Fig 7 - The Timer AC4 Console contains a four line display for display of lap/run times, the cur-
rent mode of operation of the timer, comfirms detection of a car by the Track Sensors, Emitter/Sen-
sor alignment and used for configuration menu promps and selections.
POWER ON/SELF-TEST
Connecting the 12VDC power source places
the RaceAmerica Timer AC4 into a self-test of the
microprocessor circuitry and LED displays (Light
Emitting Diode). This is an internal test as well as
a visual check of each display. The four line dis-
play sequences an [8] digit through each segment
of all lines. The four line display then sequences
through the product number and the code revision
level coned within the timer.
At the end of the power-up sequence, the
system automatically detects which mode is se-
lected making the available displays and functions
available.
When the sensor(s) are hard wired and ON,
one column of dots at the right edge of each dis-
play line will flash periodically if they are properly
aligned.
When the 'Z' unit is ON and connected to the
timer, one column of dots at the right edge of each
display line will double flash periodically.
