I have a older Alge start wand with 2 outputs (Primary/Secondary). LIke STS-A2S.
I've noticed that it is starting to send out 2 start pulses 0.001 second apart on Channels SZ and K1 even though we only have 1 pair of wires hooked up to it.
This isn't a problem when using a computer with the S4 or S3, as I can ignore the pulse, but when the Race Staff runs with an S3 alone, it causes both the A and B clock to start. They then usually miss that the B clock is running and miss the start of the next racer.
Shy of replacing this wand, is there something else that I can look at? Is there a schematic of a this device available for purchase?
