pressing the Next key will act as an enter key and the leading zeros will displayed on the LCD. As the numbers are entered they are
shown on the display, indicating the numbers are accepted and entered into memory. If a mistake is made while entering the time,
press and released the Clear key and reenter the time again.
The Scrolling Arrow keys can also be used to change stage time. First make sure that the selection arrows are on the line to
be changed. If not change which line is selected using the Next key. Once the desired line has been selected pressing and releasing
the Up Arrow key will cause the time to increase by one. While pressing and releasing the Down Arrow key will cause the time to
decrease by one. If the Up Arrow key is held down the time will scroll up and if the Down Arrow key is held down the time will
scroll down.
Note: Entering all zeros into any stage turns that stage off.
Throttle Modes
The Throttle Modes for Timer 1 and 2 are displayed on Screens 4 and 5 respectively. Keep in mind that the S.F.O. mode
must be 2 for Screen 5 to be viewable. The words “off on off on” or “on off on off” to the left of the stage times indicate the two
possible Throttle modes. To change the Throttle mode press and hold down the zero key. After about two seconds the words “off on
off on” or “on off on off” to the left of the stage times will toggle to the opposite setting. Once this takes place release the Zero key,
the Throttle mode has now been changed. Each time the Zero key is pressed, held and then released the Throttle mode will switch
between the two modes. To prevent an accidental switch between the two Throttle modes when entering a new stage time, the Zero
key will be disabled for two seconds after the fourth number is entered for the new stage time.
Bracket Mode Settings for Screen 6
The Elite 500 can handle up to five shifts on each pass. The shifts occur in sequence 1 through 5, after the Transbrake
releases. When the Elite 500 is displaying Screen 6 the Shift Points are displayed on line 1, the Shift Numbers are displayed on line
2, Multi-shift is displayed on line 3, and Shift Mode is displayed on line 4.
Setting Multi-Shift
The Multi-Shift value is displayed on line 3, The Elite 500 uses the information entered for the Multi-shift to help reduce
errors and speed up data entry for the Shift Points. The Multi-shift setting should be set to the same number as the number of shifts
the vehicle requires. To set the Multi-shift, use the Setup key to get to Screen 6 then use the Next key to select line 3. Next use the
Up or Down Arrow key to set the Multi-shift amount.
Setting Shift Number and Shift Points
The Shift Number is displayed on line 2 and corresponds to the displayed Shift Point, which means if the Shift Number being
displayed is a 2, the displayed Shift Point would be for the second shift. To view all of the Shift Points, move the selection arrows
until they appear on lines 1 and 2 by repeatedly pressing the Next key. Now each time a Scrolling Arrow key is pressed and released
the Shift Number will increase or decrease by one and the corresponding Shift Point will be displayed on line 1. After making sure the
correct Shift Number is selected and selection arrows are on the top 2 lines, press the Clear key. Now using numerical keys enter the
new Shift Point, leading zeros do not have to be entered. For example if a time of 0.800 for a Shift Point was desired 800 would be
entered on the keypad. If less than four digits are entered for a Shift Point, pressing the Next key will act as an enter key and the
leading zeros will be displayed on the LCD. As the numbers are entered they are shown on the display, indicating the numbers are
accepted and entered into memory. If a mistake is made while entering the Shift Point, press and release the Clear key and reenter the
Shift Point again.
Setting Shift Mode
The Shift Mode setting corresponds to the operation of Shift terminal on the Elite 500. To change the Shift Mode, move the
selection arrows to line 4, press and release a Scrolling Arrow key. Each time a Scrolling Arrow key is pressed and released the Shift
Mode will toggle between the “HI” and “LO” settings. When the Shift Mode is set to “HI” (normally open) it means that every time a
Shift Point is reached the Shift terminal will go from a low (0 Volts) to a high (12 Volts). When the Shift Mode is set to “LO”
(normally closed) it means that every time a Shift Point is reached the Shift terminal will go from a high (12 Volts) to a low (0 Volts).
