Programs 1, 2, and 3 cannot run simultaneous
with each other. Toggling between these programs
stops the clock. Session 4 is a program that can
run in background to Program 1, 2 or 3.

A dimly-lit Program LED indicates that a
program is running in background. A brightly lit
LED indicates that the program is selected. A
signal light set to display multiple programs
displays the program selected on the timer.

Multiple Signal Lights

Note: Blink and beep settings, like time settings,
are set for each program individually.

Blink: Red light starts to blink after it comes on

Beep: Audible cue is sounded on yellow-to-red

light and on red blink

Blink + Beep: Audible cue is sounded on yellow­to-red change, then, once every other second
when Red light starts to blink.

Note: Hold Beep button to activate a single
manual beep.

Up to 2 signal lights (PSL-20V or ASL2-ND3) can
be powered from the base timer at a distance of
about 200-feet. Longer distances will produce
power attenuation due to resistance in the cable.
To drive additional lights at greater distances, use
DSan model PSL-PB6 or PSL-PB18 power
distribution hubs with an appropriate power supply.

Global Settings

Global settings are common to all programs. They are made on the 12-position DIP switch
on the rear of the timer console. The default settings (shown) are suitable for most uses.

When two or more timers are connected to one or
more signal lights, set one timer as master [ON]

and red light stays on until user presses “ .”

6. Sound Volume

“Master” Switch 1 = ON “Slave” Switch 1 = OFF

The Slave timer acts as a client that sends
keystroke commands to control the Master and
display the Time Remaining. All the time
processing is done in the Master.

2. Counting Program 4 (Session)

When using Program 4 to time a program over
several hours, set to Hours:Minutes [OFF].

PRO-2000BT is equipped with an
integrated Bluetooth transceiver. It can ®
communicate with up to 6 Bluetooth signal
light receivers (TR-2000BT) or
other PRO-2000BT timers on
four different channels. This
allows multiple timer-signal
light networks to operate in
proximity. Match receiver
channel (rotary switch) with
timer channel (DIP switches 11

Signal Light Connections

Use DIP switches on the bottom of the signal light
to set which timer programs to display, whether
sound cues accompany light changes, which phase
lights are active and how the digital display
behaves. All settings are local can be different for
each signal light connected to the timer.

Since Program 4 can run in background, it might be
useful to use a separate signal light that is enabled
for Program 4 ONLY and another that is enabled for
Programs 1, 2 and/or 3 ONLY. A signal light that is
enabled for multiple programs displays the program
that is selected on the timer.

Connect the signal light to the Limitimer console
with the 50-foot Cat-5 cable or the Cat-5–XLR
adapter (both included). Maximum distance 200­feet. This can be increased by using power
distribution hub PSL-PB6. See Page 1.

If Limitimer is used in debates or contests where
separate times are maintained for participants, set
the signal lights each to receive only a unique
program. Signal lights may be interconnected to
the timer console along a single cable run.
