Chronograph Mode

Chron

 mode has a resolution of a                   

1/Hundredth of a second. This is the stan-

dard mode used for the majority of timing 

applications.  

TCi-Timer Modes

For both 

TCi-Timer

 and 

TCi-Timer SMARTPHONE

Use the 

Mode

 button to scroll through the mode options.  When on the 

desired mode press 

Enter

. The 

TCi-Timer

 is now setup to time the event.

1/Thousandth Mode

KPH/MPH Mode

1/Thousandth

 mode is similar to the 

Chron

 mode but displays 1/1000th of a 

second resolution.  In this mode the dis-

play will only time to 9.999 seconds.

This mode is useful in timing short spans 

between the start and finish where extra 

resolution is needed for differentiation.  

All of the functions work the same as the 

“Chron” mode.

Rule:

  You must have at least 0.12 

seconds of time between start 

PhotoGate

 

and finish 

PhotoGate

.

KPH/MPH 

mode calculates kilometers 

per hour and miles per hour.

Rule:

  You must have at least 0.2 seconds 

of time. And .5 seconds for high accuracy

At 20 mph the span needs to be 4 feet or 

more.  At 100 mph it is 18 feet or more.

Use 

Up Split/Scroll Arrow

 to 

alternate between KPH and MPH.

Scroll to set the number of 

feet 

or 

meters 

between the two 

Photo-

Gates

.  

When passing through the start and finish gates, 

MPH will be seen on the top display and elapsed 

time on the bottom display.  When adding a split, 

the 

TCi-Timer

 will show MPH on the top display 

and advancing 

CUM

 times on the bottom display.  

Standard 

Memory Review

 functions will apply.

BLE ON/Off

If the 

TCi-Timer

 was purchased with the 

Smartphone Interface

 the 

BLE

 

mode will allow “On” or “Off”. 

Select “On” to allow the 

TCi-

Timer

 to connect with a Smart-

phone using the 

Brower Timing 

Test Center App

. Select “Off” to 

block Smartphone from connecting to the 

Timer. If the 

TCi-Timer

 does not have the 

Smartphone Interface

 installed the mode 

will display “no BLE.” Contact Brower
