RaceAmerica 5820 Wireless SBD Timer
OPERATION
When the SBD Timer is set up and aligned
with T-Links, it is time to race. The system allows
ten seconds (10 sec) after the first finish to allow
the second racer to finish before reseing. Upon
completion of the race, the winning lane and
differential and/or ET will display on the PC (XX.
XXX) an/or the LED Display.
After each race, the timer is locked out for
ten seconds to allow dirt and dust to settle.
USING SPARE T-LINKS
T-Link identifier codes are preset at the
factory. Using an external Reconfig Jumper
provided with the backup T-link unit, a T-Link’s
ID code can be changed enabling a single backup
unit to replace any unit with the same optimizer
code. With the 5820C T-Link, a spare ID ‘Z’ unit
can be reconfigured as an ID ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’ unit.
To temporarily change the ID code of a T-Link
unit, power the unit off. Select the Reconfig
Jumper with the desired ID code and install into
the T-Port of the T-Link unit to be reconfigured.
Power on the T-Link unit. The left LED will flash
three short times to confirm the T-Link unit has
been reconfigured to the new ID code. Unplug
the Reconfig Jumper and connect any cables to
the T-Link unit for normal use. Do not power
off the T-Link unit after a new ID code has been
assigned. The change of ID is temporary. When
the T-Link unit is powered off, the ID code will
revert back to the preset ID shown on the bottom
of the T-Link unit.
BATTERY CHARGE
Charge the batteries using the external charger
unit provided by RaceAmerica. All functional
electronics are disabled during battery recharge
to avoid damage. Typically battery charging will
take 12 hours. The charger indicator LED will turn
from red to green when charging is complete.
