Handheld Bullhorn/Electronic Starter System START 1000 MARK III - a kinder, gentler start” - only $259 DESCRIPTION ProGrams Sports Systems has combined what we believe to be Earth’s best handheld loudspeaker with the tone generator from a commercial fire alarm system and our own unique side-emitting LED strobe light to produce the START 1000 MARK III Electronic Starting System. Over 15 years of experience in producing earlier versions of this device – our original START 1000 Classic Swim Meet Starter System and its successor, the START 1000 Lite Handheld Starter – have led to this new product. The major features of this system are as follows: ► Handheld starting system powered by 8 AA batteries. ► Loud, light, and reliable megaphone allows starter/referee to speak to athletes and announce beginning of each race. ► Integrated signal button produces simultaneous electronic “beep” and ultra-bright 360 ⁰ LED flash to start each race. ► No loud, scary pistols to frighten younger summer-league athletes. ► No delays caused by misfires. ► No annual ammunition costs. ► Two-year warranty. SYSTEM COMPONENTS Handheld loudspeaker ► Power output: 6W Rated / 10W Max. ► Range: 250 meters (over 800 feet) . ► Powered by 8 AA batteries (over 8 hrs operating time). ► High durability ABS or ASA resin construction - compact and lightweight – easily carried all day with one hand. ► Voice amplifier with wide frequency range for enhanced audio quality. ► Speaker incorporates neodymium magnet and polyimide diaphragm to ensure efficient operation and high sound quality. ► Anti-bacterial treatment on mouthpiece, microphone, and handle improves hygiene and safety during use. Electronic beep ► MARK III tone generator incorporates powerful siren-driver circuit board from commercial fire alarm system. ► Rated sound-level output at 10 feet: 106dB. Side-emitting LED strobe ► Ultra-bright 360 ⁰ LED optical strobe used in this system has been designed, tested, and fabricated in our own manufacturing facility. ► Strobe emits simultaneous green and orange-red light emitting diode (LED) pulses to highlight the visible starting signal. ► Green pulse – one of the most brilliant wavelengths available in today’s LED market – provides outstanding visibility in indoor facilities at any time of the day and in outdoor facilities during late afternoon and evening hours or at sunset when the background sky often displays a distinctive orange-red color. ► The orange-red LED pulse overrides and dominates output of the LED strobe in the middle of the day when intense light scattered from blue noontime skies can wash out the green flash. ► Powerful side-emitting LED diodes used as the optical strobe for this system are mounted inside a light-diffusing cylinder surrounded by a protective lens for eye safety.
