CHRONO TOP JUDO
TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS
POWER SUPPLY
If adopting the mains power supply, use the
adapter (100-240 Vac) supplied. If battery
power operated , use the optional 12V battery.
The average duration of the battery is from 8 to
10 hours. It is a good idea to recharge it after
use with the special battery charger : do not
leave the battery uncharged since it causes
deterioration.
FUNCTIONING
PS-J is ideal for Judo contests. It is also
indicated for sports or training with Action/
Pause sequences such as boxing, taekwondo,
spinning, etc.
Turning on and off
Turn on and off with the "ON-OFF" key. When
turned off, the phrase [OFF] remains on the
consul display, indicating the presence of the
power supply.
Visualization
All of the indications visualized on the score-
board also appear on the consul display
situated behind the scoreboard.
Start of a new Contest
To begin the new Contest, press the "NEW
Contest" key. This will cause the zeroing
of all display information and it will load
the programmed contest time. (Please see
Programming chapter).
Starting and stopping the chronometer
With the "START STOP TIME" key, the time is
started or ended (and with this key the possible
count of the Osaekomi time is stopped) and
the backward count of the contest is started
again.
The start of this operation does not cause the
start of the Osaekomi time.
At the end of the combat time the end signal
is emitted only when the Osaekomi time is
not activated otherwise it is postponed till the
end. When the time count is stopped, the 2
separation points minutes/seconds light up
continuously, otherwise they keep on flashing.
Direct assigning of points
With the "YUKO", "WAZA-ARI" and "IPPON"
keys, the scores are incremented accordingly.
In the case of "YUKO", after 9 the following
letters appear a (=10), b (=11), c (=12), d
(=13), E (=14), F (=15).
Assigning of penalties
With the "SHIDO 1-2-3" and "Hansoku
MAKE" keys it is possible to attribute the
respective penalties to a combatant and
contemporaneously assign the corresponding
score to the opponent, according to the abiding
Judo regulations.
Golden Score
With the "Golden Score" key the chronometer
is loaded with the time that is programmed to
the "Golden Score time" parameter. In addition,
the points and penalties are zeroed, or else left
unchanged, according to whether the "Golden
Score reset" programming parameter is set to
"YES" or to "NO".
OSAEKOMI time
With the "OSAEKOMI YOSHI START-STOP"
key, the forward count of the Osaekomi time is
started and stopped alternatively. The Stop of
the combat time with the "START STOP TIME"
key also causes the stop of the Osaekomi
time. The start of the Osaekomi time also
causes the start of the combat time (if this was
already activated, it will remain activated).
Assigning of OSAEKOMI
With the "→" (white arrow) and "←" (blue
arrow) keys the respective light turns on
indicating which combatant makes happen the
immobilization. The "Osaekomi RESET" and
"NEW Contest" keys init the Osaekomi time as
well as turning off the light that indicates the
combatant who is affected by the Osaekomi.
Canceling an operation
With the "BACK" key, the last operation
concerning the count or the penalties is
cancelled but the chronometer time is NOT
modified. A maximum of 3 operations can be
cancelled.
