ROPING (3)
Accidental Timer Stop
If the timer is accidentally stopped during the middle
of a run,
the rider can still be accurately timed by
pressing the RESTART button. (The timer continues
timing even when stopped.) As long as RESTART is
pressed before the ride is completed, no time is lost.
Previous Time Recall
Use the PREV and NEXT keys to scan back and forth
through previous times. Broken barriers, “No Times”,
and penalties (if entered) are all saved.
The previous time display is removed after about ten
seconds, or by pressing any other key. You may view
a previous time even while the timer is running.
No Time
To record a “No Time,” press the NO TIME button
after stopping the timer. The message “No Time” is
displayed, and if using the optional printer, a “No
Time” message is printed. The “No Time” is also
displayed whenever the rider's time is recalled later.
Penalties
Entering a Penalty
To enter a penalty, press the SCORE/PENALTY but-
ton. To accept the default penalty that is shown, press
ENTER, otherwise, key in a new penalty, followed by
the ENTER button. (Note: pressing the decimal point
button moves the input cursor to the right of the
decimal. However,
zeros to the right of the decimal
do not need to be entered ).
After the penalty is entered, the Time display is up-
dated to include the penalty. The Status display shows
the original time and the penalty value. If a score-
board is connected, it shows the time including
penalty. If a printer is connected, an additional line is
printed showing the penalty and time with penalty.
Correcting Mistakes
To correct a mistake while entering a penalty, press
and hold down the CLEAR TIME button until the
timer beeps and the penalty value is cleared to zero
(about one second).
If ENTER has already been pressed, simply start the
penalty entry process over – the new entry replaces
the previous penalty.
Practice Mode
In the Practice Mode of the Roping event, the timer
stops itself after about three seconds to let you prac-
tice against the barrier without needing someone to
stop the timer. To select the roping practice mode:
1) Press SETUP to access Setup options.
2) Press NEXT CHOICE until
Practice Mode
is
displayed and then press ENTER.
The timer remains in practice mode until the timer is
turned off or you re-select the Roping event as de-
tailed on the first page.
Breakout Timer for Practice
The Breakout Timer of the Sprint/General event may
be more suitable for practice than the “main” break-
out timer described previously. The breakout timer of
the
Sprint/General event leaves the breakout time on
the main timer display and on the scoreboard so you
can more easily view the breakout time after each run.
See page 3 of the
Sprint/General event in this manual
for details.
