the speed is off a bit you need to check your own ‘timing’.  
When the first sensor is tripped the display will go blank.  
Once the second sensor is tripped you will see the scale speed 
displayed on the unit.   

25 

This example shows that the train (or finger) was doing  
25 Mph.  The speed will remain in the display until the sensor 
triggered again.  If this test works you are ready to start 
running trains!   
 
It should also be noted that the sensor pair will be disabled for 
about 2 seconds after the train has passed it before it will be 
able to measure another train’s speed.  This was done to avoid 
false triggering as the spaces between cars in a train cross the 
sensors. 
 

Error messages 

There are three error messages that can be displayed during 
normal operation.  If you get a display of Er.F it means that 
the train was moving faster then 999 mph. 

Er.F 

The message Er.S indicates that the train was moving slower 

then 1 mph. 

Er.S
