(1) Safety Information

Make certain that any person assembling or installing this system has read and fully

understood this Instruction Manual. It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this

system.

Counter units are to be used with 12V dc power sources only. The 12V dc power

sources that may be used are; 12V lead acid batteries or 12V regulated ac to dc

power supplies.

12V lead acid batteries (such as car type batteries) contain acid and so extreme

care must be taken when handing them.

12V car batteries are capable of supplying large amounts of current and care must

be taken not to connect the + (red) and –(black) terminals together.

Protect the power cord from being walked on, pinched or damaged in any way.

Disconnect this apparatus from its power source during lightning storms or when

unused for extended periods of time.

Use only the attachment parts/accessories supplied by BRB Systems USA Co.

Do not allow liquid entry into the system components.

Ensure that the traps are disconnected from their power sources and unloaded

before connection of a Counter unit. Failure to do so could result in the

unexpected operation of the trap causing serious injury.

CAUTION:

This system is powered by electricity. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do

not remove any cover from the apparatus. There are no user serviceable parts

inside. Refer servicing to BRB Systems USA Co.

(2) Installation

Installation of the Counter should be to the side or rear of the shooting position, in such

a place as not to obstruct or distract the shooter. The counter unit should be mounted

either to a post, wall or tree and must be mounted vertically without obstruction

between its antenna, any component of the voice release system and the trap house.

Counter Unit Connections

Battery Power

10ft 2 core cable = Counter power. Connect to 12V battery.

Power +12V = Red.

Power -12V = Black.

(3) Set Up

Use this equipment to control target use with BRB Wireless Trap, Wireless Skeet or

Wireless Overlay Voice Release Systems.

This equipment has been designed for user versatility, which is achieved by

offering a number of set up options. Unless specified otherwise when ordered,

each piece of this equipment will be preset to factory settings before shipping.

For many customers no changes will be necessary. Should you need to make

any changes from the factory settings a comprehensive description of how to

do so follows.

Each Counter Unit can be set by the club/owner into one of the following modes:

No-load target counting - individual targets

Preload target counting - rounds of 25 targets

Free play

No-load target counting requires a Dongle to be in the Counter Unit at the time of

shooting and charges the Dongle per shot. This counter mode is commonly used by a

single shooter in the Sporting disciplines.

Preload target counting allows shooters to each load multiples of 25 targets onto a

Counter Unit, where they are stored until used. Targets are preloaded by inserting and

then removing a Dongle. This counter mode is commonly used by single or multiple

shooters, in the Trap or Skeet disciplines.

Free play mode allows the counter equipment to be used as a release system without

any need for a Dongle to be inserted for payment.

Once a Counter Unit has been set to No-load Counting, Preload Counting, or Free Play it

will stay in that mode even if powered off. If in the future the Counter Unit is required

to work in a different count mode it can be reset using the following procedures.

Setting a Counter Unit for No-load Target Counting

Power on the Counter Unit.

Insert No-load Programming Dongle into the socket.

The display shows Cntr then changes to donE.

Remove the No-load Programming Dongle.

Setting a Counter Unit for Pre-load Target Counting

Power on the Counter Unit.

Insert Pre-load Programming Dongle into the socket.

The display shows PreL then changes to donE.

Remove the Pre-load Programming Dongle.

Setting a Counter Unit for Free Play

Power on the Counter Unit.

Insert a Free Play Programming Dongle into the socket.

The display shows FrEE then changes to donE.

Remove the Free Play Programming Dongle.

Any Dongle can be made into a No-load Programming Dongle, Preload

Programming Dongle or Free Play Programming Dongle as described in the

Console Instruction Manual.

Counter Unit Dipswitch Settings

The counter unit identity is set with dipswitches. To access the dip switches carefully

remove the cover without pulling the internal wiring that links between the cover and

the enclosure body.

Switch numbers are printed on the body of the dipswitch.

TOP

CODE

CHN

The 7 CHN switches must match between TX,RX, VB and Counter –Used to set RF

frequency

MIDDLE

CODE

OFF

The 5 CODE switches must match between TX, RX, VB and Counter –Used to

set signal encoding

BOTTOM

OFF

UNUSED –Set all OFF

CHN Channel Dipswitches

The seven CHN dipswitches (#2-8 of the TOP dipswitch) set the frequency of the

equipment radio communication and have 128 possible frequency variations. Using a

unique CHN setting, for one set of Counter Unit, Button Controller, Receiver and Voice

Box, eliminates cross calls between adjacent fields, because each field has a different

working frequency.

The seven CHN dipswitch settings on the Counter Unit, Button Controller, Receiver and

Voice Box must match for the system to operate.

These will be preset when the unit is shipped and so under most circumstances should

not need you to change them.

