Understanding the
4
-Stage Timer
This is to help the racer understand the 4 Stage Timer when controlling a throttle stop. The 4 Stage Timer can also be used
to control other timed devices, nitrous, or timing retarders.
Stage 1 represents when the throttle stop turns on. Stage 2 represents the amount of time (duration) the throttle stop will stay
on. Stage 3 represents when the throttle stop will turn on the second time during the run. Stage 4 represents the amount of time (or
duration) the throttle stays on the second time. Both Stage 1 and Stage 3 start counting from the release of the Transbrake. Stage 2
starts counting after the amount of time set in Stage 1 is completed. Stage 4 starts counting after the amount of time set in Stage 3 is
completed.

Understanding the
Driver’s Reaction Tester
This improved feature in the Elite 500 allows a driver using the buttons mounted in the vehicle to test their reaction time.
This can also be used to test different kinds of buttons and button locations in the vehicle for the quickest release possible.
To select the Driver’s Reaction Tester, repeatedly press the Set Up key until Reaction Time appears on the top right of the
screen. Once in Reaction Test Mode, press a push-button connected to either P.B. 1 or P.B. 2. After a preset amount of time the bulb
on the top of the Elite 500 turns on, at which time the driver releases the push-button being held. On the top line the display will now
show the amount of time from when the bulb came on to when the push-button was released, this is the reaction time.
If the driver takes more than one practice shot while in The Driver’s Reaction Tester, line 2 will display the average reaction
time, line 3 will display the fastest reaction time and line 4 will display the slowest reaction time.
If the driver lets go of the button too soon, before the bulb turns on, dashes will be shown on the top line to indicate a red
light. If the driver does not let go of the button within .75 seconds after the bulb comes on, the top line will show a reaction time of
0999 to indicate a missed light. To exit the Driver’s Reaction Test Mode press the Set Up or BRKT key. If neither P.B. 1 nor P.B. 2
push-button is pressed, the unit will automatically exit the Driver’s Reaction Test Mode after 30 seconds. Each time a push-button is
pressed the 30 second timer resets.
NOTE:
The Clear key can be used to reset the Drivers Reaction Screen times.
NOTE:
When in the Driver’s Reaction Test Mode, the Transbrake solenoid will not be activated when a push-button is pressed. This
is to prevent any damage to the solenoid from over-heating.
