Programming ESD2 

It is possible to change the settings (time, start time, interval etc.) for ESD2 at 
any time, even if it is in operating mode. Changing the settings are done using 
the built-in keyboard.

Example: 
We want to set the actual time to 

11:08:00

, the start interval to 

45 sec

., and the 

start time to 

11:30:00

First, set the time to 11:08:00. Press the key marked "SET CLOCK"; the display 
shows "--:--:--" on the top line, and "SETCLK" on the bottom line. 

Enter the required time with the numeric keys and finish with 'Enter' exactly when
the time is 11:08:00. If something goes wrong,  the previous character may be 
deleted by pressing  "CLEAR", or the process may be started over  again by 
pressing «SET CLOCK» twice.

Then we'll set the start interval to 45 seconds. Press the key labeled 'Interval'. 
The display shows "15" on the top line ( "old" start interval), and "Interv" on the 
bottom line. Enter the desired time (in seconds) with the numeric keys and finish 
with 'Enter'. 'Clear' deletes the last digit.

Finally, we want to set the start time, ie the time of the first start of the event. We 
press 'Edit'-key once and the display shows "00:00:00" on the top line ( "old" 
start-time), and "START" on the bottom line. Enter the desired time (HH: MM: 
SS) with the numeric keys and finish with 'Enter'. 'Clear' deletes the last digit.

Start booth number 

At large events, using multiple start booths, you can set different start booth 
number for multiple ESD2's. This makes it possible to spread the starters over 
several start booths/ESD2's to prevent "queue and chaos." The start list must be 
transfered from a PC using the bundled software EmitESD2. 

To manually add a start booth no. on ESD2, press 'Edit'-key twice in quick 
succession. The display shows "1" on the top line, and "GATE" on the bottom 
line. Press the desired start booth no. using the numeric keys, and finish with 
'Enter'. 

10 sec. prewarning (beep) 

If you want to activate 10 sec. prewarning, this is done by pressing the 'Edit'-key 
three times in quick succession. The display shows "OFF" on the top line, and 
"10 SEC" on the bottom line. Turn off / on notice by using one of the arrow keys 
to change the value and end with 'Enter'. 

More simultaneously starting 

In pursuit mode: if two or more runners starts at the same time, their start 
numbers will appear alternately on ESD2. Be aware that runners who start 1-2 
seconds after the previous runner, will not get their start number shown. It is 
important that the starter is made aware of this!
