The Push-buttons for Pro Mode
The push-button connected to the P.B. 1 terminal controls the Delay time. The P.B. 2 terminal functions only as a by-pass
push-button when in Pro Mode. The Tap Up P.B. is only used to set the S.L.E if being used. The Tap Down P.B. will also set the
S.L.E. if being used and will work as P.T.S.O. down track if desired. The L.L. P.B. (Line Lock push-button) can only be used to
control the Line Locks solenoids (S.F.O. Mode must be set to 3).
The Outputs for Pro Mode
When the push-button, connected to P.B.1, is depressed and held, the Trans terminal will go to 12VDC and the Transbrake
solenoid will engage and the words “Transbrake On” will be displayed on the screen. When the yellow lights on the tree come on, the
push-button is released and the Elite 500 will start counting down the delay time. When the delay count down reaches zero the
Transbrake will release and the words “Transbrake On” will be removed from the display.
Stage 1, of Pro Timers 1, starts counting down when the Transbrake is released. When the Stage 1 count down reaches zero,
the T-stop terminal will change to the opposite voltage state. This means the Terminal will go from “Off” (0VDC) to “On” (12VDC)
or from “On” (12VDC) to “Off” (0VDC) depending on the Throttle mode setting. The Stage 2 time also starts counting down when
the Stage 1 time reaches zero. The T-stop terminal will stay in this opposite voltage state for the amount of time entered in Stage 2 of
Pro Timer 1. When the Stage 2 is done, the T-stop terminal will again change voltage states. The Stage 3 time also starts counting
down when the Stage 2 time reaches zero. The T-stop terminal will stay in this voltage state for the amount of time entered in Stage 3
of Pro Timer 1. When the Stage 3 is done, the T-stop terminal will again change voltage states for the amount of time in Stage 4.
When Stage 4 is done the T-stop terminal will again change voltage states completing the timing of Pro Timer 1. If Stage 3 is set to
zero, Pro Timer 1 will be complete at the end of Stage 2. Any time during the operation of the Pro Timer 1, from when the
Transbrake releases to the completion of Pro Timer 1, the Programmable Throttle Stop Override (P.T.S.O.) can be used. The P.T.S.O.
only works with Pro Timer 1.
Pro Timer 2 works the same as Pro Timer 1 with two exceptions. The output for Pro Timer 2 is the S.F.O. terminal, which
must be enabled (S.F.O. mode set to 2) and the P.T.S.O. has no effect on Pro Timer 2.
The Shift controller also starts with the release of the Transbrake. This means the count down of the all the shift times will
start at the release of the Transbrake. When a shift time count reaches zero, the shift terminal will change to its opposite voltage state.
Meaning the Shift terminal will go from either 0VDC to 12VDC or from 12VDC to 0VDC depending on the Shift Output Mode
setting. The Shift Terminal will return to the normal state three tenths of a second after changing to the opposite state. This
completes a Shift on time.
Pro S.F.O. Settings
When in Pro Mode the
S.F.O
. works the same as in Bracket Mode and is explained in
Understanding the S.F.O.
With one
exception, which is if the S.F.O. mode is set to 1 (S.L.E.). Only the Pro S.L.E. setting of 22.22 will work. If the S.L.E. is set to any
other number, the S.L.E. will automatically be turned off when in Pro Mode.
Understanding Bracket Mode
When the Elite 500 is in Bracket Mode the Pro Mode is turned off. However all of the settings for the Pro Mode are saved in
memory for when you go back to Pro Mode. Bracket Mode has a main screen that displays the Dial-ins and the Delays (you can
access this screen by pressing the BRKT key at any time). While in bracket mode you can go through several “set up” screens by
pressing the Set Up key. These “set up” screens allow access to all of the additional features that the Elite 500 has to offer. Some of
these additional features are, the ability to tap up or tap down, to take two hits at the tree, enter a programmable starting line enhancer
time, shift up to five times on time, and to select one or two push-buttons to start the delay times. The Driver’s Reaction Tester is the
only screen between Bracket Mode and Pro Mode that is the same. This means that the Driver’s Reaction Tester will work the same
in either mode.
Understanding the Dial-ins and Delays
The Bracket Screen displays both of the Dial-in times and both of the Delay times. These four time settings are used to
control how long the Transbrake solenoid stays engaged after the push-button is released. The main feature here is the ability to
Crossover, to go off the opponent’s top yellow light if you are the faster vehicle. The Elite 500 always does a subtraction of Your
Dial-in time from Their Dial-in time. If the result is greater than zero it’s added to Delay 1. This new combined time of Delay 1 plus
the difference of the Dial-ins is called the Crossover time. When a push-button connected to the P.B. 1 terminal is pressed the
Transbrake will engage and the words “Transbrake On” will be displayed on the screen.
