SI Bookings

This page has been created to provide a summary of bookings for OV owned SI equipment (hardware).

Commercial event organisers (e.g. adventure race operators) who are interested in possibly using OV Sportident systems on a single event (lease) basis are invited to contact Ian Dodd for further details.

Current location

Where is all the OV SI equipment currently located?

Most of what's left is at Ian Dodd's in Melbourne (Eastern suburbs) - see below.

The old PCs and A4 printer are still for sale.  For further info contact Ian Dodd.

Hire Sticks - 43 sticks currently available - use this OV SI Hire Cards List to allocate the hire sticks

Ian Dodd's

 You will need more than this number of sticks for newcomer events such as MelBushO; borrow from a club with SI gear

NEW POLICY

You lose it; you pay for it!  Any damage or loss will be charged to the last club known to have had the gear.  This includes removal of duct tape residue or damage to labels or cases or controls packed dirty or wet.  Clubs will be fined for all misuse and loss of gear, whether it was the fault of club members or just bad luck.

COURSE SETTERS

Please ensure you have checked availability of controls (and their numbering) before you print maps/condes.  Note that all Victorian controls were re-numbered in 2013 and again recently so do not assume you know what is available - read the details above!  Setting a course with one set of controls (101-150 OR 151-200) only will simplify your event.  Clubs are gradually removing numbers from stands so this may no longer be an issue - check with your club equipment manager.

ORGANISERS

Before you can use the SI gear on-the-day ensure you:

  • obtain a battery (BKV and NEV have one)
  • check the results printer has ink in it.  The printer is a HP Inkjet model that uses HP564 cartridges.  Only black ink is needed to print results.
  • check you have enough paper rolls for the splits printers.
  • have a supply of cable ties to attach controls if necessary (DO NOT USE ANY VARIETY OF STICKY TAPE ON CONTROLS BOXES AND DO NOT RE-LABEL THEM)
  • note that the beeping clocks are not kept with the SI gear (contact Ian Dodd to find out how to get one of them)
