Lap Timing; Enter Key - FarmTek Polaris Operating Instructions Manual

Preparation for Use
1) Attach each electric eye to a quick-mount. Place
the eyes on opposite sides of the track to form a
start/stop line between them.
2) Turn the electric eyes ON. The power indicator
lamp on each unit should glow steadily. If the
lamp blinks, the low battery should be replaced.
3) Align the electric eyes. The electric eye on the
opposite side of the arena should be directly in-
line when sighting down either line on top of the
electric eye (left to right alignment), and when
sighting down the crack on the side of the eye (up
and down alignment).
4) Turn on the timer console in the announcer's
booth. The power switch is located at the upper
right corner of the timer.
Entering a Track Length
The timer can compute lap speed as well as lap time.
To compute speed, a track length must be entered.
Once the track length is entered, it is permanently
saved in the timer. You do not need to re-enter the
track length each time you use the timer, unless a
different track length is desired.
To set the track length follow these steps:
1) With the timer stopped, press the SETUP button
to access the timer's setup features.
