1.  Plug the power supply into the power supply jack on the Champ Timer unit.  

IMPORTANT! Use only the 12V DC power supply supplied with your timer! 

Wrong power supply voltage will damage your timer & void the warranty! 

2.  Plug the 9-Pin RS-232 

Serial Cable

 into the Champ Timer computer connection port, 

shown in picture above. Plug the other end of this cable into the RS-232 

Serial to 

USB Adapter

. Plug the Serial to USB Adapter into a USB port on your computer. Use 

the CD that comes with the USB to Serial Adapter to install the driver. 

Note:

 The 

adapter driver might download and install automatically if you are already connected 

to the internet when you plug the adapter into the USB port on your computer.

into both jacks. 

Note: WIRING INFORMATION - 

The supplied start gate switch has three connections 

marked C(Common), NC (Normally Closed) and NO (Normally Open). The preferred 

method is to have the start gate switch lever depressed before the race and un-

pressed when the race starts. This method requires the use of the C and NC 

connections as shown in the picture below. (Top & bottom connections.) 
 

 

Use the top & bottom connections, leaving 

the middle one open.
