the alignment status of each electric eye. When an
electric eye is aligned, its eye number is displayed. If
not aligned, an “x” is displayed.

Important!
When setting up the electric eyes, always take time to align the eyes as outlined above –
even if the
timer indicates the eyes are aligned.
This ensures a strong alignment instead of a possibly marginal alignment.
Timer Operation
1) The timer displays the most recently completed
phase (
POWER
PHASE
or
SPEED
PHASE
) on the
bottom display. It does not matter which phase is
displayed before a rider starts – breaking Eye #1
will always start timing of the power phase.
2) Sound the horn and start a count down by pressing
the COUNT DOWN button. Once started, the
count down can be paused / resumed with succes-
sive presses of the COUNT DOWN button. Press
CLEAR TIME to start a new count.
3) Make sure the electric eyes are enabled by press-
ing the EYES ON button before the rider is ready
to cross the start line. When the rider crosses Eye
#1, the timer begins timing from zero and the eyes
are automatically turned back off.
4) If jumping faults occur, press the NO TIME but-
ton to prevent timing of the Speed Phase. Press
NO TIME again to turn jumping faults back off.
5) As the rider nears the end of the power phase of
the course, press the EYES ON button to re-
enable the electric eyes. If the rider crosses Eye #2
before expiration of the power phase and with no
jumping faults, timing of the speed phase begins
automatically. The rider’s power phase time is
shown on the timer’s Status display. If a score-
board is connected, it shows the power phase time
for several seconds before reverting to the running
time of the speed phase.
6) As the rider comes to the end of the speed phase,
press the EYES ON button to re-enable the elec-
tric eyes. When Eye #3 is crossed, the timer stops
and the eyes are automatically turned back off. If
the rider's time exceeds the time allowed, time
faults are shown on the timer’s Status display. At
twice the speed phase course time, the timer
automatically stops and sounds the horn.
Useful Features
Dislodged Jump
If a rider dislodges a jump, sound the horn by press-
ing the HORN button and stop the clock by pressing
the START/STOP button. Press RESTART (
not
the
START/STOP
key
) to resume timing.
Previous Time Recall
Use the PREV and NEXT keys to scan back and forth
through previous times, time faults and the associated
phase are also shown.
Accidental Beam Break
If an electric eye accidentally stops the timer, the
rider can still be accurately timed. Pressing the
RESTART button resumes timing as if the timer had
never been stopped. (
Note
: If the timer is manually
stopped using the START/STOP button, RESTART
resumes timing from the time shown on the display)
Setup Options

further information.
Duration of the starting count down timer can be
changed using the
