The CP 520 allows to accept the same bib number several times at the start and at the finish. The times taken into account in the ranking will be the last recorded times. At each start, the previous time will be disidentified (-), and at each finish, the previous time will be cancelled (C) Page 9 4. NET TIME MODE (continued) 4.5 Rankings in the NET TIME mode In order to obtain the desired ranking of your race, you should well organize your different runs. Find herewith an alpine ski race example: RUN Nr 1 RUN Nr 2 RUN Nr 3 RUN Nr 4 Women's run 1 Men's run 1 Women's run 2 Men's run 2 In the race described above, you have the possibility to obtain the various following classifications: DIRECT RANKING RANKING RUN Nr ONE RUN TWO RUNS For a provisional ranking or at the end of the run in progress. For a ranking of any run: For a unique ranking. When the display indicates RUN Nr, enter the number of the desired run and confirm with #. For a ranking of two added runs. When the display indicates 1st RUN and 2nd RUN, enter the number of the first run (in our example, for the ranking of the men's race: run 2) and confirm with #, then, enter the second run number (in our example: run 4) and confirm with #. Of course it is only possible to make the total time of two runs if the competitors N°'s are in the two considered runs. CAUTION ! Page 10 4. NET TIME MODE (continued) 4.6 Mass starts or by groups The mass or group starts can be given by a start impulse on the external input INPUT 1 (starting gate, gun, manual contactor...) or at a predefined time-of-day. Start impulse Select the NET TIME ­ MANUAL mode, insert n° 1 at the start (1 + E1) and make it go (impulse), enter in the menu (F) and select DUPLICATE (confirm with #), use START NR if the n°'s to be duplicated are in a random order, or START GRP if they are in a chronological order, duplicate with the started competitor n° (n° 1 in our example). Predefined time Select the NET TIME ­ MANUAL mode, enter in the menu (F) and select INSERT TIME (with #), select START to insert a starting time, enter n° 1 and confirm with # (the n° 1 will be the first started competitor of the group), enter the start time of n° 1 and confirm with #, press on F, to quit INSERT TIME and another time to re-enter in the principal menu, go to DUPLICATE, use START NR if the n°'s to be duplicated are in a random order, or START GRP if they are in a chronological order, duplicate related to the started competitor n° (n° 1 in our example). CAUTION ! The predefined start times must be in reference with the official time-of-day of your CP 520 ! Page 11 5. REAL TIME MODE The REAL TIME mode of the CP 520 includes 3 timing modes: SEQUENTIAL START ­ FINISH Sequential counting of the timing impulses. Start at zero or at the time-ofday. Please consult point 5.1 ­ REAL TIME ­ SEQUENTIAL. This mode is similar to the NET TIME mode. The difference is in the results calculation. Please consult the point 5.2 ­ REAL TIME ­ START / FINISH. This timing mode allows many uses. Before all, it is especially reserved for circuit races with lap times control of several competitors. Please consult the point 5.3 ­ REAL TIME ­ LAP TIME. LAP TIME Each of the 3 REAL TIME modes offers several applications. Below, we give you an outline of the possibilities of each mode and its applications. 5.1 SEQUENTIAL This mode proposes a synchronization at 00:00 or at time-of-day. According to the time of synchronization, various possibilities exist: Synchro at 00:00 It is possible to restart the device at zero or to stop and start again time only if the synchronization has been done at 00:00! Select START / STOP / RS in PARAMETERS ­ AUX. INPUT to be able to stop and restart the time again (jumping). Select RESET ACTIVE to be able to RESET the device at zero by pressing the key R. It is also possible to do an external RESET with the Input ST / SP / RS which can be programmed via the menu PARAMETERS (AUX INPUT-EXT. RESET). Synchro at the time-of-day Do the synchronization at the desired time-of-day. The SEQUENTIAL mode includes 3 different functions: SPLIT Start at zero and finishes (athletics, popular races, jumping, etc). If Reset to zero in pressing the key R (RESET ACTIVE) if wished. Timing at time-of-day for start and finish time registration (official timing sleeve when you work with a PC or make race protocols). SPLIT ­ LAP Start at zero or at time-of-day. Lap time for two competitors with counting of the number of laps (partial and net times, lap time for 2 competitors, jumping). Start at zero or at time-of-day. Lap times for two competitors with counting of the number of laps. LAP Page 12 5. REAL TIME MODE (continued) 5.2 START / FINISH This mode is similar to the NET TIME mode. The difference is in the results calculation (please, consult PROGRAMMABLE DEFINITION in technical specifications). 5.3 LAP TIME This timing mode allows for many applications. It is mainly reserved for the circuit races with the lap control for several competitors. For example, it is possible to: identify an impulse already received with the help of the short cut R + E1 (or E2). identify the competitor n° before its crossing n° + E1 (or E2). Calculations of the lap times are then automatically done, even for previous unidentified times ! Several rankings can be printed in the LAP TIME mode: DIRECT RANKING DIRECT LISTING RANKING RUN Nr LISTING RUN Nr Best competitor lap time ranking of the current run. Listing of a competitors'lap times in chronological order of the current run. Best competitor lap time ranking of a previous run. Listing of a competitors'lap times in chronological order of any run. SPECIAL APPLICATION ! When the function RECALL (R) is carried out for the first time, it is possible to remain in this one and to identify the received impulses on one or the other of the two inputs! Once identified the last memorized time, the device returns in its normal operating mode. Page 13 6. DESCRIPTION DU MENU Press F to enter in the menu,. To select the desired menu, move by using the and , then, confirm with #. Read the LCD! POWER OFF Switch off the device. TIMING MODE Select the timing mode and the precision: NET TIME REAL TIME For starts and finishes (alpine ski, rally, cross-country, etc). for the sequential modes (parallel slalom), starts and finishes (autocross) as well as the lap time. See the menu structure on page 16 and the technical specifications of chapter 8, page 20. DIRECT RANKING A direct ranking of the current RUN can be obtained any time during the race. RANKING RUN Nr. Ranking of a RUN or by addition of two RUNS. DUPLICATE Recall of a bib N° to duplicate one or several other(s) competitor(s) at its start or finish time (START N° / FINISH N°). Same principle as for the MASS START. Insert a start or a finish time for a bib N°. INSERT TIME NEW RUN Creation of a new RUN. (When or if the previous RUN is finished) PRINTER Printer ON or OFF. CLEAR MEMORY Clear the memory or check the remaining memory capacity. When you start a timing and you don't need to keep preceding runs in memory, you can make a CLEAR MEMORY (this option is possible before or after synchronization). DOWNLOAD Download of one or of all memorized RUNS to the printer (take care at the paper roll capacity) or to a PC (OUTPUT COMPUTER ­ in OFF LINE mode). Page 14 6.

