BASIC FUNCTIONS:
The CED8000 can be turned on or off by pressing (and holding) the “CLEAR” button (marked
with On / Off symbol) located on the front panel of the timer, for a “one second” duration. It is
recommended that the Timer be turned off when not in use to conserve battery power. The
CED8000 is designed to automatically shut-off after approximately thirty minutes if no
input is received. The LCD will blank-out, but no loss of recorded input will occur. The user
can re-activate the timer by pressing (and holding for one second) the "CLEAR" button.
The CED8000 is automatically set in "Comstock" Mode. The International IPSC Rule book
describes this as: 9.2.2 "Comstock": Unlimited time stops on the last shot, unlimited number of
shots to be fired, stipulated number of hits per target to count for score.
To use the CED8000, simply turn on the Timer and press one of the two "START" buttons to
activate it. A buzzer will sound, (after a three second fixed delay) while simultaneously
starting the clock. Each shot fired will register on the LCD display and continue to do so up to
a maximum of 999.99 seconds. There are two START buttons on the CED8000. The first one
is located on the top end of the timer, while the other is positioned on the front center console.
Upon completion of shooting, the LCD display will indicate the (first) 1st shot recorded, the
total shots fired / received and the cumulative time recorded. It will also display the Split time,
and Par time (if set). The display will always provide the day, month, year, and time as well,
unless this function is turned off.
To review the time each shot was fired, press either the "REVIEW" button located on the top
end of the timer or the one on the front center console, and the LCD display will return to the
first shot and time recorded. This procedure can be continued throughout all shots recorded.
The REVIEW function can be viewed in forward or reverse progression by using the
UP/DOWN Directional keys. The memory stores ten strings, with up to 38 shots per string at
all times. By pressing the LEFT/RIGHT Directional keys (when in REVIEW function), the
user can move from one string to another.
In addition to the shot number and cumulative time, the split time (difference) between the most
recently recorded shot and the preceding shot time will appear on the LCD display at all times.
The CED8000 has the capability to record unlimited shots fired. The memory will retain the
first 99 times received, and then replace the 99th time with the last shot time received thereafter.
When the "REVIEW" button is pressed the first shot / time will always appear. You can then
review through each shot recorded by pressing one of the REVIEW buttons.
By pressing the "START" button, the timer automatically stores in memory the previous data
received and activates the buzzer/timer accordingly. However, the CED8000 is designed to
prevent accidental loss of results. In order to re-activate the "START" button, the
"REVIEW" button must be pressed at least once. An exception to this rule, is when the
"Combined Comstock" mode is in use. Refer to "Combined Comstock" section for
further details. The user can also override this function by selecting the “AUTO
START – ON” feature from the Menu options
7.
