PortaTree TIMING SYSTEMS V3.6 & 4.0 - Manual (Page 7)

Eliminator is displaying S UP S UP waiting for you to stage. At this time you can
change to :
PRO/FULL TREE, _ USERS, or you can change from AUTO/MANUAL START.
In test track mode, the Eliminator is locked in manual reset. If you select MANUAL
START, then you must depress the START button on the face of the computer to begin
the tree sequence. If you use AUTOMATIC START, we suggest that you adjust the
fixed delay to 5 or more seconds. You will be able to prestage and stage separately and
when using the VRT Hookup and Dual Red Light, you will actually get 2 red lights when
practicing if you leave too early.
NOTE: Remember, in test track mode, rollout is from the vehicle rolling out of the
stage beam, so there is zero rollout from the Eliminator.
THE ELIMINATOR DELAY BOXES --- HOW TO USE
The top switches on the Eliminator are the DELAY LEFT and the DELAY
RIGHT. These switches can be used to simulate a delay box in each lane. By depressing
the DELAY LEFT, you will see: 0 . 0 0 0 only on the left side of the screen. In order to
set the delay box, you can depress the UP or the DOWN switch. The numbers will
revolve in the same manner as the rollout settings described under SETUP. The delay
box is set at 0 . 000 seconds at the factory and will be retained when the Eliminator is
powered down. You can zero out the delay box by depressing the reset switch.
You must depress the START switch to continue practicing. If you depress
DELAY RIGHT, you will see: 0 .000 only on the right side of the screen. If you would
like to try the delay box , set the timer at 1 .000 seconds. If you still have a .32 second
rollout in the setup program, you should release the stage button as soon as you see the
top amber light illuminate on a .500 full tree. The delay box delay is added to the rollout
delay and the additional one (1) second delay will give you the same time required as if
you left on the last amber light with no delay in the delay box. You can adjust the delay
box to best suit your release and consistency for the best possible light. The delay box
can be changed round to round to fine tune your reaction time. You can quickly go back
into practice by depressing the START button after you have changed the delay box
setting.
WIN LIGHTS
After each practice session, the computer flashes the top staging lights to indicate a
win in the lane that has the better reaction time without red lighting. The first player to
red light gives an automatic green light to the opposite lane. During a handicap tree
sequence if the first user red lights, the second user will automatically get a green light,
even if the reaction time number in the second users lane is worse than the first user.
Remember that the first offender gets the red light.