CHANGING THE PAPER ROLL It is very easy to change it as long as you use it until the end (capacity of approximately 5000 times). A red zone announces the end of paper. The change can also be carried out during the timing (even in emergency when there is no more paper) as the times memorized during the replacement are going to be printed on the new paper roll. Before the end of the paper Enter the MENU, select PRINTER in OFF position. As soon as the change is carried out, don't forget to put again the PRINTER in ON position. When there is no more paper The printer is automatically switched off. It will print again automatically as soon as the new paper roll will be in place. We recommend the first method. However, we advise you to change the paper roll before your timing! Open the paper compartment To open the paper compartment, you can help you with your thumbs to slide it at the back of the device. To slide it back, place the cover well flat, 3÷4mm behind its closing position. Caution! The paper roll is firmly maintained by two lateral " half-moons " to prevent that this one does not move or unwind itself. To remove a finished paper roll: Pull out the central part of the paper roll backwards to extract it as well as the paper that is still engaged in the printer. Page 17 7. CHANGING THE PAPER ROLL (continued) To insert a new paper roll: Unroll a few centimeters of paper until its surface is clean. Cut it perpendicularly. Put the paper roll at the back of the device (See drawing). Introduce the paper under the cylindrical paper driver. Maintain a light pressure on the paper, press the paper feed (). Ensure a good guidance of the paper. Put the paper roll in its compartment and strongly push it downwards. You will feel a click as soon as the paper roll will find its housing. To extract a paper roll partially started: Turn the paper roll to release a little bit of paper. Extract 3 to 4 cm of paper. Firmly hold the unrolled paper with your index finger and thumbs on each side. Pull it vertically Page 18 8. AUTONOMY - SPECIAL SITUATIONS We advise the use of good quality batteries. The autonomy can change a lot depending on the type of batteries. The tests carried out below refers to impulses given every 6 seconds in REAL TIME mode SEQUENTIAL SPILT. Number of impulses at: Energizer. Alkaline standard Energizer. Alkaline Titanium (New) Duracell. Alkaline ULTRA m3 Energizer. LITHIUM (expensive) 0°C (32°F) 1'000 2'500 2'500 12' 000 20C° (68°F) 5'000 11'000 11'000 16'000 The CP 520 is delivered with Energizer TITANIUM batteries Use in low temperatures The CP 520 is able to print until temperatures close to ­ 25°C! However, it is necessary to use an external power supply to take advantage of a sufficient autonomy. We advise the use of a simple battery lead (ref. HL 520-8 accumulator 2.1 Ah delivered with charger and carry-bag). The autonomy is guaranteed at least for 1 day (at -20°C). The CP 520 printer Equipped with an electronic control in order to save batteries when those are used. New batteries ­ Fast print speed. Used batteries ­ Print speed reduced by 4 times. Flat batteries ­ Printing of LOW BATT and printer off. When the printer is off , you can switch it on again (menu PRINTER / ON) only if you have an external power supply connected. The change batteries can also be done after the timekeeping (timing information will be keep in the memory!). The print speed is reduced when you switch the CP 520 on. If the batteries state is good, the printing switch automatically in fast mode. Caution ! Maximum consumption when a long ranking is required, be sure of the good state of the batteries. Page 19 Memorized information The CP 520 is equipped with a small accumulator in order to save memorized information even if you temporarily extract the batteries. It is recommended to leave batteries in the CP 520 if you wish to save information in memory. If the accumulator is partially or completely discharged, it is possible that the Chronoprinter does not work correctly any more, in this case, use the " RESET" function described below. To recharge a discharged accumulator, it is necessary to leave the CP 520 working during 14 hours with its internal batteries or external power supply. This can happen after having removed the batteries for a long period. When you will switch the CP 520 on, all default settings are memorized. Special functions To reset the CP 520, press on key 0 when you switch the device on. Page 20 9.
