  • Page 8: Operating

    The TdC 8000 has a built in rechargeable-NiCad-battery-pack (4.5 Ah). Charge the NiCad-battery-pack with the NLG8 or a 12 Volt car-battery. The charging voltage must be between 11 and 16 Volts. To load the TdC 8000 you need to turn it on. 2.1.1.

  • Page 9: External Battery (12 V Car Battery)

    The voltage is 5,8 Volt If the voltage is 5.8 Volt it switches the TdC 8000 in a power down mode. This is necessary to save the memory. As soon as you supply the TdC 8000 with the NLG8 or a 12 Volt Battery you can continue to work.

    018--5. Photocell with Battery (2 core cable): You can use any channel of the TdC 8000 with the banana plugs. For show jumping you need channel 0 (Start = green) and channel 1 (finish = red). The second wire you have always to plug at any of the black bananasockets.
  • Page 13 (battery into the photocell) Plug cable 027-02 at the photocell. From this cable you can go to the TdC 8000 with a 2-wire cable (e.g. cable real KT 500 or KT 300).
  • Page 14 TdC 8000 for Equestrian Page 14 Photocell with Impulse Transmutation by Radio: It is possible to transmit the photocell impulse by radio. We recommend mainly for equestrian to use this method, since the start and finish changes quite often. When using cable it is very difficult to lay them in a way that it is no danger for the horses and people.
  • Page 15 TdC 8000 for Equestrian Page 15 Start and Finish as well as Jump Off Finish at different places: You need to have three different radio transmitter (one for start, one for finish, and one for the finish of jump off) and one radio receiver (at the timing device). If you want (or need) to switch each photocell separate on and off you can use instead of cable 004-05 the adapter 125-06.
