which can start, stop or split the time.
• BRO006 Brower Tripod: Lightweight, telescopic tripods for mounting PhotoGates.
• BRO003 Brower Footwand: An alternative starting device to the Touch Pad, providing a more accurate standing sprint start.

• BRO___ Brower Microphone: This triggers a transmission upon a loud noise being made, such as a starting gun.

• BRO013 Brower TC Track Display: Wireless high visibility display which can be seen by athletes from approximately 30metres.
