The TURBO Timer can be upgraded to support additional lanes by adding Bridge and Lane Modules as needed. It can support a total of 6 lanes. You can also add extra lane modules to make your display double-sided (seen from both sides).
Product Upgrades For DT1000 & DT2000 Timers
Both of our original timers, the DT1000 and the DT2000, can be upgraded to support more lanes. You can upgrade any time - whether one year or several years down the road. There is no deadline to upgrade. It is an available option for those who may have a one or two lane track today but are thinking of a larger track in the future. The upgrade is available to all who purchased their product since Sept 1999. DerbyTV can be added onto any timer purchased after October 23, 2000.
Upgrading the DT1000:
If you upgrade the DT1000 to a DT2000, the timer will operate on two lanes. You may also upgrade the DT1000 to the DT8000 and then the timer will work on tracks with one to eight lanes.
Upgrading the DT2000:
The DT2000 can be upgraded to the DT8000 and then the timer will work on tracks with one to eight lanes.
How easy is it to upgrade?
The upgrade is simple. After you order the upgrade, you will receive a chip removal tool, labels, new manual, and installation instructions. Just open up the timer and replace the chip with the new one, as per the instructions.
How do I know which timer to buy or upgrade to?
You should look at three key points: number of lanes you need now, number of lanes you may need in the future, and the cost of the timer/finish line you are considering.
The neat thing about our products is that you are not stuck with your original choice in lane size if you choose to get a bigger track later on.
