Control your heating products conveniently from your smartphone using the free app. Whether it be heat vests, socks, gloves, vests, pant or soles - with the Lenz heat app, the heat setting of the lithium packs can be regulated quickly and without complications. Additionally, it provides an overview of the current charge level of all the lithium packs. This is perfect if the heating product is under several layers of clothes. Advantages of the app: EACH LITHIUM PACK CAN BE CONTROLLED SEPARATELY Each of the connectible lithium packs can be set to a different heat level so you get just as much heat as you need everywhere. INTERVAL FUNCTION Heating and pause times can be set individually with the interval function, which extends the lithium packs’ lifetime. LED-OFF: If the LEDs glow through a thin item of clothing, they can be deactivated. The heat output remains set as defined in the app. ORDER FOR THE LITHIUM PACKS Coloured rubber rings are delivered with the lithium packs. These help you to distinguish entire “battery pairs” from each other or to distinguish the batteries that are purposely to be used on the left and on the right. You can assign the colour of the rubber rings to the batteries in the app. LED SYSTEM: The Lenz LED system 1.0 can also be controlled with the app. Different colours, lighting modes and brightness levels can be set. Smartphone requirements for running the Lenz heat app: - iOS 13.0 or above - Bluetooth 4.0 (SMART ready)
Microgate HiTiming
Read full descriptionHide full description
HiTiming is a Microgate App that supports RTPro single Starts and Training Light software by transferring events from the stopwatch to a mobile device in real time. Cloud Sharing The HiTiming App has been designed to share timing session data in real time with Coaches, Athletes and other people concerned through a free data sharing service. As soon as a timing session starts, I can share a session identification code with “Guest” Users. A User who has installed the HiTiming app and receives a text message or an email with the “Session ID” will launch the App in Guest mode and receive all the remote session data in real time. Once the session is closed by the primary user connected to the stopwatch, the sessions on the remote devices will also be closed automatically. Closed sessions will be available in the Session Archive. Sharing results in Excel From the session archive, you can send the session results via an Excel file attached to a text message or email. Athletes’ Personal Data In the athletes’ personal data section we can add a list of people with their main characteristics. Teams You can define one or more Teams by selecting the athletes who are part of that Team and assigning them the bib/number they will use during the training session (convenient when using the HiSmart system). Using Teams and athletes’ names is not indispensable (choosing a timing session without assigning a team will give the numbers used on RTPro) but it helps a lot when subsequently analysing the results.
