Special Notice!
There are two rubber tabs located on the bottom end of the CED8000 Timer. These tabs are
designed to provide protection to and prevent dirt particles from entering the input & output
jacks when not in use and to provide additional base support for the Timer to rest on. To use an
input or output jack, simply remove the rubber tab. Each jack is labeled as described on page

PREPARATION
BATTERY:
The CED8000 functions on a single 9-volt Alkaline battery. The battery compartment, located
on the lower back panel of the timer, provides easy access for fast and simple battery
replacement. Rotate the belt clip 45 degrees to access the battery compartment easier
"Battery Indicator" is constantly displayed in the top right corner of the LCD display. As the
battery drains power, the symbol will turn from all black to clear color showing the amount of
battery life remaining. When the 9V battery reaches 5.0V, the battery symbol will begin
flashing indicating time to replace the battery. This provides ample warning to change the
battery in order to prevent timer failure due to loss of battery power. If the battery drains to
5.5V, a warning message (Low Battery shutting off timer) will appear on the LCD display and
within 30 minutes of usage, the timer will shutdown. The retention of stored data in the
CED8000 will remain intact as long as the battery has a minimum of 3.5V charge. The timer
continues to consume a trickle amount of power, even when turned off in order to keep the
internal clock (date / time) functioning and the memory storage intact. A new 9-volt alkaline
battery will provide over 3 months of normal use and up to 6 months in stand-by or stored
capacity. If the battery is removed to maintain longer life span, all stored data will be lost, and
resetting the clock will be required when the timer is activated again. HOWEVER, memory
retention will remain intact for 30 seconds upon removing the battery allowing sufficient time
to replace a new one without data loss.

PROGRAMMING THE TIMER:
Press the “MENU” button to display the full range of settings & features of the CED8000
Timer. To the left of the Menu button are four keys with triangle emblems pointing up, down,
left, & right. In the center of these keys is the “ENTER” button. The “UP & DOWN” keys
allow the user to select a setting or function from the Menu, by moving the highlight up or
down. The “LEFT & RIGHT” keys allow the user to select a setting or value within a given
mode, or function. Each directional key moves the highlighted selector in the direction of the
key pressed. When a value has been selected (highlighted), press the ENTER button to store
(confirm) it. Example: Press MENU, press the DOWN key one time to highlight PAR, press
ENTER. The display will show highlighted SINGLE PAR. Press ENTER to confirm this!
The display will then highlight the “0” in the thousands column. To set 5.3 seconds PAR,
continue pressing the RIGHT key two times till it highlights the correct column. Press the UP
key five times to display the number “5” . Then, press the RIGHT key again to highlight the
0.1 column and the UP key till the number “3” is displayed. Once you have the correct time
selected, press ENTER to store the selected PAR.
Press ENTER to save data
Press CLEAR to exit without saving data
DAY/DATE/TIME SETTING:
Select from the Menu “Time & Date” and enter the time (12 or 24 hour clock), am/pm, month,
day, & year, which will then be displayed continuously on the timer. The timer will consume a
small amount of battery power, even when shut off in order to keep this information accurately
updated and in memory. The date/day/time display can be removed from the LCD display
screen by selecting the “Time & Date” Menu option and highlighting “Display – OFF”
Although the information will then not be displayed, it will remain active in memory. If the
battery is removed, stored data in memory will be lost, unless a new battery is reinstalled within
30 seconds.
RFID SETTING:
If this CED8000 Timer has been purchased with the optional RF capability function for use
with the CED BigBoard or CED Timer Keeper, the following section will provide information
for linking the timer to a specific CED BigBoard or CED Time Keeper.
The CED8000 Timer can be ordered with an optional RF wireless remote transmitter, which
has an unobstructed broadcast range of up to 50 yards to either a CED BigBoard or CED Time
Keeper. To link a “CED8000F” timer to one of these other CED products, press the Menu
button and scroll down to RFID. Select a four-digit number of your choice and enter it into the
timer. Then enter the same number into either the CED BigBoard or CED Time Keeper to be
linked with. Once completed, the CED8000 timer will transmit recorded times at regular
interval of 24 seconds to the linked unit as they are recorded on the timer. The CED Timer
Keeper will also display the number of shots and the split times as well.

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) 1
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
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 99
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
