KEY 0
The
[0] PRINT
key is used to print a timeslip.
KEY 1
Pressing
[1] ET
on the keypad will recall the
last race elapsed time.
KEY 2
Pressing
[2] RUN
on the keypad will reset the
timer to make a new run.
KEY 3
Pressing
[3] [RF]
on the keypad will cause
connected T-Link units to monitor the RF signal
integrity. The display will show
[-rF-] [S0--0F]
.
The left zero is the start line and the right zero
is the finish line. The digits on the display will
begin to count up as signals are received from the
T-Link units on the track. 0 displayed represents
0%, 1 represents 10%, 2 represents 20% etc.
until a dash appears representing 100%. This is
an indication of the consistency of the RF signal
integrity. If this number jumps around, there is a
high level of interference in the area. If the number
remains high, the RF signal integrity is very
good. If the number remains low, the RF signal is
somewhat weak. The position of the T-Links and
their antennas can be moved to optimize the RF
Integrity level. This key is enabled when operating
in T-Link wireless mode.
KEY 5
Pressing
[5] [ALIGN]
on the keypad in
hard-wired mode will enter alignment mode.
The Status Display momentarily indicates the
position on each sensor on the display with letters
represent each emitter/sensor pair
[S----F]
with
the SF blinking.
The
[S]
indicates the START
emitter/sensor pair, the
[F]
indicates the FINISH
line emitter/sensor pair. The Status Display then
changes each digit to a zero for each sensor being
monitored
[S0--0F]
. If the Beam Emitter and
Track Sensor are operating properly and aligned,
the 0 digit will not change. If the Beam Emitter
and Track Sensor are not properly aligned, the
0 digit for each emitter/sensor pair will count
slowly if slightly out of alignment or continuously
if they are not functioning properly or way out
of alignment. Once the emitter/sensor pair are
aligned properly, the digit will stop counting.
KEY 6
Press and release the
[6] BATT
key to
monitor the Battery Level of the T-Links on the
track indicated by
[-bAtt-]
[S9--8F]
. The digits
represent ‘A’ sensor (Start) and ‘B’ sensor (Finish).
The digits will be replaced by the percentage of
battery power remaining. 0 for 0%, 1 for 10%,
2 for 20%, etc and a dash for 100%. The ‘b’ will
be blinking. This key is enabled when operating
in T-Link Wireless mode.
KEY 8
Press the
[8] CONFIG
key on the keypad to
enter the system configuration mode, the console
displays
[LF] [ 12 ]
(Upper/Lower displays) and
the user is prompted for the number of line feeds
(blinking digit) to add to the end of the timeslip
to properly eject the timeslip for tearoff. Enter
the number of line feeds required and press the
[#] ENTER key to confirm. Next
[AutoPr] [
1 ]
will show the number of timeslip copies to
automatically print each time a race ends; press a
number on the keypad (0-9) for desired number
of copies; press
[#] ENTER
to save.
