over with brightness effect from time to temperature.
−Fade-in off
Fading is not activated.
−Fade-in on
Fading is activated.
Second Digit of Setting
This setting defines the brightness mode of the display.
−Manual setting
The second digit of the brightness settings can be adjusted manually from 0 to 9. Value 0 is
minimum brightness and value 9 maximum. This adjustment can also be effected by using
the menu of TdC8001 or TIMY.
−Time of Day Dependent Brightness [x3]
Brightness is set automatically, depending on the time of day.
−Light Sensor Dependent Brightness [x4]

Display Mode
Here, the different display modes for your display board can be adjusted.
−hh:mm:ss [0x] (1sec)
−h:mm:ss.z (1/10sec) and speed with 1/10
−mm:ss:zh [1x] (1/100sec)
−m:ss.zht (1/1000sec)
−Bib, Rank [2x]
−extended Mode [4x]
This advanced mode serves for configuring the complete display yourself. You can define
which byte is shown at which position on the display board.
If the serial setting is in this mode, you have some more parameters for adjusting the mode:
,,,,… [A5, A6,…B0, B1,…]. For a detailed description how to adjust these
parameters, see point 2.4
−Slave/Master Communication (RS485 or RS232, master=TX, slave=RX) [5x]
and also for GPS operation (set 4800 baud = Sen4)
−mm:ss.zh [1x] (1/100sec.)
Identical to SEh but in the stopwatch mode the time is shown in seconds: 60 seconds instead
of 1:00 minute (also see page 14).
−Game Terminal CKN Playing Time (mm:ss, central) must be 9600 Baud.
D-LINE is connected with RS232 to the CKN terminal (Pin5=GND, PIN2=data).
Works from CKN software 11-2006 (wireless protocol) – wired no longer exists.
−Freeze Time of Day [3x]
With this function the time of day can be frozen with a manual button on the green/black ba-
nana socket for the duration of the time-out time. The time of day continues internally.
Transfer Speed/Protocol
The second digit of the setting is responsible for the transfer speed of the serial interface.
−2400, N, 8, 1 ALGE-Timing standard [x0]
−4800, N, 8, 1 ALGE-TIMING [x1]
−9600, N8, 1 ALGE-TIMING [x2]
−19200, N, 8, 1 ALGE-TIMING [x3]
−special Format
−old devices like the S3, Selftimer SF2 [x4]
−countdown mode see point 3.1.2 Countdown (from Version 4.5)
Time-Out Time-Temperature-Date [A2]2.3.19
This setting defines the time after which the display board switches from serial display mode
back to time-temp mode. If it is set to 00, the parameters described from point 2.3.1 to point
2.3.16 are no longer visible. The display modes for time of day, temperature and date are
thus deactivated. Up to version 3.7 the specifications are in seconds and from version 3.8 the
value is multiplied by 10, so an adjustment of 24 is 240 seconds.

Address Setting [A3] (A)2.3.20
To use more than one D-LINE on an addressed protocol, you have to define the addresses
of every single display board. Normally, the first line is address 1 , second line ad-
dress 2 , etc.
Depending on the sport, this setting can be important to display the serial data of your timing
device correctly. Please also refer to the manual of the corresponding timing device. The
sport specific instructions for controlling the display board can be found there.
2.4 Extended Data Mode
In this mode, one byte of the data string can be assigned to each digit. For example it is pos-
sible to display on a 6-digit display board the bib on the first 2 digits and the time in m:ss on
the last 3 digits. For some sports like equestrian (with Timer S4), you have to program the
display for the presentation of the points in this mode. It is not possible to show datasets of
differently addressed data strings.

