3 - Targets / LED displays

3.1 - What kind of Targets exist?

• ready to deliver are:

  • H&M (hit & miss) - targets replace the targets currently used in modern pentathlon

    • H&M targets register the laser-"shot" with sensors/detectors

      • reaction time is 10 ms (milliseconds)
      • sensors "know" the IQ-Container (by its serial number) when it shoots on the target in the "paired" mode

      • IQ-Container & target "pair" so that it is impossible to shoot the target of another competitor during competition, if the IQ-Continer is setup for this mode.

        • Standard delivery setting is "unpaired", so that every pistol can shoot every target

      • the H&M target "controls" / communicates with the IQ-Container

      • competition control through SIMPOWER or Navistreet light in connection with Cardsys or Easypenta Software
  • PLT (precise laser targets) - feature many new options/enhancements for your shooting skills
    • training mode
      • full feedback of shot: value, position, timing
    • competition mode
    • the PLT delivery includes the software for WINDOWS 7 / WINDOWS XP systems

3.2 - Is it possible to rebuild the current targets into laser targets?

• the "re-building" of current air-pellet targets to the new laser system targets is possible with extra mechanical works.

  • as these works have to be done by mechanical machines this seems to be more expensive than to buy the complete H&M target with the LED inclusion on the front side.

• a conversion of the old targets is theoretically possible, the new H&M targets with the LED technology cost 298,- € for everyone.

3.3 - How many types of LED displays exist

• currently we are aware of 2 manufacturers for the LED displays:
  • SIMPOWER, a french producer which connects to EASYPenta Software for computer / TV connections
  • Navistreet, a hungarian product which connects to the Cardsys Software system for computer / TV connections

3.4 - How do I connect the new targets with the lights?

• the connection is done by the same cable that you may have used in your "old" pellet targets
• it is a standard computer network cat5 cable
• if the connection is done this way, the targets take the electrical power from the LEDs, so no extra power supply is necessary.

3.5 - Can we still use the previously bought SIMPOWER or Navistreet LED displays?

• since many federations have bought many of the SIMPOWER lights (displays) one of our major goals was to make these products work with our techology.
• yes, you can use the existing lights with both versions of our targets.

  • the connection with our H&M target is as easy as the air pellet version; just the cable from target to the lights.

  • with the PLT you need an USB adapter in order to connect the lights to the computer.
