How to set up special configurations of START and
STOP functions
You can use multiple IR Beams as START/FINISH Line Beams.
Additional parts are required. Use standard telephone style “Y” adaptors
to connect multiple beams to the “Y”. Contact us and we can supply
exactly what you need.
Breaking the START/FINISH Beam to start the timer will lock out all other
beams for as long as the DELAY time (default is 3 seconds), or until the
START/RESET
button is pushed.
Once the timer stops, always record the displayed time promptly. When
the countdown timer reaches Zero (if it’s set), if a START Beam is broken,
the timer will reset to Zero and start. No need to manually reset for each
competitor.
Hints:
The SportTIMER-3000 is a high accuracy (1/1000ths. second) timer.
When using the manual
START/RESET
pushbutton to operate the timer,
the timer starts upon
RELEASE
of the button. You can either press and
quickly release the botton, or for greater accuracy, press and hold it in,
and then release at the correct moment. Similar to a two-stage trigger on
a sharpshooter’s rifle.
You may start the next event any time after the clock has been stopped
and the time is recorded.
The number one cause of problems with our systems is the failure to
change the batteries. The batteries in our units can last an exceptionally
long time, but it is wise to have spares available should they need to be
changed. For best results always use
9 Volt Alkaline Batteries Only
.
Do not store the units for long periods of time (2 months or longer) with
the batteries installed. Batteries can discharge and leak, damaging the
units.
Avoid, if possible having the Receiver (Black Box) pointing directly or on
the same plane as bright sunlight. This will cause premature stopping of
the Display Time, should the receiver not stay in contact with the
transmitter by blinding sunlight.
Important Hint.
When aligning the Transmitter and Receiver if you are using an adjustable
tripod, tilt the Receiver (Black Box) up until the light on the back of the
Receiver flashes then down until it starts to flash then adjust the vertical
height in the middle of these two setting and the light is on solid. Adjust
the horizontal the same way moving the Receiver left and right until the
light on the back of the Receiver flashes then adjust the tripod to achieve
the centering of the beam with the Transmitter and the light is on solid.
This procedure assure that Beam is centered between the Receiver and
Transmitter.
Note:
Gate width in excess of 120 Feet is possible but care must be taken
that the batteries in both the Display and Transmitter are fairly fresh. Use
Alkaline Batteries Only, and check the expiry dates!
DON’T RISK YOUR EVENT. ALWAYS USE FRESH
BATTERIES!!!
