RaceAmerica Model 3220 Timer SBD
until the alignment starts counting determines the
maximum vertical detection angle. Once these
extremes are established, position the Beam Emit-
ter in the center of the left/right detection angle
and up/down detection angle. Repeat this same
process with the Track Sensors. This will maxi-
mize the alignment accuracy. It should also be
noted that once the zero digit has stated counting,
it will never stop at zero again unless Alignment
Mode is exited and reentered. This can be helpful
for leaving the system in alignment mode for an
extended period of time to check on an intermit-
tent condition.
If the Start Sensor (or switch) is not con-
nected, the ‘S’ position will be counting. To run
a race without Start, make sure the ET option is
disabled in the configuration mode.
At this point the system is properly aligned.
Press the
[#] ENTER
button to exit Alignment
Mode.
