Precision Infra-Red Detection

Wireless Infrared Detection Technology

The WIRM Wireless Infra-Red Multi-Cell system creates a precise infrared detection curtain to accurately detect when a dog crosses the start or finish line.

Multiple sensors ensure reliable detection while minimizing the risk of missed impulses.

Key Features

  • Infra-red multi-cell detection system
  • Wireless communication with the timing unit
  • High-precision impulse transmission
  • Reliable detection across the agility course line
  • Designed specifically for sports timing environments

Advantages of the STS Dog Agility Timing System

Accurate Infrared Detection

The 70 cm infrared detection curtain ensures reliable timing even when dogs cross at different heights or speeds.

Wireless Architecture

Sensors, timing controller, and race display communicate wirelessly, reducing cables and simplifying event setup.

Fast Deployment

The system can be deployed and aligned in minutes, making it suitable for temporary courses and traveling competitions.

Competition-Ready Hardware

Designed for reliability in indoor arenas and outdoor events with changing lighting conditions.

Typical Competition Setup

A typical agility timing setup includes a start photocell pair, finish photocell pair, central timing unit, and race display.

When the dog crosses the start beam the timer begins instantly. Crossing the finish beam stops the timer and displays the final result.

This configuration ensures consistent and reliable timing for both training sessions and official competitions.

Unlike single-beam sensors, the infrared curtain detects dogs at multiple heights simultaneously.

Integration with Competition Scoring Software

The STS Dog Agility Timing System integrates with several third-party scoring and results platforms used at major agility competitions.

This enables:

  • Automatic race result processing
  • Competition scoring
  • Real-time ranking updates
  • Integration with event management systems

This creates a complete competition timing solution for large-scale dog agility events and shows.
