RaceAmerica Model 6632E Display Timer
OPERATION
Enter the Run Mode by pressing the push-
button, the display shows a progressive sequence
of dashes
[-----]
, then the timer blanks everything
except the decimal point and colon for the selected
format
[__:__._]
indicating it is ready to time a
run. When an object breaks the start beam, the
timer will immediately begin to count live and
display the elapsed time. When an object breaks
the finish beam, the timer freezes the elapsed
time. Press the push-button to reset the timer for
another run.
Both sensors are checked for proper alignment
before the timer is reset and allowed to start. If
either or both sensors are out of alignment, the
display will show
[-S-F-]
with the non-aligned
sensor position letter flashing. Go to Align Mode
(press and hold the button), correct the problem,
exit align and start the next run.
MAINTENANCE
The 6632 Series Display Timer, Beam
Emitters, and Track Sensors require minimal
maintenance.
Periodically clean off the red acrylic front of
the display with a soft wet rag; be careful not to
scratch the surface with dust or sand which may
be on the front or in the rag.
To insure uninterruptted operation on
raceday, it is suggested to keep track of battery
usage hours so as to have fully charged batteries.
Plan to replace the alkaline AA cells in the Beam
Emitters after about 60 hours use. If you are
using rechargeable AA cells, recharge them each
day. Low battery voltage (Emitters ≤4.2V DC)
will cause intermittent operation of the system
resulting in intermittent detections at the starting
line or the finish line as the batteries power
weakens.
To maintain the highest level of timing
accuracy and minimize false trips, annual
preventative maintenance and calibration should
be performed on all system track sensors and beam
emitter units.
SPARE PARTS
Further to minimize race program
interruptions, RaceAmerica recommends some
spare parts. A spare emitter/sensor pair and end
of track cable sections should be available in the
event of an unfortunate accident during a program.
Contact RaceAmerica for availability and pricing
of spares items.
