Lengths
If the operator has not configured the console with an event order, it is pertinent that
the correct number of lengths be set for the race being timed. Press [LENGTHS] followed
by the number of lengths to be completed using [0-9]>[ENTER] . Every time the swimmer
goes from one end of the pool to the other is a length. To figure out the correct number
of lengths, divide the distance of the race by the length of the pool. Example: a 200 yard
race in a 25 yard pool (200/25=8), Lengths = 8. The maximum number of lengths that the
OmniSport 2000 console will time is 66.
Reset
When a race is complete, the operator presses [RESET]>[ENTER] to reset the timer.
Note: If the operator has not pressed [STORE PRINT] before resetting the timer, pressing
[RESET] will store the race and print the results in addition to resetting the clock.
If the timer was not reset before the start of the next race, refer to Always Ready Start
(p.34) .
Menu
Press [MENU] to access additional functions and settings in the console. Section 5:
Swimming Mode Menus & Settings (p.41) describes the menus in swimming and how to
navigate them.
Touch
Use the touch keys during a race to adjust lengths count for a lane. This keeps the timer’s
internal length count correct if there is a missed split time or an accidental touch. To
make the changes to the desired lane, press [+ TOUCH] or [- TOUCH] followed by the
specific [LANE ON/OFF] key (or the lane number on the numeric keypad) and press
[ENTER] .
Examples of when to use the touch keys:
• Missed touchpad on a split; press
[+ TOUCH]>[LANE ON/OFF] for the desired lane
• A swimmer in the water got out late during a relay and triggered the touchpad.
If the operator caught it right away, [SPLIT ARM] would have been pressed. If the
arming delay has counted down and the lane is armed for the next touch, press
[- TOUCH]>[LANE ON/OFF] for the desired lane.
Edit
The function of [EDIT] depends on whether the time is reset, or if the clock is counting.
If the Timer is Reset
With the timer reset, press [EDIT] to bring up the Edit Start
Menu on the right LCD. The Time of Day for the last start
received will be displayed. Verify that is the correct start time
and press [ENTER] , or use the numeric keypad to input the
correct Time of Day and press [ENTER] .
Examples of when to use Edit when the console is Reset:
• The console was reset accidently and the race was still going on.
• If two OmniSport 2000 consoles are being used in parallel and one timer either missed
the start, or it was accidently turned off, a start Time of Day could be read from the
printout on the other console.
