KEYBOARD DESCRIPTION
ON F R 0Ã 9 # . E1 E2 Red keys (2 x) Green Key (1 et 2)
To switch on the device, (POWER ON). Press ON for 3 to 5 seconds (find POWER OFF through the MENU). Enter and go out of the MENU. Recall of memorized times for identification (RECALL). "E1" at start or "E2" at finish. RESET of the CP 520 to zero in sequential mode. Enter time-of-day, a bib N°, a RUN or a TIME (INSERT). False entry (cancellation of what you entered). Validation or confirmation in the MENU. Validation of the access to the various sub-menus. Validation (or confirmation) of a time or bib N° in the recall function R. Confirm a bib N° entered for a start. Confirm a bib N° entered for a finish. Key DOWN : To explore the Menu and memorized times. To disidentify a bib N° expected at the start. Key UP: To explore the Menu and memorized times. To disidentify a bib N° ready to start. Block or unblock the external inputs (INPUT 1 and INPUT 2). Blocked = black bars (- - -) on the LCD display. Manual keys for timing impulses or to start the time (SYNCHRO).

BACK CONNECTIONS DESCRIPTION
INPUTS 1 & 2
Inputs for timing impulses. Working contact without potential (short circuit or open collector). Ex: Manual contactor (HL 18) or photocell HL 2-31 / 2-35). Respect the polarities! RS 232 / 9'600 baud data output. For ON LINE or OFF LINE connection to a PC. To drive a DISPLAY to show net and running times (HL 960 / HL 990 / HL 965). For an external power supply by: Adapter HL 520-1 (110 ÷ 220 VAC / 12 VDC) or 12V batteries via our connection cable HL 520-8. Auxiliary Input for: START / STOP / RESTART. Start of the time, stop and restart it again (i.e. Horse jumping) or RESET (Resets the CP 520 to zero).
COMPUTER
POWER
ST / SP / RS
Caution !
The START / STOP / RESTART and RESET functions are possible only with a synchronization at zero (for the SYNCHRO, the START function is always activated).

START UP OF THE CP 520
3.1
Batteries installation  Batteries replacement To open the battery cover, you can help you with your thumbs by strongly pushing it in the direction of the arrow. Introduce the batteries by respecting the polarities indicated at the bottom of the compartment.
3.2
Control if the paper capacity is still sufficient To change the paper roll, refer to chapter 7 - CHANGING OF THE PAPER ROLL.
3.3
Switch on the CP 520 in pressing the key ON for 3 to 5 seconds Two possibilities: either the printer is not activated and the CP 520 does not print (point 3.3.1), or it is activated and the CP 520 prints (point 3.3.2). 3.3.1 The CP 520 does not print: The display indicates: CP5 2 0 PRESS TO CHECK P ARAME T E R S . OR # TO CONT I NUE
You can visualize the parameters in pressing and or continue directly in pressing #. Press #. The display indicates: ENT ER T I ME FOR SYNCHRO 00:00 If you wish to use the printer, make sure the batteries are in good state. To switch on the printer, enter in the menu in pressing F and select PRINTER using the , confirm with #. Select PRINTER ON, press #. The CP 520 prints "PRINTER ON". The display indicates again: ENT ER T I ME FOR SYNCHRO 00:00 Please, continue in following the Point 3.4 Â Synchronization (SYNCHRO).

START UP OF THE CP 520 (continued)
3.3.2
The CP 520 prints The memorized parameters used for the last timekeeping as well as the N° of the new run and the remaining memory capacity. The display indicates: ENT ER T I ME FOR SYNCHRO 00:00
IMPORTANT !
The CP 520 default setting is in NET TIME mode. We advise to follow the start of the CP 520 in this mode in order to well understand the different CP 520 functions ! ...at this point, you can: Enter in the Menu to change parameters (PARAMETERS) or / and Clear the memory  all precedent runs will be cancelled, the timing will restart with RUN Nr 1 (CLEAR MEMORY) or / and To change the TIMING MODE (consult the menu description on page 17  confirm every selection with #).
If necessary
3.4
Synchronization (SYNCHRO)
The time can be started from 00:00 or with the time-of-day. Therefore, you must: Insert the desired time (or 00:00 for a start at zero) and confirm with # When the display indicates " READY FOR SYNCHRO ", give an impulse on INPUT 1 or INPUT 2, manually or by the external inputs. Caution!! unblock the external inputs to receive the impulses (unblocking = red keys). You are now ready to start your timekeeping !!

NET TIME MODE (default setting)
Registration of start and finish times with competitor N°'s (alpine ski, cross-country, rally, etc). If your device is not in NET TIME mode (see the timing sleeve), we advise you to configure it now: When the display indicates ENTER TIME FOR SYNCHRO, press F. Select TIMING MODE and confirm with # ; select NET TIME and confirm with #. Select the desired precision for the net time result (ex. 1/100th for Alpine Ski  refer to definition programmable in the chapter 9  TECHNICAL SPECIFCATIONS). Select your needed numbering mode at the start (NUMBERING): AUTOMATIC UP this option automatically presents bib numbers at the start in sequential order, or MANUAL if race start numbers will appear in random order. Proceed to the synchronization ( see point point 3.4 ).
CAUTION !
If the synchronization (SYNCHRO) has been carried out before the Timing mode selection, you must create a NEW RUN in the menu F.

Keyboard shortcuts of the NET TIME mode Keyboard shortcut: N° + E1 N° + E2 + E1 Explanation: To enter or change a bib N° expected at the start. To enter or change a bib N° expected at the finish. To disidentify the last bib N°(s) started (ex: False impulse(s) received at the start). The supposed bib N° started is ready to start again. Its previous time is disidentified (Â). To disidentify the last bib N°(s) finished. (ex: False impulse(s) received at the finish). The supposed bib N° finished is back in the race. Its previous time is disidentified (Â). Start times without bib N° Finish times without the bib N° To RECALL unidentified or disidentified start time(s) (memorized times) To RECALL unidentified or disidentified finish time(s) (memorized times) To RECALL a start time for a bib N° (for modification or cancellation) To RECALL a finish time for a bib N° (for modification or cancellation) Direct ranking You also find also these information at the back of your CP 520 !

Keyboard shortcuts explanation The bib N° expected at the start or at the finish is not correct: Enter the new N° and confirm with the key E1 (start) or E2 (finish) False starts or False Finishes ( false impulses or wrong N°'s, i.e. ): Disidentify the last bib N°(s) started with + E1 or finished by + E2 Recall unidentified start or finish time(s) (memorized times) with R + E1 (start) or R + E2 (finish) Identify all times with the related bib N°(s) The N° 0 cancels the considered time(s) The bib N°'s at the start or at the cannot be identified (mass finish for ex.): Press for the start time(s) or for the finish time (s) The times are memorized and can be recalled for identification with R + E1 (starts) or with R + E2 (finishes) Modification of the bib N°'s already started or already finished: Recall the bib N° started or finished that you want to modify with N° + R + E1 (starts) or with N° + R + E2 (finishes) Follow the LCD indications The modified time of the competitor is disidentified (-) This time is then registered in the memorized time(s) Abort of a competitor (DNF): N° + R + 0 : Quick function to cancel the start time of a bib N° to be aborted (C) Disqualification of a competitor (DSQ): N° + R + 0 : Quick function to cancel the start and the finish time of a bib N° to be disqualified (C)
IMPORTANT !
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)
