The reliability of Automatic Officiating Equipment is dependant on two electronic devices working in concert with each other, the touchpad indicating the swimmer has touched and the block sensor indicating the swimmer has left the blocks. So if the touchpad malfunctions or if there is a "light touch," the system will be in error and will need to be judged as an "electronic failure." 4, record 4, English, - touchpad

La fiabilité de l’équipement d’arbitrage automatique dépend de deux dispositifs électroniques qui travaillent de pair, soit le panneau de touche qui indique que le nageur a bel et bien touché le mur, ainsi que le capteur de bloc, indiquant que le nageur a quitté le bloc de départ. Donc si le panneau de touche est défectueux ou s’il y a un «toucher léger», le système sera fautif et devra être jugé comme une «défaillance électronique». 3, record 4, French, - panneau%20de%20touche
