SET-UP STEPS - 3220 SERIES
STEP 1 -
Familiarize yourself with the components pictured in this manual and how they interconnect. The Track Sensor Interconnect Cable is configured for connection between the a Sensors, Win Lights and timer console at the finish line with a tail for a Start Sensor.
All connectors are keyed for proper orientation. The 12VDC battery is connected with the RED alligator clip to plus (+) terminal of the battery and the BLACK alligator clip to
The free standing, battery powered Model 5042 IR Beam Emitter is placed on the centerline of the track at the finish line and the Model 5140 IR Track Sensors are placed on the outsides at the finish line. The Track Sensor units are interchangeable with each other. The Track Sensor Cable is keyed to match the Lane 1 and Lane 2 track sensor positions and marked at the end of the cable (see cable diagram)
STEP 2 -
Identify the emitter/sensor placement at the finish line. The lane width should be set between four (4) and fifty (50) feet. To help in determining initial Beam Emitter to Track Sensor alignment in larger track widths, use a string stretched between the beam emitter and track sensor or eyeball a straight line between units.

STEP 3 -
Layout the Track Sensor Interconnect Cables on the track site (see cable diagram). The large round connector connects to the console and the two smaller connectors (RJ11) connect to the Track Sensors at the finish line as indicated on the cable near the RJ11 connector. Install the Emit- ter and Sensors in the Foam Stands; connect the