3 Special Functions
D-LINE display boards can be used as stand-alone stopwatch, countdown clock or counter.
3.1 Stopwatch, Countdown and Counter
To use one of these modes, please to connect a manual button 023-xx at the green and red
banana socket of the D-LINE. By pressing the manual button, the mode is started. For set-
ting the different modes change the parameter [A1] as described below.
Stopwatch (from Version 4.5)3.1.1
Starting with version 4.5 we offer a stopwatch function that allows inputting a time from which
the stopwatch starts to run. The delay time of the stopwatch is 1 second; i. e. after each im-
pulse no further impulse can be triggered for the period of one second (to avoid incorrect
photocell impulses). The parameters are used to set different formats for the stopwatch.
Stopwatch format: hh:mm:ss (hours, minutes, seconds)
Stopwatch format: mm:ss:zh (minutes, seconds, 1/100)
Stopwatch format: ssss:zh (seconds mode with 1/100)
The stopwatch can be started from zero (standard) or any other time that is set. For setting
this time use the push button 023-xx and press it for about 10 seconds until the first digit
starts blinking. If the button continues to be pressed, the blinking setting is saved and the
cursor moves to the next digit. In case this digit is already set correctly, continue to press the

Manual
D-LINE / D-SAT
Page 13
button until in the end the start time is displayed without blinking. Pressing the manual button
again starts the stopwatch.
The stopwatch can be stopped or re-started any time by pressing (intermediate or end time).
If the button is pressed for about 5 seconds the display is reset to zero or after 10 seconds
the time can be reset as required.
Countdown (from Version 4.5)3.1.2
Starting with version 4.5 we offer a countdown function that allows setting the countdown
time. The parameters are used to set different formats for the countdown.
Countdown format: hh:mm:ss (hours, minutes, seconds)
Countdown format: mm:ss:zh (minutes, seconds, 1/100)
Countdown format: ssss:zh (seconds mode with 1/100)
The standard start time for the countdown is one minute. For setting this time use the push
button 023-xx and press it for about 10 seconds until the first digit starts blinking. If the button
continues to be pressed, the blinking setting is saved and the cursor moves to the next digit.
In case this digit is already set correctly, continue to press the button until in the end the start
time is displayed without blinking. Pressing the manual button again starts the countdown.
The countdown can be stopped or re-started any time by pressing (time-out). If the button is
pressed for about 5 seconds the display is reset to zero or after 10 seconds the time can be
reset as required.
Counter (from Version 4.5)3.1.3
Starting with version 4.5 we offer a counter function that allows setting any number you like
and count up or down from this number with each button push (manual button 023-xx at
green and black banana socket).
count up
count down
Switch on the counter mode. Depending on the direction of counting, the push button has
different functions. Pressing the button for about 2 seconds counts in the opposite direction.
If the first digit of the display blinks you entered the mode for setting the starting number. If
the button continues to be pressed, the blinking setting is saved and the cursor moves to the
next digit. In case this digit is already set correctly, continue to press the button until in the
end the starting number is displayed without blinking. Pressing the manual button again
counts one down. In case the button is pressed for about 2 seconds it counts one up. If
pressed for about 10 seconds the display is reset to the initial value.
Stopwatch-Countdown (Version 4.3.and 4.4)3.1.4
This function is available from version 4.3 with fixed start and stop delay time of 4 seconds to
eliminate incorrect photocell impulses. Switching between stopwatch and countdown is ef-
fected by continued pressing of the manual button for about 20 seconds. Displaying 00:00.00
indicates the stopwatch mode, blinking of the first digit the countdown mode. If the button
continues to be pressed, the blinking setting is saved and the cursor moves to the next digit.
In case this digit is already set correctly, continue to press the button until in the end the
starting value is displayed without blinking. Pressing the button again starts the countdown. If
pressed for about 10 seconds the display is reset to the initial value.

Counter (Version 4.3.and 4.4)3.1.5
Switching between counting up and counting down is effected by continuously pressing the
manual button for about 20 seconds. Display of 0 indicates the count up mode, first digit
blinking the countdown mode.
Counter
This parameter enables the counter mode. Depending on the counting direction, the function
of the manual button is different. Pressing shortly the button counts up (down) and continued
pressing for about 2 seconds counts down (up).
Adjusting the start value
If the first digit of the display blinks you entered the mode for setting the start value. Keeping
the button pressed for a while, the blinking value is saved and the cursor moves to the next
digit. In case this digit is set correctly, keep the button pressed until in the end the start value
is shown without blinking. Pressing the button again counts down by one. If the button is
pressed for 2 seconds, it counts up. Continue to press for as long as 10 seconds resets the
display to the start value.
