ProTouch FIE - Signalling unit with Touchscreen

The FMA21 is a fully FIE approved signalling unit for all 3 weapons incorporating all the latest FIE requirements. It is equipped with an integrated embedded industry PC and an easy to operate touch screen. The advanced design ensures a clear easy to read display of all relevant information. The unit also incorporates connections to peripheral units such as displays, result management, video refereeing system etc.
The FMA21 is operated by touch screen or remote control. The new RC system has much better range than previous models. Software up-dates for required FIE rule changes or the addition of new functions etc., are all done via the integrated USB-interface eliminating the need for chip changes.
Together with our range of accessories, such as stand and repetition lights, both of which can be easily attached to the main unit, makes the FMA 21 the most capable and sophisticated signalling unit available.
The FMA21 has successfully been used in Olympic, Paralympic and Continental Games, World and Continental Championships as well as World Cups and many more prestigious competitions.


Performance characteristics

FMA21 possesses some innovative performance characteristics. Most of them are available in no other signalling unit:

  • intuitively, multi-lingual user guidance and help functions via touch screen
  • profile management with free adjustment for many parameters and design options (design features can be defined by the profile management as well as certain communication protocols be put on serial connections)
  • name, photo and national flag are shown on the display (in combination with result-management-network)
  • number of remaining video proofs
  • display up to 15 red cards and the black card
  • display P-cards and passivity timer
  • reset of the remaining time on the second ( e. g. after operating error) 
  • possibility to save the last four scores with time and to recall them on the touch screen (required after operating error or false re-set )
  • medical and technical assistance can be requested from TD via the touch screen (with LAN-connection in combination with result-management-network)
  • remote configuration and –control of all units in one fencing hall by TD (with LAN-connection in combination with result-management-network)
  • three special modi to connect wireless fencing system “Wireless 2000” 
  • up-dates and up-grades by software without changing the chip (by USB-connector)
  • intelligent repetition lights: When fencing on one piste and with one signalling unit the repetition lights show the signals of the unit on the front and the back side. When fencing on two pistes with 2 units the repetition lights show the signals of one unit on the front side and the signals of the second unit on the back side.
  • wear-free LED lights (no bulbs) therefore no bulb change required
  • right-to-left reverse is possible without changing the lamps (this is required when using a second slave-unit on the back side)
  • power supply with 12 V. external medical power supply for 110 – 240V.
  • up to 3 power sources (battery, UPS, …) can be used at the same time
  • connection of UPS by RS232 and RS422 is able to show power failure

Touch-screen display

All relevant information is shown on the 22“ (55,8cm) TFT-Touch screen, which can also be operated with gloves. The functions on the screen can be adapted to suit your particular requirements.
The following information is displayed on the screen:

  • valid and non-valid hits
  • name, photo and national flag of the fencer (in connection with result management system e.g., Ophardt).
  • score
  • time
  • match number
  • piste number for use with results management system e.g., Ophardt
  • yellow, up to 15 red cards and black card.
  • P-cards and passivity timer
  • number of remaining video-proofs for use with video refereeing system e.g., Swiss Timing 
  • yellow blocker lamp for foil as well as red earth lamp for epee
  • multi-lingual menu

Included in delivery

  • signalling unit with integrated embedded industrial PC and 22“ touch screen-Display
  • infra-red remote control
  • power supply 110-240 V input voltage (according to medicine standard)
Product Category: Signaling Units
Product Line: ProTouch (FMA21)
Range of Use: Competitions

FMA21 has a wide range of communication interfaces which allow a smooth connection to peripheral units:

  • 1 x RS485 by XLR 3pol. male and female
     for the communication with allstar peripheral units like repetition lights, external chronometer, slave unit, podium lights etc.
  • 1 x RS232 by Sub-D 9pol male
  • 1 x RS422 by Sub-D 9pol female

Transmittance protocols as well as transmittance standards can be selected on one of these 3 interfaces, e. g. for the data exchange with screens (Kabcom, SwissTiming), Video-refereeing system and others.

  • 1 x Ethernet (LAN) by RJ45
    Connection to result management, remote set-up and –control of FMA21, network based up-date of firmware and possible connection to remote signalling units.
  • 1 x USB
     
    for firmware up-dates without exchanging the chip (FIE up-dates, new functions etc).
  • 1 x VGA to connect an external monitor/screen
  • FMA-USV: Unbreakable Power Supply (UPS) 
  • FB03a: Remote Control for FMA02/03/11/21
  • FB-VK5/30: Cable for remote control (5m / 30m)
  • FMA-MS2,5/MS20: Master / slave cables (2,5m / 20m)
    to connect a Master signalling unit (FMA02//03/11/21 with one or more Slave signalling units (FMA02/03/11/21) via the allstar serial bus.
  • FMA-KK: Battery Combination Cable
    for parallel use of battery and other power sources.

Network peripherals

The FMA21 can show its full performance characteristics when used in a network environment together with a Cyrano-compatible Result-Management-System (such as Ophardt-Team Result Management).

  • FMA-PK1/PK2/PK15: Patch Cable (1 m / 2 m / 15 m )
     
    Ethernet cable (Cat 6 or higher) to connect the FMA21 to a switch or other LAN devices.
