SYSTEM SETUP
every 4 seconds and the console will beep. On the Finish Line Console the
lower right yellow LED (When facing the top of the unit) will flash every 4
seconds to indicate that the power is on and the unit is linked and ready.
The consoles will continue to link indefinitely until a link is established.
Note: The consoles may link so quickly that you do not see the “rotating”
yellow LEDs, and the green LEDs will light instantly.
Beam Setup
Stage Beam Reflector Setup
1. Two reflectors are used at the starting line, one for each lane. Space
the reflectors 2 to 3 feet away from the Starting Line Console, straight
out from the laser apertures. Position the reflectors so they are parallel
with the consoles.
2. Enter Beam Setup Mode on the Starting Line Console by
pressing and holding the OPTION button until two
beeps are heard. Release the button.
3. The Starting Line tree’s two green and two yellow LEDs
will flash until the pre-stage beams (green LEDs) and
the stage/start line beams (yellow LEDS) are
aligned with the reflector. (If the LEDs are not
flashing, the beams are already aligned.) Adjust
the position of the reflector to align with the
beams until the console beeps, indicating it
“sees” the reflector. Stop moving the reflector. The console will then
emit a “rising” success tone and the LEDs for that lane will light solid to
confirm the beam is properly aligned. Repeat for the other lane. Do not
look directly into the laser aperture. Note: If you have difficulty aligning
any of the beams, or the unit presents a slow-flashing LED to indicate there
is too much background light, see Beam Alignment Tips on page 8.
Finish Beam Reflector Setup
1. There are two beams at the finish line. The first beam is the speed trap
beam. The second beam is the finish line. Four reflectors are used at the
finish line, two for each lane. Space the reflectors between 10-14 feet
away from the Finish Line Console, straight out from the laser apertures.
Position the reflectors so they are parallel with the consoles.
2. Enter Beam Setup Mode on the Finish Line Console
by pressing and holding the SET button until two
beeps are heard. Release the button.
3. The Finish Line Console will flash a yellow LED for
the Lane 1 speed trap beam. Adjust the position
of the reflector to align with the beam until the
console beeps, indicating it “sees” the reflector.
Stop moving the reflector. The console will
then emit a “rising” success tone and the LEDs for
that beam will light solid to confirm the beam is
properly aligned.
