The GritTimer Start Tree features very bright, wide viewing angle (100° horizontal, 50° vertical) Light Emitting Diodes. Each Lane is controlled separately. When the Control Panel operator (typically the Race Director) presses and holds the red Race Enable button (Basic and Standard Models only), the top Red LEDs are illuminated and the individual Racer Controllers if present are enabled. Three seconds later the top Yellow LED is illuminated, followed in 1/2 second by the middle Yellow LED, followed in 1/2 second by the bottom Yellow LED and 1/2 second later the Green LED. The Racers may start at any time once the Start Tree begins its sequence. However, crossing the Start Line at any time before the Green LEDs come on will "Red Light" that racer and extinguish the LEDs for the offending lane. If the AC Power Controller is used, the power for that racer will also be turned off.

In the Basic and Standard models the winning lane will be displayed on the Start Tree by flashing leds.

In a manner similar to the Sensors/Emitters, the Start Tree may be mounted to your surface by hook and loop fasteners. Connection to the Start Tree is via a conventional 14' Cat5e cable which may be extended if necessary.

An optional AC Mains, large bulb Start Tree is in development and will be announced shortly.
