1DEVICE FUNCTIONS AND MAJOR FEATURES
WITTY is a training timing system ideal for all sports where assessing athletic performance through sprint,
speed, endurance, reaction, shuttle tests, etc. is essential.
Thanks to the timer and photocell-integrated radio system (which do not require special official
authorization), the large color display, the modern user interface featuring icons, and the practical padded
backpack, setup and use is extremely easy and fast.
The system is largely expandable with the possibility to add (single or double) photocells for intermediate
times, accessories such as starting pads, time displaying LED boards, direction indicators, etc.
The kit comes with a free Windows software (which can be downloaded from our website) called Witty
Manager for importing data of performed tests and viewing it in numerical tables and graphs, managing a
complete athlete personal data base (transferring the athlete's picture to the timer for fast identification),
creating customized test types and updating the timer and photocell firmware.

2.2.1 MOUNTING PHOTOCELLS AND REFLECTORS ON TRIPODS
To mount the photocells and the reflectors on the tripods supplied with the kit, proceed as follows: remove
the little platform from the top of the tripod and screw it onto the photocells and under the reflectors (the
platform is square-shaped and therefore allows 4 mounting directions with respect to the tripod). Mount
the devices onto the top of the tripod inserting the front of the platform, and then the rear until the tab
clicks into place.
