IMPORTANT NOTES

Ø The display screen goes blank after a period of

inactivity in order to save power.

The timer is still switched on, and timing will be

started as normal.

Starting the timer or pressing ZERO or any of the

keypad buttons will activate the screen.

Ø Although the heads are designed for outdoor use,

the timer is not, and must not get wet.

Glossary: see page 28 if you are unfamiliar with any terms

used in this booklet.

Conventions: TEXT SHOWN THUS indicates a control button or

key on the timer, or a connector on the rear of the

timer.

Text shown thus indicates a message shown on

the timer screen.

Getting Started

Before use the timer (and the wire-free heads) should be charged for 24 hours. One charger will charge

the timer and two heads all at the same time. To charge, plug the charger lead into the CHARGE socket on

the rear of the timer. The red light next to the socket will come on.

To open the timer case, pull the top of the catch towards you.

When the timer lid is opened, the aerial socket is in the top right edge of the lid and the aerial is clipped

inside the lid. Insert the aerial into the socket if wire-free gates are to be used. Do not lose the aerial as

replacements are expensive.

Press the ZERO button to switch the timer on.

A Welcome menu will appear. The novice user is advised to press the 1 key, which will program the timer

for standard Show Jumping timing.

Adjust the CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS until a clear display is obtained.

The timer can be controlled manually using the START, STOP and ZERO buttons (the timer must be

stopped before it can be zeroed).

For automatic timing first set up the gates as described on page 14.

Pull the START GATE switch towards you (to arm the start gate) as the competitor approaches the start

line. The timer will start when the competitor breaks the start beam.

Pull the FINISH GATE switch towards you (to arm the finish gate) as the competitor approaches the finish

line. The timer will stop when the competitor breaks the start beam.

To switch the timer off, press the OFF key.

The Timer Screen

In menu mode, the screen displays a list of settings and the particular

option selected for each setting.

In timing mode, the screen is divided into four areas, as illustrated:

Settings bar: this shows some of the settings that have been

selected for the current timing mode.

Time display: this shows the competition time.

Status bar: this shows warnings if the timer battery is low, or

if the public display or fastest time display are

switched off. It also shows the current gate

channel.

Information area: this shows additional information specific to the

current timing mode.

The top and bottom items show different things for each mode.

Special Features of the Timer

Gate Memory

Normally the start or finish gate must be armed before a competitor crossing the beam will start or stop

the timer.

A gate is armed by pulling the START GATE or FINISH GATE switch towards you. The gate is disarmed by

pushing the switch away from you. The red SET lamp lights when a gate is armed.

The timer is designed to give a correct time even if a competitor passes the start or finish with the gate

accidentally not armed. In these circumstances a buzzer will sound for 10 seconds. If, during this time, the

MEMORY button is pressed, the timer will start from the time the start beam was crossed, or will stop from

the time the finish beam was crossed, as appropriate.

If this is not required, do nothing - at the end of the 10 seconds the buzzer will stop. Or you may press

ZERO to cancel the buzzer.

This facility can be switched off, or the 10 second period can be changed to 5 or 20 seconds using the

menu (see p 19).

There is no gate memory in Countback, Marathon or Polo modes.

Bell

The timer incorporates an electronic ‘bell’ that can be connected to a public address system to provide an

audible warning to competitors. Eight different sounds are available, and the signal can be adjusted for

different amplifier requirements.

To ‘ring’ the bell:

Press the BELL key on the timer.

Press the BELL button on the remote console if one is available.

Press the COUNTDOWN button on the remote console if one is available.

The bell can be sounded automatically in these circumstances:

{Bell mode: in the main menu must first be set to Auto}

Show Jumping 45s topscore competitions - at the end of 45 seconds (see p 5).

Show Jumping 60s topscore competitions - at the end of 60 seconds (see p 5).

Polo timing - at the end of extra time, or if the stop button is pressed during extra time (see p 10).

Countback timing - when the timer has reached zero (see p 11).

To make the bell to sound automatically:

Press the MENU key.

Press

five times so that Bell mode: is highlighted.

Press

until Auto is shown.

Press ENT.

To change the sound of the ‘bell’:

Press the MENU key.

Press

six times so that Bell sound: is highlighted.

Press

until the desired sound is shown.

Press ENT.

To change the output signal:

Press the MENU key.

Press

seven times so that Bell output: is highlighted.

Press

until the desired type of output is shown.

Press ENT.

{Line is suitable for connecting to the ‘line’ or ‘aux’ socket on an amplifier,

Mic is suitable for connecting to the ‘microphone’ socket on an amplifier,

Relay is suitable for operating an external bell or ‘traffic lights’ (see p 25).

Bell Mode Setting

This has different effects in different timing modes. The setting is automatically changed to the default

value each time the timing mode is changed.

You must alter the 'Bell mode' setting after changing the timing mode if you do not want to use the

default setting.

Show Jumping:

Normal setting

An external bell button will not start the countdown timer. Use the yellow BELL button on the

timer or the yellow COUNTDOWN button on the remote console.

