REMOTE CONTROL
4.1
Remote control tuning
The
FA-07
recognises only one infrared remote control device at a time. The remote
control provided has been pre-tuned before sale.
To tune a remote control simply connect it via the proper cable to the “
Infrared
Remote Control
” connector located on the back of the
FA-07
. Two black telephone
cables are provided (1.3m and 10m) with RJ-10 (4P4C) jacks.
4.2
Remote control operation modes
4.2.1 Operation via infrared
Infrared rays are effective at a distance of over 20m. To tune the remote control see
the previous chapter.
4.2.2 Operation via cable
The use of the remote control via cable is required in certain important
competitions: to connect the remote control use the black 10m long telephone
cable.
4.2.3 Operation with safety range function
In certain important competitions a safety system is required to avoid effectuating
the wrong command by mistakenly pressing the remote control keys. To enable this
safety system you can programme the
FA-07
to accept remote control commands
only when 2 specific keys are pressed: first the [
Alt-2
] key, and then, while the
[
Alt-2
] key remains pressed, the function key desired. For example, to effectuate a
1-minute pause, instead of pressing only the [
PAUSE
_
1
_
min
] key, you would
simultaneously press the [
Alt-2
] + [
PAUSE
_
1
_
min
] keys.
The [
START
_
STOP
_
TIME
] key will continue to work as usual, without the use of the
[
Alt-2
] key, to allow you to immediately stop the chronometer.
The white keys, which require simultaneously pressing the [
Alt-1
] key, do not
require the [
Alt-2
] key to be pressed.
The safety range function of the remote control is enabled by following
programming step P.03: select “Block Remote Control = YES” (see chapter 5.2).
Remember to unblock this function at the end of the competition, otherwise future
users who are not familiar with or who do not remember this function might assume that the remote control is not working
properly.
4.3
Remote control indications
There are 2 red lights on the remote control (see Fig. 5):
•
Transmission light : signals each transmission. If it does not switch on, the remote
control is either broken or its battery is discharged.
•
Recharging light : when the remote control is connected to the
FA-07
by way of
cable, the battery is also charged. The recharging light switches off when the
battery has been completely charged.
•
Low battery indication : if the battery of the remote control is low the message
“
Remote control
battery low
” will appear on the
FA-07
’s graphic display panel.
4.4
Functions of remote control keys
The following is a list of functions of the various keys on the remote control. Here
the “
safety range function
” is deactivated, as described in chapter 4.2.3. Some functions require that the [
Alt-1
] key be
pressed. In such cases the [
Alt-1
] key must be held down while the desired function key is simultaneously pressed.
Please be aware that many functions can be effectuated only if the chronometer is in STOP position .
[
START
_
STOP
_
TIME
]: starts and stops the chronometer.
[

]: effectuates manual rearmament.
