With the calibration procedure, the TRANSMITTER measures the characteristics of the fencer, of the
bodycord, of the jacket and of the weapon.
If conditions should change (for example: change of fencer, change of weapon,
profuse sweating, etc..), the calibration will need to be repeated.
Each time the TRANSMITTER is turned on the calibration procedure must be carried
out again.
If an incorrect functioning is noted, repeat the calibration procedure paying close
attention to the position of the fencers (see Fig. 5).
5.3. Note on displaying/signalling hits for FOIL
A VALID hit is signalled by the lighting for 2 seconds of all red or green LEDs according to the fencer
•
who effectuated the hit.
An INVALID hit is signalled by the flashing of a single line of 4 LEDs.
•
A hit to the conductive jacket is signalled as VALID. If it is signalled as INVALID:
•
– make sure that the part of the jacket hit is not insulated or heavily oxidized.
– Execute the calibration procedure again (see ch. 5.2) of the fencer who made the hit.
A hit to non conductive garments will be signalled as INVALID. However, it may happen that a hit
•
to a non conductive garment is signalled as VALID in the following cases:
– the part of the garment that is hit is damp with sweat.
– there is a change in the perspiration level of the fencer who made the hit. In this case carry out
the calibration procedure again, (see ch. 5.2).
A hit to the guard is signalled as VALID
•
A hit to the (insulated) varnished mask is signalled as INVALID. However, if a conductive part of
•
the mask (unvarnished) is hit, the hit may be signalled as VALID.
A hit to the conductive piste is signalled as VALID.
•
A hit to the skin of an opponent is signalled as VALID.
•
A hit to one's own skin is signalled as VALID.
•
A hit to one's own conductive jacket is not signalled.
•
5.4. FOIL PLASTIC Specifications, for foil plastic with electrical connection
As for FOIL, except that each pressure the tip makes will result in a VALID hit. The tip contact should
close when it is pressed and should be connected as with the epee bodycord.
2 Such an abnormality may nevertheless be accepted for training, keeping in mind that a hit made by the tip to the guard is
uncommon and sometimes is not signalled at all, due to the fact that the tip bounces off the guard and does not press it long
enough to be registered.
