1. HOW THE R.A.C.E. STATION™WORKS
Congratulations on the purchase of your new R.A.C.E. Station™.
This state-of-the-art training tool uses a pull station, annunciator and
extinguisher sensor to facilitate complete “R.A.C.E.-to-P.A.S.S.” training in
conjunction with the LION BullsEye™Digital Fire Extinguisher Training System.
Features include a phone for trainees to dial their appropriate emergency phone
number, as well as a smoke alarm to facilitate training on the use, placement,
and maintenance of smoke alarms.
The R.A.C.E. Station™provides maximum value when used in conjunction with
the BullsEye™. The R.A.C.E. Station™automatically communicates wirelessly
with the BullsEye™and tracks how long it takes trainees to perform certain tasks
like triggering the pull station and in what order. Custom scenarios can easily be
created to help enforce key training objectives, such as calling for help before
attempting to extinguish the re.
The R.A.C.E. Station™can be optionally equipped with an electric cutoff prop which
can be used in conjunction with the BullsEye™or with the ATTACK™Digital Fire
Training System. Teach trainees how to respond to electrical res, identifying the
risk, and cutting power, prior to engaging the re.
The R.A.C.E. Station™can also be used as a standalone training tool. The
R.A.C.E. Station™is portable and can be set up in strategic locations so that
your trainees must locate pull stations and extinguishers as they would in a
real emergency. Additional props can be added to the system to further expand
your training scenarios

8.5 TROUBLESHOOTING
8.5.1 ALL PROP LINK INDICATORS ARE SOLID RED
This means that your network bridge adapter is not powered on, not in range, or it
is malfunctioning. Make sure that it is powered on, its link indicator is solid green,
and it is within range of the other props.
If bringing props in range of the network bridge does not resolve the issue, try
resetting the network bridge by unplugging it for ve seconds and plugging
it back in.
8.5.2 ONE PROP LINK INDICATOR IS SOLID RED OR SWITCHING
BETWEEN RED AND GREEN
This means that this prop is out of range or nearly out of range. Simply move it
closer to another prop which is in range until the light is solid green consistently.
If the link remains red even when within a reasonable range, try powering down the
prop and powering it back on.
8.5.3 ONE PROP IS STEADILY BLINKING RED
This means that the prop has been unpaired from your network which can
sometimes happen after a software update or when receiving a new prop with
factory settings. If this happens, simply plug it into the Network Bridge Adapter until
the light turns solid green. This should take between 5 and 15 seconds.
