The

communications

link

between

the

climbers

is

incomplete.

All

units

must

be

turned

on

and

connected

to

each

other

for

the

racing

network

to

function

(see

section

1).

If

the

communications

aren't

working

the

Climb

Max

will

display

'SOLO

GOAL.:

instead

of

'GROUP

GOAL.:.

After

aClimb

Max

has

been

turned

on

it

will

look

to

see

if

it

is

in

a

group

the

first

time

the

race

function

is

invoked.

If

it

comes

up

'SOLO

GOAL.:

it

will

not

check

for

the

group

again

until

power

has

been

cycled.

When

setting

up

the

group

for

the

first

time

it

is

best

to

turn

off

and

on

all

the

ClimbMaxes

in

the

group.

Please

note

that

you

cannot

use

standard

telephone

cables

to

connect

climbers;

the

wiring

is

different,

even

though

the

connector

is

the

same.

However,

you

can

use

the

kind

of

telephone

extension

cable

that

has

a

plug

on

one

end

and

a

socket

on

the

other

end

if

you

want

to

link

two

distant

climbers.

Never

connect

a

Climb

Max

to

a

telephone

outlet;

doing

so

might

damage

both

the

climber

and

the

telephones.

24.1

Climb

Max

Communication

Test

The

Climb

Max

Test

Mode

has

a

test

which

is

useful

in

troubleshooting

communications

problems.

There

are

two

jacks

on

every

climber,

an

IN

jack

and

an

OUT

jack.

There

are

two

indicators

on

the

display,

the

'DISTANCE'

indicator

and

the

'PROGRAM/LEVEL'

indicator.

The

'DISTANCE'

indicator

shows

the

state

of

the

OUT

jack

(serial

transmitter

output)

and

the

'PROGRAM/LEVEL.:

shows

the

state

of

the

IN

jack

(receiver

input).

If

the

'DISTANCE'

indicator

is

off,

the

test

is

not

running

(enabled).

Press

the

'DISPLAY

SHIFT'

key

to

start

or

stop

the

test.

Make

sure

that

the

test

is

running,

then,

if

the

'PROGRAM/LEVEL'

indicator

is

on,

the

climber

has

passed

the

communication

test.

If

the

'PROGRAM/LEVEL'

indicator

is

off,

then

the

climber

has

failed

the

communication

test.

The

following

chart

displays

the

expected

results

of

a

good

climber.
