Front Panel Controls
1.
Power switch:
Turns on the timer. When in the on position, the display backlight will come on and the
company, model identification, and version number will appear on the display for four seconds.
2.
Start:
Starts timing in both single and multiple timer mode. Can also be used to restart the timer after the
last split time has ended in single timer mode.
3.
Stop 1-4:
Stops timing in all modes. In single timer mode, the stop button pushed will be identified on
the display. If split times are being used, a stop button can only be pressed once per time cycle. This is to
prevent loss of split time data. Once the final split time is recorded (master time stopped), then the start
button can be used to restart the timer and any stop can be used any number of times. The split times will
remain on the screen with only the final time being updated.
4.
Scroll:
Active in multiple timer mode only. It will shift the display from showing the
master time
and r
un/
count1
to showing
run/count2
. Also note that since scroll is enabled, the
stop1
button on the front panel
can not be used to stop the master timer in multiple timer mode.
5.
Mode:
Sets up the timer for single timer operation or multiple timer operation. To prevent accidental loss
of data, the timer must be reset before the mode menu can be entered. If single timer operation is selected,
the timer will give a prompt for the desired number of split times. This prompt will be skipped if multiple
timer operation is selected because split timing is not available in multiple timer mode. The timer will also
configure the back panel inputs to sense normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) switches. The menu
will step through all seven inputs, but can be ended at any time by selecting
end
from the menu. All back
panel inputs default to normally open when the timer is turned on. However, the inputs are not reset to
default when changing modes. Also note that when in multiple timer mode, the settings for
stop1
and
stop2
, become
run1
and
run2
.
6.
Reset:
Clears all time registers to zero and sets display to its initial state. To prevent accidental loss of data,
the master timer must be stopped before a reset can occur. If the timer is timing, the reset button will
function as
stop3
.
7.
Run/Cnt:
Activates running for as long as the button is held down. Also increments counter by one for each
time the button is pushed. This button can be used in either mode to run the master timer and accumulate
counts. If the master timer is timing (start button pushed) then the
run/count
on the front panel will function
as
stop4
. After a stop button is pushed, the timer can not run or count until reset is pressed. However, the
timer can be started at any time even if run times or counts have been accumulated.
