lane. You may wish to move the large display to the appropriate lane at this time to avoid
later confusion.
□
Remove the timing console from the case (only present in one of the two upright cases);
install four AA batteries as shown in compartment (battery cover slides off bottom).
Ensure proper operation by switching it on, watch for the startup message on the display
and then turn off again. Place the timing console on the timers table.
□
Remove the judges handswitch from the case (only present in one of the two upright
cases) and install one 9v battery as sown in compartment (battery cover slides off – may
be partially obstructed by the belt clip). Ensure proper operation by pressing the power
switch and watching for the red LED next to the switch. Press the power switch again to
turn it off. Hang the judge’s switch by its lanyard from a thumbscrew on the tripod for the
tree.
□
Repeat entire procedure for the other lane with the remaining black case.
Step 4 – Audio setup
□
Remove the speaker/amplifier and place it on the timing table. Connect the
speaker/amplifier to the timing console using the supplied cable. The cable should go in
“Line 1” on the speaker/amplifier @@INSERT COLOR HERE and “audio” on the timing
console. Plug in the speaker/amplifier and turn on with the rocker switch located on the
back panel. The volume can be adjusted by turning on the timing console, waiting for the
startup to complete and then pressing the “horn” button. The sound should be audible to
the judge but not loud enough to startle a dog. You may wish to point the
speaker/amplifier at the approximate position where the judge stands during a heat in
progress.
Step 5 – Place the system in the ring
□
Place the base with the two left poles to the left of the left lane. The poles should be 6-12
inches from the edge of the racing lane mat or approximately 3 feet from the center of the
lane (when no mat is present). Place the base with the two right poles to the right of the
right lane – again the poles should be 6-12 inches from the edge of the racing lane mat or
approximately 3 feet from the center of the lane (when no mat is present). The lenses in
the LS pole should align with the start/finish line and the LP pole should be on the box
side of the start finish line (you may need to swap the LS and LP poles in the base if they
were assembled incorrectly). The lenses in the RS pole should also align with the
start/finish line and the RP pole should be on the box side of the start/finish line (you may
need to swap the RS and RP poles in the base if they were assembled incorrectly). The
