#1 Allows you to set the date and time.

#2 Starts the data logging facility, it will store the Time (HHMMSS), Wind speed, Direction and Score (170119,05,276,03) the memory is large enough to store 75 hours data 2,70,000 seconds to be precise, that said you will find it very tedious to upload all this data, so we recommend that you use the "Stop Log" whenever you stand down for any reason.

#3 WARNING Clear Memory is exactly what it says....It will delete the data stored in the recorder memory! It will NOT change any programme selections you have made.

This function is protected, a pass number is required to clear the memory.

We recommend uploading the data from the data log at the end of every round if practicable, that way you can produce a text file / CSV file, you can import this directly into a spreadsheet programme and print a full set of results. Uploading the data file will NOT delete the contents of the memory all further data will be appended, no data will be lost.

DO NOT use the "CLEAR MEMORY" function until the competition is completed!

#4 Calibrate Wind Direction - Each system is supplied fully calibrated, you can check the vane calibration at any time you wish..

To recalibrate; Look at the LCD display; Ignore the large red LED display. Move and Hold the fin of the wind sensor so that you get 1, the minimum reading on the LCD display. Keep watching the LCD screen reading. Press ENT Move the fin to 360 i.e. the maximum reading on the display. Hold it there. Press ENT. Press ESC. That's it.

#5 Diagnose Port - This function is to allows us to help you to find out if anything is wrong with your system or connections.

#6 Set Display Time - This feature allows you to set the time the LED display will show the score; If your only using the 00-16cm pad, an 8-10 second interval will be fine, if you're using the large 1.4m pad as a rear foot strike pad. you might like to set the delay for 12 seconds or more. If your using the system in training mode with the large pad you can set the delay for as long as you need.

#7 Select 16cm or 50cm as the missed score function. Every time the "Missed Score" button is operated it shows the score on the LED display and inserts a missed score of either 16 or 50 into the data log.

#8 Calibrate wind speed anemometer.

#9 Enable / Disable CISM scoring mode. When CISM mode is selected, the first line of LCD display will show * between Date and Time. CISM scoring is effective only in COMPETITION mode. N.B. MISSED TARGET button in CISM mode will change score from 16-17-18-19-16...

The Main Data Score Display

2. Unpack the Display system and all cables.

3. Using the 30m wind sensor cable, mark the location for the 7m mast.

4. Using a small pad, verify the cable length to centre of the tuffet.

5. Mount the display unit onto the transit case and orientate to the event judge requirements.

6. Connect the 12v battery.

7. Connect the optional mains power supply. *

8. Connect the remote hand control reset cable. Make certain that the hand control “D” connector is tightly connected to the hand control unit.
