TE am opp Page 5 of 22 1 Introduction RED can command both the Microgate u Sem signal lights and by means of special adaptors signal lights or other signaling control devices produced by other constructors Main characteristics The main characteristics of REI2 s signal light control are e Independence from the program see section 1 1 Independence from the program on page 5 e Seven time sequences which can be freely personalized by the user see section 1 2 Personalization on page 5 e The possibility of freely linking together up to 8 sequences see section 1 3 Linking sequences on page 5 e Indication of false starts see section 1 4 False starts on page 6 e Four default sequences assignable to the personalizable sequences see section 7 Example of configuration on page 17 1 1 Independence from the program With RED signal light management is not confined to a specific program but is available albeit with specific special features in all the programs In practice whichever REI2 program is used the signal light and loudspeaker output S control functions are available This makes it possible to optimize the number of REI2s used at a specific event For example in a race in which the start and finish are near cross country skiing individual cycling time trials enduro it is possible to connect the start signal light directly to the REI2 used for time keeping see Fig 4 on page 17 1 2 Personalization Signal
