Introduction
This manual contains instructions for installation and use of the Westerstrand Sportstimer. The
Sportstimer can be used as a real time clock or as a chronometer counting up or down. Lap times
can be stored and there is a function to count down to repeated starts. There are two remote
controls, one radio remote and one wirebound. It is also possible to connect other controls, such
as a starting gun.
Installation
The Sportstimer is powered by either 230VAC or 12VDC. At delivery two cables are provided; one
for mains connection and one with clamps for connection to a car battery. The Sportstimer can be
connected to both power sources at the same time without risk of damage. When the battery input
is used a gauge shows the approximate state of charge of the battery. When the voltage level
drops below a certain point the power is cut. This is done to protect the battery from over-
discharge.
Electrical connection

Startup
At power on the Sportstimer will show one of the following modes:
•Clock – a 24 hour clock is shown. This is the default mode at first start. The clock mode can
be recognized by flashing separators (colons).
•Chronometer mode – if the Sportstimer has been shut down in chronometer mode this will be
resumed when power returns. A running chronometer will continue counting when power is
lost and display the correct time when power returns. Chronometer mode can be recognized
by fixed separators (colons and/or point).
The wired remote control shows the same information as the Sportstimer and can now be used to
control it. The radio remote control is ready for use as soon as the Sportstimer has been started.
Operation
To control the Sportstimer there are two alternatives: A wired, 20-button control with an LCD
display and a cordless radio control with 7 buttons. The wired remote control is needed to be able
to use all functions, but the radio remote control is sufficient when using the simpler functions.
