FTT-1 (Art. 895)

The user can select three operation modes:

• Foil hit recorder.
• Epee hit recorder.
• Tester for the electric control of body cords and the 3 weapons.

The low cost, the easy use and the multiple functions make it an indispensable device for every fencer.

Foil hit recorder:

• FTT-1 is connected to the 3-pin plug of all the body cords in order to use it with any kind of connector in the weapons.
• It comes with a special clip, which is easily fixed to the athlete’s clothing, close to the output of the body cord (small pocket, belt, etc.).
• It signals every time the tip of the weapon is pressed, even if this occurs on non-valid targets.
• It signals the hit only if the contact time of the tip is compliant with the FIE regulations, thus guaranteeing a correct execution.
• It is ideal for training because it makes reels, pistes, cables and signalling units superfluos.
• It allows to select 3 kinds of sonorous signalling:
  1. two of the signals last for 1 second and have different tonalities that distinguish the hits of the two competitors.
  2. a third signal has a short duration of 0.15 seconds in order to identify hits made in rapid succession during training.

Epee hit recorder:

• FTT-1 has all the characteristics listed for the foil hit recorder; the contact times of tip complies with the FIE regulations for epee.

Tester for the electric control of the body cords and the 3 weapons:

• The tester verifies the electric conductance of the circuits on the 3 weapons and on all kinds of body cords.
• The micro-interruptions of the circuits are signalled both visually and audibly even when they last a millisecond; in this manner uncertain contacts or brief disconnections during the movement of the cables can be identified.

General Characteristics:

• Automatic turn off: after 5 minutes of inactivity.
• Automatic reactivation: at the first recorded event.
• Standard battery, included: 12V type A23.
• Extremely reduced dimensions: 7.6 x 4.8 x 1.6cm.
• Super light: 60g.
