‘heart beat’) indicating proper operation. Most
software has an alignment function which can be
utilized for alignment status.
The wireless SBD Timer requires a PC with
data capture or race management software to
publish the race results.
USING WIN LIGHTS
Optional Win Lights can be connected to T-
Link Wireless units ID’A’ and ID ‘B’ using cable
part number 05-5826.
When the Win Lights are not indicating a
winning lane they are continuously waiting for
the first beam to be blocked. Once a finish is
detected, the Win Light for that lane will flash
for 10 seconds, then clear automatically and
return to idle state waiting for the next beam to
be blocked.
USING PC SOFTWARE
Locate the T-Link unit identified as ID ‘Z’.
Locate the T-Port connector on the back of the
T-Link unit. Connect this T-Port to a 9-pin serial
PC port using the 06-TL02 data communications
cable. Power on ID ‘Z’ and observe the right LED
illuminates and blinks off, then on very quickly
appearing as a flicker. If ID ‘Z’ is the only T-Link
powered on, no other LEDs will illuminate. When
other T-Links are powered on, the center LED
will flash when a wireless signal is received from
another T-Link unit. The left LED will flash very
quickly indicating ID ‘Z’ is receiving a good signal
from other T-Links.
Install the PC Software, configure the software
for the PC COM port receiving the data; use the
software ‘Help’ sections as required.
