4. Using the Champ Timer AC adapter, power up the Champ Timer.
IMPORTANT! Use only the 12V DC power supply supplied with your timer!
5.
Timer Sequence:
When the timer is first plugged in at startup, you will see all lane displays showing an
8, then a lane number illuminates in each lane. (See #6 & #7 below). The display will
then blank out.
If the start gate is in the up (ready to race) position you will see a lower case
“u”
in
each lane indicating the start gate is
“up”
.
When the start gate drops, the “u” will change to a lower case
“r”
indicating the
“race”
has started and the elapsed time has started counting.
As each car crosses the finish line the “r” will change to the place of finish and the
display will also show the elapsed time for that lane.
6.
Default Mode
(doing nothing during power up, with no computer connection) - The
results remain on the displays for 15 seconds, unless the Reset Button is pressed.
All lanes are active in default mode. At startup all displays will show their respective
lane numbers (lane 1 '1', lane 2 '2', etc.)
If using GPRM (Grand Prix Race Manager) software with a computer connection, skip
to #9 below.
7.
No Timeout Mode
(Timer will not reset until the reset button is pushed
) -
Activated by pressing and holding in the Reset Button before and during power up
until the number 2 is displayed in each lane. The timer displays will show all
'2's
instead of the lane's respective number (lane 1 '1', lane 2 '2', etc.). This mode allows
the results of a race to be displayed indefinitely until the Reset Button is pressed. All
lanes are active in No Timeout Mode.
8.
Lane Mask Option (Turning Off Lanes)
–
Lane masking can be done in either Default Mode or No Timeout Mode.
(See #6 & #7 above).
Choose which one of these modes prior to using the lane masking option.
Before powering up the timer, place something over the sensors of the lanes that you
want to be masked/turned off. Power up the timer.
Masking when using Default Mode:
When
n
's are displayed on the blocked lanes,
press the Reset Button for approximately 5 seconds to have those lanes turn off.
Masking when using No Timeout Mode:
Release the reset button after the
2’s
are
displayed in the lanes. When
n’
s are then displayed on the blocked lanes, press the
reset button again for approximately 5 seconds to turn those lanes off.
Note:
This is a one-time masking for both modes - if lanes need to be reconfigured,
unplug, and then restart the timer. If the timer is unplugged, the lanes will need to be
masked again.
