Controller & Beam Timing System
This equestrian/course timing system was designed for use by a timer operator who would read and announce the times. You can also add large display units that automatically receive and display the times via radio signal from the controller. This system was designed for high portability and ease of use and setup in the arena or practice grounds.
Features:
- This system comes with Controller unit, Beam Transmitter & Receiver, and 50-feet of cable to connect the receiver and controller (cable can be up to 300' - contact us for pricing).
- Portable, take it anywhere for practice.
- The beam transmitter and receiver can be positioned anywhere from 3' to 200' apart.
- Easy to set-up and align with an indicator light on the receiver that shows when the beam is lined up.
- The Controller unit has a display that shows the times in thousandths of a second and shows the elapsing time throughout the competitor's run, then freezes at the elapsed time when the beam is broken on exit.
- The system automatically cycles, but can be reset by the operator if something unexpectedly breaks the beam signal. Normal cycle: The rider breaks the beam and the control unit starts displaying the time as it counts up, then when the rider exits at the end of the run the time will stop and the total time for the run will be displayed. The cycle will reset and start again when the next rider breaks the beam.
- By default the beam receiver unit will not react to a break in the beam that occurs within 3 seconds of the start of the cycle. This allow the horse's head, tail, reins, rider, etc. to clear the beam without causing it to stop the timer. This delay time can be changed by the operator as required.
- Runs on two 9-volt alkaline batteries, one in the controller and one in the beam transmitter.
- The beam transmitter and receiver can be mounted on standard camera tripods using the camera screw-mounts built into the units.
- The Controller unit comes equipped with a radio transmitter that can be used to send the times to one or more Remote Display Units (purchased separately or as part of an Add-On package below).
- Operating range of 10°F to 105°F.
- Tripods and batteries are not included.
This shows the Controller screen stopped at 24.898 seconds with indication that the beam is on and aligned correctly.

Large Display & Beam Timing System
This system was designed for ease of use and feedback for the riders/competitors. The system shows the elapsed time during the run on the large display, freezes the total time for the run when it's complete, then automatically re-cycles when a new rider starts their run.

- Large 4" digits that can easily be seen up to 75' away.
- The large display shows the elapsing time throughout the competitor's run, then freezes when the beam is broken on exit.
- The system automatically cycles: The rider breaks the beam and the control unit starts displaying the time as it counts up, then when the rider exits at the end of the run the time will stop and the total time for the run will be displayed. The cycle will reset and start again when the next rider breaks the beam.
- The beam receiver unit will not react to a break in the beam that occurs within 3 seconds of the start of the cycle. This allow the horse's head, tail, reins, rider, etc. to clear the beam without causing it to stop the timer.

PRO Timing System
The "PRO" system is identical to the Equestrian Display & Beam Timing System above, but comes with a six-digit display that shows times in the thousandths of a second (3 digits). It's designed to be used in competition situations where that extra accuracy can spell the difference between 1st and 2nd place.
This system comes with the 6-digit Display unit, Beam Transmitter & Receiver, 50-feet of cable to connect the receiver and display, and the tripod mount for the display unit.