In two phase competitions if there are faults in phase 1, the timer will continue to time phase 2.

Phase 2 must be stopped manually by pressing the F:A button.

For topscore competitions the buzzer in the timer will sound at the end of the 45 or 60 seconds, but

the bell must be rung manually.

Auto setting

An external bell button will start the countdown timer (if countdown is enabled).

In two phase competitions if there are faults in phase 1, the timer will not start phase 2.

For topscore competitions the bell will sound automatically at the end of the 45 or 60 seconds.

The default setting is Normal.

Polo and Countback modes:

Normal setting

At the end of the competition the buzzer in the timer will sound but the bell must be rung manually.

Auto setting

At the end of the competition the bell will sound automatically.

The default setting is Auto

Show Jumping - Normal Competitions

Standard Timing

Press the ZERO button to switch the timer on.

The simplest way to program the timer for straightforward show jumping timing is to press 1 when the

Welcome menu is displayed. This is displayed when the timer is first switched on and can be recalled at

any time by pressing MENU followed by CLR.

Set up the gates (see p 14).

If wire-free gates are used, make sure the aerial that is clipped inside the lid of the timer is plugged into

the socket on the top right edge of the timer lid. The timer must be set to the same channel as the heads.

All the standard timing functions are available using the START, STOP and ZERO buttons and the GATE

switches.

The timer will automatically start from zero if it is triggered by the start gate or by the MEMORY button.

If you are starting the timer manually with the START button you must zero the timer manually.

It is best to zero the timer first in any case.

Public display. This normally shows the time, but a menu option allows it to show the competitor

number before the timer starts, and then show the time once it has started (see p 19).

Slave display. Menu options (see p19) allow it to show:

The competitor number before the timer starts, and then show the time once it has started.

The fastest time (including time penalties).

The competitor number (left) and the jumping faults (right).

Switching off the timer will loose some data (fastest time and last competitor’s time, for example).

The timer will automatically switch to the power saving standby mode after a period if it is not actually

running. There is usually no need to switch off until the end of the day. To switch off, press the OFF key.

Single Gate Operation

A single gate can be used for start and finish. The head must be set up as a start head. Only the start gate

BEAM lamp will operate, the finish BEAM lamp will light permanently.

The gates are armed as though there were two gates.

Topscore Competitions

For Topscore competitions, a buzzer will sound after 45 or 60 seconds. The bell can be selected to sound.

To select Topscore:

First make sure that you are in Show Jumping mode.

Press the SET CLASS key.

Press

twice so that Competition: is highlighted.

Press

until the correct Topscore option is shown.

Press ENT.

To make the bell to sound automatically:

Press the MENU key.

Press

five times so that Bell mode: is highlighted.

Press

until Auto is shown.

Press ENT.

Countdown Timer

The countdown timer starts at 45 seconds and counts down to zero. If the competitor has not crossed the

start beam by that time, the timer is started automatically.

This setting also determines whether time penalties are added to the time shown on the screen and

the public display.

To enable the countdown timer:

First make sure that you are in Show Jumping mode.

Press the SET CLASS key.

Press

three times so that Countdown: is highlighted.

Press

until the correct countdown option is shown.

Press ENT.

To start the countdown timer:

The countdown is started when the yellow bell key on the timer is pressed. The timer must be set to

zero first - if it is not, a warning will sound and the countdown will not be started.

If remote buttons (see page 16) are attached to the timer, the countdown can be started by pressing

the remote COUNTDOWN button. In this case it is not necessary to zero the timer first.

If a remote bell button is attached to the timer it can be used to start the countdown, but only if

Bell mode: on the main menu is set to Auto (this is not the usual setting). The timer must be set

to zero first - if it is not, a warning will sound and the countdown will not be started.

If the countdown timer is started in error, it can be cancelled by pressing ZERO.

The countdown timer can be interrupted using the STOP and START buttons, but pressing START when

the countdown is running will cancel the countdown and start timing proper.

Normally, during the countdown period, the display shows the countdown time with a preceding minus

sign. If the 45 second period ends during the start memory period, the public display is blanked until

either the MEMORY button is pressed or the memory period ends. The correct time is then displayed.

Fault Calculation

The timer will calculate time faults automatically and will record total time and faults for compiling a

results list that can be viewed later (see p 13). For the results list to be meaningful, a class number should

be entered for each competition, and the date setting (see p 12) should be correct.

To set the class number:

First make sure that you are in Show Jumping mode.

Press the SET CLASS key.

With Class: highlighted, key in the class number.

Press ENT.

To set the allowed time and fault rate:

First make sure that you are in Show Jumping mode.

Press the SET CLASS key.

Press

until Allowed time: (called Phase 2 time: for two phase competitions) is highlighted.

Key in the allowed time.

Press

until Faults rate: is highlighted.

Press

until the correct fault rate is shown.

Press ENT.

For two phase competitions, repeat for the phase 1 allowed time and fault rate.
