2. BACK CONNECTIONS DESCRIPTION
INPUTS 1 & 2 Inputs for timing impulses.
Working contact without potential (short circuit or open collector).
Ex: Manual contactor (HL 18) or photocell HL 2-31 / 2-35).
Respect the polarities!
COMPUTER RS 232 / 9'600 baud data output.
For ON LINE or OFF LINE connection to a PC.
To drive a DISPLAY to show net and running times (HL 960 / HL 990 / HL
965).
POWER For an external power supply by:
Adapter HL 520-1 (110 ÷ 220 VAC / 12 VDC) or
12V batteries via our connection cable HL 520-8.
ST / SP / RS Auxiliary Input for:
START / STOP / RESTART. Start of the time, stop and restart it again (i.e.
Horse jumping) or
RESET (Resets the CP 520 to zero).
Caution ! The START / STOP / RESTART and RESET functions are possible only
with a synchronization at zero (for the SYNCHRO, the START function is
always activated).

The memorized parameters used for the last timekeeping as well as the N° of the new run and
the remaining memory capacity.
The display indicates: ENTER T I ME

00: 00
IMPORTANT ! The CP 520 default setting is in NET TIME mode. We advise to follow the
start of the CP 520 in this mode in order to well understand the different CP
520 functions !
If necessary …at this point, you can:
Enter in the Menu to change parameters (PARAMETERS) or / and
Clear the memory – all precedent runs will be cancelled, the timing will
restart with RUN Nr 1 (CLEAR MEMORY) or / and
To change the TIMING MODE (consult the menu description on page 17 –
confirm every selection with #).
3.4 Synchronization (SYNCHRO)
The time can be started from 00:00 or with the time-of-day. Therefore, you must:
Insert the desired time (or 00:00 for a start at zero) and confirm with #
When the display indicates " READY FOR SYNCHRO ", give an impulse on INPUT 1 or INPUT 2,
manually or by the external inputs. Caution!! unblock the external inputs to receive the impulses
(unblocking = red keys). You are now ready to start your timekeeping !!

4. NET TIME MODE (default setting)
Registration of start and finish times with competitor N°’s (alpine ski, cross-country, rally, etc). If your device
is not in NET TIME mode (see the timing sleeve), we advise you to configure it now:
When the display indicates ENTER TIME FOR SYNCHRO, press F.
Select TIMING MODE and confirm with # ; select NET TIME and confirm with #.
th
Select the desired precision for the net time result (ex. 1/100
programmable in the chapter 9 – TECHNICAL SPECIFCATIONS).
Select your needed numbering mode at the start (NUMBERING):
AUTOMATIC UP this option automatically presents bib numbers at the start in sequential order, or
MANUAL if race start numbers will appear in random order.
Proceed to the synchronization ( see point point 3.4 ).
CAUTION ! If the synchronization (SYNCHRO) has been carried out before the Timing
mode selection, you must create a NEW RUN in the menu F.
