INTRODUCTION

• The BOREAS display is a concentration clock and when connected to a SIROCCO wind gauge will display the wind speed.
• When connected to a SCAN’O’VISION photo-finish camera, the wind speed can be automatically measured and displayed (without a field operator).
• The BOREAS can also be used as a lap counter which makes it a real all-in-one compact field display.
• The BOREAS 150 (double side clock) has 15 cm digits (viewing distance up to 80m).
• A light sensor automatically adapts the display brightness to the ambient light conditions to provide the optimum readability.
• The brightness can also be manually chosen within 15 steps.
• An internal battery provides 8 hours of autonomy.
• An internal horn provides sound at an intermediate time and the end of the concentration clock.
