Counter Operation
Dongles
To release a target using the BRB Wired Counter a Dongle must be inserted into the
counter socket. If the Dongle is set to Count Up Mode, then the shooter may release
10,000 individual targets before the count will need to be reset. If the Dongle is set to
Count Down Mode then then the club will program the required number of individual
targets into the Dongle using the clubhouse Console. Any amount between 0 and 999
can be programmed.
Either, insert the Dongle into the socket of the Counter and press ON/OFF, or press
ON/OFF and then insert the Dongle into the socket. If the ON/OFF button is pressed
while there is no Dongle present the display will read ‘Idle’ until the Dongle is inserted.
If no Dongle is inserted within 10 seconds then the Counter will return to sleep.
Once the Dongle has been inserted and the unit is powered on, the unit will stay
powered for 30 minutes after use has stopped. Once the Dongle has been removed the
display will read ‘Idle’ and wait for another Dongle for 10 seconds. If none is inserted
after 10 seconds the unit will return to sleep.
If a Dongle with the wrong ground ID is inserted then the Counter Code ‘Err 3’ will be
displayed until the Dongle is removed and no target can be released.
Count/Credit
With a Dongle inserted and the power ON, the display will show the count stored in the
Dongle. If the Dongle is set to Count Up Mode then the display will read between 0 and
10,000 and will be displayed as follows:
1234
When the display reads in this manner, the Counter is in Count Up Mode, has released
1234 targets with this Dongle and has a maximum of (10,000 -1234 =) 8766 remaining.
Count Down Mode can be distinguished as follows:
.9.8.7
When the display reads in this manner, the Counter is in Count Down Mode has a 987
target credit. In Count Down Mode when the count reaches zero no more targets can be
released until more count is added to the Dongle using the clubhouse Console.
