SHOT DETECTION MICROPHONE:
(Continued….)
The digital numbered settings (1 to 8), provide a flexible range of adjustment of the microphone when
needed, depending on the shooting location and conditions. (1 = least sensitive / 8 = most sensitive).
To adjust the sensitivity, select MENU, then SENSITIVITY, and then scroll up or down using the Di-
rectional buttons to select the desired sensitivity level
The CED7000 shot-detecting microphone is software designed and factory preset at a mid level
range (4) that provides accurate function under most normal types of outdoor conditions. How-
ever, due to various changes in range conditions, climates, and locations, it is strongly recom-
mended to test your timer on the range it is to be used, prior to competition use, to insure it is
properly set. This will eliminate any chance of recording errors!
Always hold the timer with the front panel facing the Shooter! The microphone is located on
the upper front panel, positioned under the display screen and should have direct, clear line-
of-sight to the Shooter. In cases where a person is shooting around walls, or other objects, the
timer should be held in a manner that provides unobstructed view to the person shooting. The
Range Official should be careful not to cover the microphone, or allow ejected cases to hit the
timer during recording. Ideally, the timer should be within six feet of the person firing the shot
to be recorded.
FILTER:
The CED7000 comes with a factory preset default software filter set at 8/100 of a second. Therefore,
the timer will only record shots as fast as 9/100 of a second. This filter is designed to prevent unwanted
echo sounds, which cause erroneous recordings on timers. However, the CED7000 allows the user to
custom adjust the software filter from 9/100 down to 2/100 of a second or any level in between. Such
adjustments modify the CED7000 allowing the timer to detect shots as fast as 33 shots per second or
up to 1,980 shots per minute. To adjust the filter setting, select MENU, and then FILTER, and use the
directional buttons to select the desired amount of time to be filtered.
BUZZER VOLUME:
The CED7000 is set with two volume levels for the buzzer beep. The normal one is a loud medium
to high frequency beep in excess of 110db. Selecting the SOFT setting will lower the frequency and
db level by aprx. 50%. This setting is perfect for home dry fire practice and other uses where a loud
sounding beep is not desired.
RESET FUNCTION:
On the backside of the timer housing in the upper right hand corner, there is a small hole with the word
RESET under it. If for any reason, this CED7000 Timer should freeze up, go blank during charging, or
incur any other unforeseen problem, it is possible to reset the timer, which in doing, should resolve the
problem incurred. To reset the timer, use a small paperclip, straightening one end of it and inserting it
directly into the small RESET hole. Continue inserting the paperclip until it comes in contact with the
micro-switch. SLIGHTLY press forward, until the contact switch activates resetting the timer. If for
any reason, the timer does not reset returning the function to normal operation, it should be returned to
Competitive Edge Dynamics USA for servicing and / or replacement if under warranty.
