CONTROLS
The following is an explanation of the TimeMaster controls:
A) ON/OFF SENSITIVITY: Turn knob clockwise to turn on unit
power. As knob is turned clockwise the TimeMaster becomes more
sensitive to weak piezo signals. Generally speaking the knob should be
at about 1/2 when using drum sticks. and 3/4 when using brushes.
Turning this knob completely counterclockwise until you hear a click
will shut off the unit and reset the timing mechanism.
B) RESET: This clears the LED displays. This does not restart the unit.
C) Plug Morley 9VDC 300 mA regulated adapter here.
D) SENSOR IN: Plug conditioner 1/4” stereo jack to this jack.
E) TRIGGER OUT: Use this jack to assist in setting sensitivity or to
hook up additional TimeMasters in series. Puts out a 45ms negative
square wave pulse which differs from a standard piezo signal pulse.
F) LED DISPLAYS: Reads out a 3 digit beats per minute. 3 dots
located at the bottom right corner of each digit light each time a signal
is sensed. Use those 3 LED’s to assist in setting sensitivity.
AC ADAPTER
Use a 9VDC 300 milliamp regulated adapter only. Using a non-
regulated adapter could result in poor performance and/or inaccurate
readings.
BATTERY
The TimeMaster is designed to use one 9 volt battery when not using
an adapter (preferred). We suggest you use a good quality alkaline
battery. Battery life is approximately 4 hours.
To prolong battery life, turn TimeMaster unit off when not in use.
When not used for extended periods, we recommend you remove the
battery or replace it every six months to prevent leakage problems.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the battery becomes weak, the LED displays will become weak
and the accuracy of the readout will be affected.
Remove the battery door located on the bottom of the TimeMaster unit
(a short cord is attached to the door to help prevent loss). Once the door
is off, the old battery can be removed from the battery snap and a new
battery plugged in. Make sure the polarity (+/-) is correct before
inserting the new battery.
When you replace the battery door , you will notice it fits very tightly
against the battery. This prevents the battery from rattling inside the
unit.
WARRANTY
The TimeMaster unit and conditioner box warranted for two years from
date of purchase. The piezo sensor is warranted for 90 days. To obtain
warranty service contact the store where purchased, or call 1-800-639-
4668.
