POWER-ON/SELF-TEST
Connecting the power to the TREE turns
on the system and places the RaceAmerica 2650
Series Timer into a self-test of the microprocessor
circuitry, and the 'Christmas' Tree. This is an
internal test as well as a visual check of the TREE
lights. The upper/lower console displays will
show [trEE] [tESt 1] thru [trEE] [tESt 5] as the
self-test progresses. The upper console display
shows the product model number [ 2650 ] and the
lower display shows the code revision level [A.00]
contained within the microprocessor.
The TREE sequences through a lamp test and
circuitry test by illuminating the left red lamp and
stepping up through the green and yellows, Stage
and Pre-stage (Pre-Stage TREE only) on the left
side, then on the right side to Stage and Pre-stage
(Pre-Stage TREE). This repeats rapidly and then
all lamps are flashed once to conclude the self-test.
When the tree has completed the self-test display,
the system is fully functional and ready for final
configuration and setup. If the lights do not follow
this sequence or some lights were not illuminated,
check for insufficient power, defective bulbs or
bad cable connections.
At the conclusion of the self-test, press the
ENTER (#) key to display the Stage status screen
(Fig 5). This is a graphic showing the Pre-Stage

and Stage light positions for both lanes at the top
of the TREE. If the Pre-Stage track electronics
option is not installed in the system, the Pre-Stage
lights will be on until they are reconfigured by the
system. Once the system has powered up, the Pre-
Stage and Stage sensors are active and indicate a
vehicle present when blocked or misaligned.

KEYPAD FUNCTIONING
The console keypad utilizes dual function
keys. All functions shown in white function when
pressed; functions shown in yellow require the

the desired function key is pressed.
NAVIGATING TIMER MENUS
The XL Advanced Timer Console has two
configuration menus:
The [*4 SYSTEM] System menu includes
Test sensors at start, Printer setup, Speed Trap
configuration and Timeslip Print Header -
functions rarely changed during an event.
The [*8 CONFIG] Configuration menu
includes Tree operation and ET/Total Time
selection - settings likely to change each race or
class.
The selections made in these menus are
