PROGRAMMING & TEST MENUS

5.1

Introduction

The 6 red keys are for programming and testing the 

FA-07

. Following is a description of the function of each key:

Allows you to alternately enter and exit the programming function. The first step of programming is indicated with
P.01.

Allows you to go to the next programming step (P.01 → P.02 → P.03, etc.).

Allows you to return to the previous programming step (P.04 → P.03 → P.02, etc.).

When the programming parameter has more than one digit, this key allows you to select (upon rotation) one digit
at a time in order to modify it with the 

 and 

 keys.

Increases/modifies the value of the parameter displayed.

Decreases/modifies the value of the parameter displayed.

5.2

Description of programming steps

Following is a description of the various programming steps, starting with P.01.

P.01

Language = [English, Italiano, Français, Español, Deutsch]
Select the desired language with the 

 and 

 keys.

P.02

Chronometer = [0:00 ÷ 9:59]
The current value of the chronometer is displayed. You can modify the digit underlined (by the cursor) with the
keys 

 and 

, or select the digit to be modified with the key 

.

P.03

Block Remote Control = [NO, YES]
Used only in important competitions to ensure “

remote control safety

” and to avoid errors made from pressing a

key by mistake. If “Block Remote Control = YES”, the remote control keys that normally function on their own (i.e.,
without   the   [

Alt-1

]   key)   are   recognized   only  if   the   [

Alt-2

]   key   is   simultaneously   pressed.   For   example,   to

effectuate a 1-minute pause, instead of pressing only the [

PAUSE

_

1

_

min

] key, you should press the [

Alt-2

] +

[

PAUSE 1 min

] keys simultaneously.

Only the [

START

_

STOP

_

TIME

] key continues to work by itself, to allow you to immediately stop the chronometer.

P.04

IP  = [000.000.000.000 ÷ 254.254.254.254]
When a LAN connection is used, each apparatus must have a different IP address. We suggest using a number
from 192.168.000.020 to 192.168.000.254, if not already in use by other devices.
Use the 

 key to select the number you wish to modify, and the keys 

 and 

 to modify it.

P.05

Port number = [01025 ÷ 65535]
This number is used for connection to the LAN. We suggest that you  leave it at 50100 and modify it only in
accordance with the central management system.

P.06

Display contrast = [0 ÷ 9]
With the 

 and 

 keys you can modify the contrast of the graphic display panel for better visualization. When

switching on the  

FA-07

, if you are unable to read the display panel (it is entirely dark or entirely light due to a

previous   error   in   the   contrast   setting),   use   the   remote   control’s   [

+

]   and   [

-

]   keys   for   modifying   the   match   by

keeping pressed the [

Alt-1

] and [

Alt-2

] keys at the same time. In this way the contrast of the display panel can

be modified without using the programming menu.

P.07

TEST number = [0 ÷ 7]
With the 

 and 

 keys you can access the various tests specified in chapter 5.3.

P.08

Pause 1 min. = [Manual, Automatic]
Selecting “Pause 1 min. = Automatic” is useful in 3-match competitions and launches the automatic pause of 1
minute at the end of the 3 minutes of the 1st and 2nd matches. At the end of the 1-minute pause, the subsequent
match number will appear and the chronometer's 3-minute start time will load.

P.09

OTHER INFORMATION
In this step the following non-modifiable information is displayed:

the software version installed in the 

FA-07

,

the serial number of the apparatus.

 

5.3

Description of tests

The test functions are accessible in programming step P.07 (see chapter  5.2); by using the 

 and 

 keys, tests 1 to 7 can

be made. Following is a description of these tests.

TEST 1
