Troubleshooting

Problem One of my timing units does not power up.
Solution 1 All units require you to press and hold the power button for at
least 2 seconds to initiate the power up sequence.
Solution 2 Check the battery. The units will warn of a low battery by a
red flashing LED on the TCi-PhotoGate A or B. The TCi-Smart Start will
show "Lo" on power up . The TCi-Timer has a low battery symbol on the
LCD. The units work for up to 20 more hours and 5 for the TCi-Timer
with a low battery. If the unit will not turn on, check for dead battery.
See page 20 on how to replace batteries.
Problem My timing system is setup correctly, but the TCi-Timer won't
receive a signal.
Solution Check to see if all the system components are on the same radio
frequency. See FREQ on page 12.
Problem I occasionally miss signals.
Solution 1 For long range setups see RSSI on page 12.
Solution 2 Setup the TCi-PhotoGate A or B and set the TCi-Timer to the
RSSI mode. Trigger the TCi-PhotoGate while the TCi-Timer is in close
range. The RSSI reading should be about (95-114). If the RSSI reading
is close to 65 then the frequency channels are not matched correctly. See
page 12. If the RSSI reading is below 65 then the radio might be bad or an
antenna is broken.
Problem My touch-pad is correctly installed, but doesn't beep when I
press it or beeps multiple times when I press it.
Solution Your touch-pad is worn out, order a new one. (60 day warranty,
$39 replacement)

Multiple System Setup

Up to five TCi systems can be used in the same area by using one of five
different radio frequency channels.
The TCi-Timer, TC-Display, TCi-Smart Start, and all TCi-PhotoGates
must be set to the same frequency.
TCi-Timer: Use the Mode button to scroll to the FREQ option. Select 0-4
TCi-PhotoGates: Remove the aluminum case. Locate the blue
switch panel and shift a lever.
TCi-Smart Start: when turning the system on, hold the on/off
button until "FrE" displays on the screen. Select 0-4 then press Enter
TC-Display: Remove two small screws from the side of the display. Pull
the end cap out of the metal casing. Locate the blue switch panel and shift
a lever. (All switches up is FREQ 0)
More than one switch cannot be down at the same time.
Note: To avoid confusion mark each component on the outside with it's
frequency.
