The Display also has two diagnostic modes.
Alignment Mode - set DIP switches 1,4, 5 & 6 to

will show #S--F# where S is Start, F is Finish
and the adjacent # is a number. Alignment is
accomplished when the numbers stop counting.
Five digit models have only one center dash.
RF Integrity/Battery Level Mode - set DIP
switches 1, 4 & 5 OFF, switch 6 ON; turn on
power and the display will show -rF_b- where rF
integrity is displayed by the digit to the left and
b indicates the battery level for the ID 'C' Speed
Trap T-Link unit is the digit to the right. In both
cases, a dash (-) indicates 100%, '9' indicates 90%,
'8' indicates 80% and so on. The system should
operate well at '7' or above for both parameters.
USING PC CAPTURE SOFTWARE
Locate the T-Link unit identified as ID 'Z'.
Locate the T-Port connector on the back of the
T-Link unit. Connect this T-Port to a 9-pin serial
PC port using the 06-TL02 data communications
cable. Power on ID 'Z' and observe the right LED
illuminates and blinks off, then on very quickly
appearing as a flicker. If ID 'Z' is the only T-Link
powered on, no other LEDs will illuminate. When
other T-Links are powered on, the center LED
will flash when a wireless signal is received from
another T-Link unit. The left LED will flash very
quickly indicating ID 'Z' is receiving a good signal
from other T-Links.
Install the PC Capture Software, configure the
software for the PC COM port receiving the data;
use the software 'Help' sections as required.
OPERATION
When the speed trap is set up and aligned
with either a Large Display or PC to capture data,
it is time to make a pass. The vehicle can pass
through the speed trap in either direction. As the
vehicle breaks the first beam, a '_' dash appears
in the first position indicating a sensor trip. Five
digit models display a'*' dot between the second
