The speaker may also beep if that option is enabled. Break the left lane beams before the
green light comes on and the system will indicate a false start in the left lane and reset. A
negative time will be shown on the left large display and the top red light on the left tree
will come on and stay on. Depress the judge’s handswitch or the large black button again
to restart the heat. The tree will sequence again. Break the right lane beams before the
green light comes on and the system will indicate a false start in the left lane and reset. A
negative time will be shown on the right large display and both top red lights on the trees
will come on and stay on. Depress the judge’s handswitch or the large black button one
more time to restart the heat. The tree will sequence again. Simulate several dogs running
and observe the split times and bad pass indications. Depress the judge’s handswitch or
the black button to signal the end of the heat. The final time will display on the large
displays and console and a winner may be indicated by a blinking light on the tree if four
“good dogs” ran in either lane. Press clear time to ready the system for another heat.
□
Once you are satisfied that the system is operating correctly, power off all six poles, the
judges handswitch, the timing console and both trees to conserve batteries. The large
displays should be unplugged when not in use for extended periods (overnight) and the
audio speaker/amplifier should be switched off.
Both trees should be plugged in to
charge overnight before each day of racing.
The whole tripod with the trees can be
moved to a convenient location where AC power is available – often near the timing table
or large displays works well. After a brief delay, the green lights on the front of the trees
will flash while charging.
