Preparation For Use
LAP TIMING (1)
1) Attach each electric eye to a quick-mount. Place
the eyes on opposite sides of the track to form a
start/stop line between them.
2) Turn the electric eyes ON. The power indicator
lamp on each unit should glow steadily. If the
lamp blinks, the low battery should be replaced.
3) Align the electric eyes. The electric eye on the
opposite side of the arena should be directly in-
line when sighting down either line on top of the
electric eye (left to right alignment), and when
sighting down the crack on the side of the eye (up
and down alignment).
4) Turn on the timer console in the announcer's
booth. The power switch is located at the upper
right corner of the timer.
5) The current event is shown on the Status display
on the timer console.
If

6) Walk through the electric eye beam to force the
eyes to send a message to the timer console. This
makes the timer console update its electric eye
alignment indicator (see the next page).
Entering a Track Length
The timer can compute lap speed as well as lap time.
To compute speed, a track length must be entered.
Once the track length is entered, it is permanently
saved in the timer. You do not need to re-enter the
track length each time you use the timer, unless a
different track length is desired.
To set the track length follow these steps:
1) With the timer stopped, press the SETUP button
to access the timer's setup features.
2) Press NEXT CHOICE until the display shows
Press
ENTER
for
Track
Length
.
3) Press ENTER to display the current track length.
4) If the displayed track length is OK, press the
ENTER button to keep the same value. Otherwise,
key in a new track length followed by the ENTER
key. (To correct a mistake, press and
hold down
the CLEAR TIME button until the track length
value is cleared to zero).
