The Elite 500 has two Pro Mode 4 Stage Timers called Pro Timer 1 and Pro Timer 2. All of the settings for Pro Timer 1 are
on Screen 2 and all of the settings for Pro Timer 2 are on Screen 3. When the Elite 500 is displaying Screen 2 or 3, the Stage 1 time is
displayed on line 1, the Stage 2 time is displayed on line 2, the Stage 3 time is displayed on line 3, and the Stage 4 time is displayed
on line 4.
Setting Time Ranges (xx.xx or x.xxx)
For Pro Timer 1 and Pro Timer 2
To change the Time Range for Pro Timer 1, repeatedly press the Set Up key until the text Timer 1 is displayed on the screen.
The Time Range controls the resolution of the first and second stages times only.
The first and second stage times can be set to
any number from 0.000 to 9.999 seconds when in “x.xxx” Range and from 00.00 to 99.99 seconds when in “xx.xx” Range. The
settings for Pro Timer 1 and for Pro Timer 2 do not have to be the same. However care should be taken to notice the decimal point
location when entering a stage time. To change a Timer Range press and hold the number
8
key until the decimal point moves to
desired location. The Range for Pro Timer 2 can only be set if the S.F.O. mode is set to 2, if the S.F.O. mode is set to any other
number other than 2, Pro Timer 2 will not be displayed. The S.F.O. can only be viewed and changed while in Bracket Mode.
Setting Pro Timer 1 and 2 Stage Times
To enter a new stage time for Pro Timer 1, which is displayed on Screen 2, or Pro Timer 2, which is displayed on Screen 3,
repeatedly press the Set Up key until the desired screen is displayed. Keep in mind that the screen for Pro Timer 2 will only be
displayed if the S.F.O. mode is 2 on the Bracket side. When either Pro Timer screen is first displayed, the selection arrows will be on
line 2 (Stage 2). This means that line 2 is selected, to change which line is selected use the Next key. Once the desired line has been
selected, press and release the Clear key. The selected display line will now be blank indicating the unit is ready to accept the new
time. Now using numerical keys enter the new time, leading zeros do not have to be entered. For example if a time of 00.50 for a
Stage 1 was desired and the Timer Range was set to xx.xx, 50 would be entered on the keypad. If less than four digits are entered for
a time, pressing the Next key will act as an enter key and the leading zeros will displayed on the LCD. As the numbers are entered
they are shown on the display, indicating the numbers are accepted and entered into memory. If a mistake is made while entering the
time, press and released the Clear key and reenter the time again.
The Scrolling Arrow keys can also be used to change stage time. First make sure that the selection arrows are on the line to
be changed. If not use the Next key to change which line is selected. Once the desired line has been selected pressing and releasing
the Up Arrow key will cause the time to increase by one. While pressing and releasing the Down Arrow key will cause the time to
decrease by one. If the Up Arrow key is held down the time will scroll up and if the Down Arrow key is held down the time will
scroll down.
Note: Entering all zeros into any stage turns that stage off.
Throttle Modes
The Throttle Modes for Pro Timer 1 and 2 are displayed on screens 2 and 3 respectively. Keep in mind that the S.F.O. mode
on the Bracket side must be 2 for Screen 3 to be viewable. The words “off on off on” or “on off on off” to the left of the stage times
indicate the two possible Throttle modes. To change the Throttle mode press and hold down the zero key. After about two seconds
the words “off on off on” or “on off on off” to the left of the stage times will toggle to the opposite setting. Once this takes place
release the Zero key, the Throttle mode has now been changed. Each time the Zero key is pressed, held and then released the Throttle
mode will switch between the two modes. To prevent an accidental switch between the two Throttle modes when entering a new
stage time, the Zero key will be disabled for two seconds after the fourth number is entered for the new stage time.
