The two female connectors are for the wheel speed sensor and IR sensor.
They are both wired the same way:
Pin 1: Wheel speed sensor input
Pin 2: Sensor Ground
Pin 3: Sensor Power (+12V)
Pin 4: IR sensor input
The RPM signal input is normally connected to the ECU rpm signal and RPM ground to
ground somewhere close to the source of the RPM signal.
In the power/RPM cable, RPM signal is brown, Ground is white, Power is blue and RPM
ground is black.
2. LED display
The display is used to show both lap times and user selectable information. The lap timer
works like a conventional lap timer by showing the lap time in the right display and the
lap number in the left display when the car passes the IR beacon. However, after a few
seconds (this is programmable) the display switches to display user selectable
information. This is normally current-lap-vs.-best-lap-time-delta and speed (this can be
changed in Advanced setup, parameters P12 and P13).
3. Buttons
There are four buttons used to control and program the lap timer - Exit/Setup, Left
Mode/Down, Right Mode/Up and Lap Time/Next. The functionality of the buttons
depends on if the lap timer is in “street mode”, “track mode”, “lap review mode” or
“setup mode”.
If both Exit and Next are depressed for about 3 seconds the lap memory is erased and the
timer is reset. This will also erase any saved persistent predictive timing information.
4. Display modes
Street mode:
After power-on the unit will show firmware revision for a second and then the display
changes to become a digital dash, showing speed on the left display and RPM on the right
display. This mode is called “street mode”
Track mode
When a beacon hit is detected, the timer will enter “track mode”. In this mode the right
display will show current-lap-vs.-best-lap-time-delta, i.e. the time delta between the best
lap in the session and the current lap (this is described in more detail below), while the
left display shows speed. Every time the vehicle passes the beacon, the display will show
the lap time and lap number for 5 seconds and then return to show best time delta and
speed. (All this assumes default values in advance setup, see Advance setup below.)
The user can at any point enter lap review mode or setup mode as described below. The
unit will return to normal display when a beacon hit is detected or when the Exit button is
pressed.
Setup mode:
Setup mode is used to set timer parameters specific to the vehicle and beacon. Setup
mode is entered by pressing the Exit/Setup button for about 1 second. When setup mode
is entered, the left display will show P1 and the right display will show the data value for
parameter 1. In setup mode, the Up and Down buttons are used to increase or decrease
the parameter data value, the Next button will move to the next parameter value and the
Exit button will exit setup mode. The Up and Down buttons will repeat (at an increasing
rate) if held down for more than a second.
The lap timer is still running while in setup mode so it’s possible to change a parameter
while the timer is running.
5. Setup parameters
The current lap vs. best lap time delta display will show how the vehicle is doing on the
current lap compared to the best lap in the session. It’s doing this by comparing the
current lap timing with recorded information from the best lap. The first time after
passing the beacon, the timer will start record timing information as reference data.
During this time the display will show -.-- indicating that it’s in recording mode. For
subsequent laps, the time for the current lap is continuously compared to the recorded
time information and the difference is shown on the display. If the current time is better
(i.e. less) than the recorded time (indicated by a - sign on the display), then that time will
become the new reference time for subsequent laps. The display is updated
approximately every 60 feet of vehicle travel. The recorded reference time information
is lost when the power is turned off (unless persistent predictive timing is enabled, see
Advanced setup, parameter P15), i.e. each session will start with generating new
reference data.
The lap times stored in memory can be erased by pressing the Exit button and Next
button for three seconds. This will also erase any saved persistent predictive timing
information.
