For four days we ran races with the same laptop connected to a TDC8000+. 520 used as back-up. Tag 553 used on start and and interval 1 (had problems after two days with Interval 1 so we took the back-up start out of the 553 and replaced it with the interval to solve the problem). No issues for 4 days.
Took two days off, and was using the TDC for a Mogul event so we used two 520s for this other race. Everything else was identical. Every racer we were getting false finishes. This didn't show up until we started the race. So we unplugged the lap top and 520 from the wall power (which was powered through a constant power UPS being charged by a diesel generator). Still no fix. Plugged the start and finish in through the 553 as the start was already plugged in through the 553). No fix. We unplugged the 520 from the laptop. Problem solved. Anyone else have a problem like this?
I am going to play with it some more, but really couldn't in the middle of the race.
