Accidental Timer Stop
If the timer is accidentally stopped during the middle
of a run,
the rider can still be accurately timed
by
pressing the RESTART button. (The timer continues
timing even when stopped.) As long as RESTART is
pressed before the ride is completed, no time is lost.
Previous Time Recall
Use the PREV and NEXT keys to scan back and forth
through previous times. Broken barriers, “No Times”,
and penalties (if entered) are saved with each time.
The previous time display is removed after about ten
seconds, or by pressing any other key. You may view
a previous time even while the timer is running.
No Time
To record a “No Time,” press the NO TIME button
after stopping the timer. The message “No Time” is
displayed, and if using the optional printer, a “No
Time” message is printed. The “No Time” is also
displayed whenever the rider's time is recalled later.
Penalties
Entering a Penalty
To enter a penalty, press the SCORE/PENALTY
button. To accept the default penalty that is shown,
press ENTER, otherwise, key in a new penalty, fol-
lowed by the ENTER button. (Note: pressing the
decimal point button moves the input cursor to the
right of the decimal. However,
zeros to the right of
the decimal do not need to be entered
).
After the penalty is entered, the Time display is up-
dated to include the penalty. The Status display shows
the original time and the penalty value. If a score-
board is connected, it displays the time including
penalty. If a printer is connected, an additional line is
printed showing the penalty and time with penalty.
Correcting Mistakes
To correct a mistake while entering a penalty, press
and hold down
the CLEAR TIME button until the
timer beeps and the penalty value is cleared to zero
(about one second).
If ENTER has already been pressed, simply start the
penalty entry process over – the new entry replaces
the previous penalty.
Steer Electric Eye Type
The first line of the Status Display shows the type of
electric eye the timer is using for the steer score line.
By default, the timer assumes a reflector type eye is
used. However, as soon as a long range eye is con-
nected and turned on, the timer immediately switches
to using the long range eye.
