6 • DTS-1 TIMING SYSTEM
Starting Line Console Setup
1 Place the DTS-1 Starting Line Console on the starting line. The second
beam is the actual start line.
2. The console must sit as flat and secure as possible without rocking on
an uneven surface.
3. LED’s produce a directional light beam. Raise the tree and position it so
that the LEDs are shining directly at you when you are at your driving
position behind the start line.
4. Fold out the antenna so that it points towards the finish line.
Finish Line Console Setup
1. Install the console ramp by inserting the
ramp’s hinge pins into the console as shown
and rotating it into proper position. The
ramp is there to prevent a vehicle from a
direct impact with the Finish Line Console.
2. Use a tape measure or measuring wheel to mark of the track distance
you wish to run. See the chart on page 5.
3. Position the Finish Line Console so that the second beam (farthest
beam) shines across the finish line. It should sit on level ground as flat
and secure as possible without rocking on an uneven surface.
4. For maximum race accuracy, make sure both consoles are directly in
line as shown.
5. Make sure to leave adequate room past the finish line for you to safely
decelerate and stop your vehicle.
Linking the Starting and Finish Line Consoles
Switch the Starting Line Console and Finish Line Console on. It does not
matter which is turned on first. As the components electronically link, the
yellow LEDs on the consoles will light in a ‘rotating’ pattern. When the
link is complete, the 2 green LEDs on the Starting Line Console will flash
