Setting Dial-In Times

 

 

 

To set a new Dial-In time, press the 1 key, then check the location of arrows on the screen, press the 2ND key to 

move the arrows to the desired side of the screen you want to change.  Press the CLEAR key and the selected display side will 
go blank indicating the unit is ready to accept the new time.  Enter a new time using the numerical keys. If a mistake is made 
while entering the number, pressing the HELP key will erase the last digit entered.  This can be repeated as many times as 
necessary until the display is blank.  Pressing the HELP key while the screen is blank will restore the original number. Once 
the new number has been entered press the ENTER key to store in memory.

 

Setting Delay Times

 

 

 

 

To set a new Delay time into either Delay 1 or 2, press the 2 key.  Then follow the same procedure 

for entering a new number as instructed in setting new Dial-In times.  

 

Setting and Displaying the Delay 

 Tap Up/Down (Sub-Add) Information

 

 

 

To display the Tap Up/Down information, press the 3 key.  The Sub/Add information is shown to the right of the 

screen.  The left most digit shows the number of times the Tap Up/Down push-button was pressed.  The two right hand digits 
show the programmable time (0 to 99 thousands of a second) to be subtracted from or added to the delay time every time the 
Tap Up/Down push-button is pressed.  If a minus sign is present in front of the two digits, a subtraction from the delay time is 
done, a blank indicates adding to delay times.  To change the number, press the CLEAR key, and then enter the new number 
(0-.099).  To switch between the Sub or Add modes press the up or down arrow key, a minus sign represents tap down a blank 
means tap up. The tap value goes to the thousands so 10 on the screen represent 1 hundredth in value.  The Tap Up/Down will 
only affect the first delay time started. The tap mode can only be used in PB mode 1 or 3, if in PB Mode 2 the tap is turned off, 
shown on the screen by 4 dashes.  
 

 

Understanding the How Late

 

 

 

To display the How Late information, press the 3 key, the How Late information is shown to the left side of the 

screen.  If the Transbrake is released on Delay-2 (4-Digit) the left most digit will display a “2”, if not, it will be a “1”.  The 
remaining digits display the How Late time.  For example if the number displayed is “2.012” and your reaction time was .510 
on the time slip, add the How Late time to the .510 for a total reaction time of .522 on the crossover delay. 

NOTE: 

 

Both How Late and Tap Up/Down information are stored in memory until either a new number replaces the old one 

or the 2ND key is pressed, this will clear both to all zeros.  
 

Understanding the Driver’s Reaction Tester 

 

This new feature in delay boxes allows a driver using the buttons mounted in the vehicle to test their reaction time.  

This can also be used to test different kinds of buttons and locations that buttons are mounted in the vehicle for the quickest 
release possible. 
 

To select the Driver’s Reaction Tester, press the 7 key, everything on the screen will turn on, this can also be used to 

check for proper screen operation.  Once in Reaction Test Mode, if a push button connected to either PB. -1 or PB. -2 is 
pressed and held down, the screen will go blank.  After 2 seconds all eights will be shown on the screen, at which time the 
driver releases the push button being held.  The display will now show the amount of time from when the eights were 
displayed, to when the push button was released, this is the driver’s reaction time.  If the driver lets go of the button too soon, 
before the display turns on, dashes will be shown on the screen to indicate a red light.  If the driver does not let go of the 
button within .75 seconds after the eights are displayed, the display will show reaction time of all nines to indicate a missed 
light.  To exit the Driver’s Reaction Test Mode press any key on the keypad.  If neither P.B.-1 or P.B.-2 button is pressed; the 
unit will automatically exit the Driver’s Reaction Test Mode after 30 seconds.  Each time a push-button is pressed the 30-
second time period resets.

 

NOTE: 

When in the Driver’s Reaction Test Mode, the Transbrake solenoid will not be activated when a push button is 

pressed.  
 

 This is to prevent any damage to the solenoid from over heating.
