Shunt test:
− Short-circuit cable at the other end (connect the banana plugs)
− Press <TEST>
−
Voltage at short-circuited channel must be between 0 and 0.9 V. In case the voltage is higher
than 0.9 V, the resistance of the cable is too large (maximum 2,000 Ohm loop resistance).
The voltage measurement is just a quick test of the connections before a race. You should use a multi-
meter to check the resistance of the connection if it has not been used for a long time.
Most of the problems with timing are caused by bad connections. The cables should be inspected in
good time before the season’s opening. Bad cables or plugs cannot be replaced shortly before a race.

Needle of meter (3) swings:
The needle starts to swing if the photocell is misaligned. The photocell must be checked. The swinging
of the needle can also be caused by a long impulse or short-circuit.
2.11 Synchronized Start
Synchronization with other timing devices is possible. The synchronization is carried out during setting
of the time of day in the main menu after turning on the TdC 8001.
Connect the timing devices via start banana jacks (or cable 004) with each other.
Time: 10:15:23 OK < F1 time and date are correct
Date: 11-02-28 WRONG 2F2 time or date is wrong
Continue: ENTER
There are two ways to synchronize:
−
Synchronization by internal clock
− Manual synchronization
Synchronization by internal clock:
−
Press <F1> and then <ENTER>
− Info display (7) shows:
Time: 10:15:23
Date: 11-02-28
Synchronize: on minute change
Manual synchronization:
− Press <F2>, then
−
Press <ENTER>
−
Info display (7) shows:
