Chronograph User Manual v1.0.3

Revised October 31, 2016

Thanks for your purchase of the Chronograph pedalboard clock! The Chronograph was purpose-designed to be

compact, versatile, user friendly, and good looking to boot! If you have any suggestions for how we can improve

any of our products, feel free to contact us through our website

or directly by email.

We genuinely hope you enjoy each purchase you make!

The Chronograph requires less than 100mA of current @ 9VDC, with a center negative power cable. This is the

same type of connection commonly used on effects pedals. The Chronograph is fully compatible with both

isolated and daisy chain style power supplies. However, we do not recommend using it with daisy chain style

supplies due to the likelihood of digital noise being coupled into your guitar signal. Do not attempt to run your

pedal at more than 9 volts DC. After power is applied to the DC Jack you will be greeted by the message "DSGE

Chronograph" and the current time will be displayed shortly afterwards. If you need to change the clock, the

instructions are on page 3 under the Setup Menu section.

Quick Start

In most cases tapping the footswitch will change or increment a parameter and holding the footswitch will

accept the parameter. The biggest exception is the main menu. You must hold the footswitch to advance to the

next main menu option. This prevents you from inadvertently tapping the footswitch while doing other things

on your pedalboard, which would change modes when you don't intend to. Keep reading for detailed

instructions on each feature the Chronograph has to offer.

Page 2 Hold the footswitch again to exit countdown timer mode. The display will begin to continuously flash as a warning when the timer goes below a certain threshold. By default this value is 1 minute. Boot the Chronograph in Setup mode to change this value. Stopwatch Mode After selecting Stopwatch Mode the display should read “00:00”.
Page 3: Replacing The Battery
Replacing the Battery The Chronograph draws an extremely low amount of current from the battery when it’s not powered externally. Of course it will have to be replaced occasionally, but we expect each battery to last up to 10 years. The battery part number is CR2032, which is a relatively common 3V coin cell type.