CODE Signal Encoding Dipswitches

The five CODE switches (#1 on the TOP dipswitch and switches #1-4 on the MIDDLE

dipswitch) set the encoding, do not affect the transmission frequency and expand the

possible number of individual identities to 4096.

The CODE dipswitch settings on the Counter Unit, Button Controller, Receiver and Voice

Box must match for the system to operate.

These will be preset when the unit is shipped. Unless you need more than the 128

different transmitter identities available with the CHN dipswitches it should not be

necessary to change the CODE dipswitches.

(4) Operation

BRB Wireless Trap, Skeet and Overlay Voice Release Systems can be used with or

without counting. Changing between modes is made with the dipswitches in the Button

Controller.

Non-counter operation = switches 1-4 on the TOP Button Controller dipswitch

must be the same as switches 1-4 on the LOWER dipswitch.

With counter operation = at least one of the switches, 1-4 on the TOP Button

Controller dipswitch, must be different from switches 1-4 on the LOWER dipswitch.

Therefore changing between non-counter operation and with counter operation is done

by simply switching one of the switches (#1-4) of the LOWER dipswitch.

When a counter/ non-counter switch has been changed, press ‘MIC OFF’ followed by

‘MIC ON’to install the new mode.

Note: Because this makes changing operation very easy, it is important that how these

changes are made does not become known to the shooter.

(4.1)Counter Unit Operation

With No-load or Preload counting, a shooter Dongle must be inserted into the counter

unit to control payment before a target can be released. A shooter Dongle can be either

count up or count down. Count Up and Count Down Dongles are created by the club

using the Console. Instructions on how to create Dongles are found in the Console

Instruction Manual.

(4.1.1) No-load Target Counting

Dongles

To release a target using a Counter Unit set to No-load Counting, a Dongle must be

inserted into the Counter Unit socket and left inserted for as long as the shooter requires

targets to be released. If the Dongle is set to Count Up mode, then the shooter may

release 10,000 individual targets before the Dongle will need to be reset. If the Dongle

is set to Count Down mode then then the club must preprogram the required number of

individual targets into the Dongle using the Console. Any amount between 0 and 999

can be programmed.

Once the Dongle has been inserted and the Counter Unit is powered on, the unit will

stay powered for 30 minutes after use has stopped. Once the Dongle has been removed

the display will read IdlE and wait for another Dongle for 10 seconds. If none is

inserted after 10 seconds the Counter Unit will power off.

Count/Credit –Counting Up

With a Counter Unit powered on and a Count Up Dongle inserted, the display will show

the number of targets that Dongle has released. The count of a Count Up Dongle will

read between 0 and 10,000 and will be displayed as follows:

1234 1234

The Dongle has recorded the release of 1234 targets.

When a Dongle has released 9999 targets no more targets will be released and an

audible ‘Beep; will sound. To release more targets using this Dongle the count must

first be cleared using the Console.

Count Credit - Counting Down

With a counter powered on and a Count Down Dongle inserted, the display will show the

amount of target credit available. The credit remaining on a Count Down Dongle will be

displayed as follows:

fvdg .9.8.7

The Dongle has a credit remaining of 987 targets.

When the count reaches zero no more targets can be released until more count is added

to the Dongle using the Console.

If a user attempts to release a target with zero credit on a Dongle, or release a pair in

Count Down mode with a credit of only 1 available, the user will hear an audible ‘beep’

to inform them that no credit exists.

(4.1.2) Preload Target Counting

Dongles

To release a target using a Counter set to Preload Counting mode, a Counter Unit must

have stored credit of at least 1. Credit is added to the Counter by inserting a Count Up

or Count Down Dongle that is has at least 25 targets available.

When a Preload Counter is powered on, the display will show the count credit that is

already stored in it. This figure will be between 0 and 999.

When a Dongle is inserted into the Counter, the Counter will take 25 targets from the

Dongle and the previous credit shown on the display will rapidly increase by 25 targets.

If the Counter has been set by the club/owner to give extra targets for each round of 25,

to allow for broken targets, these will also be added to the Counter credit.

Once the Dongle has been inserted and the unit is powered on, the unit will stay

powered for 30 minutes after use has stopped.

If a Dongle is inserted that does not have enough credit to allow 25 targets to be taken

from it, the display will flash the amount of credit available on the Dongle to make the

shooter aware that the credit is insufficient. When the Dongle is removed the display

will return to showing the Counter stored credit.

Count/Credit

With a Counter powered on the display will show the amount of target credit already

stored on the unit. A Preload counter display always displays and releases targets by

counting down.

234 .2.3.4

The Counter Unit has a 234 target credit. When the count reaches zero no more targets

can be released until more count is added to the counter using a Dongle.

When a Count Up Dongle is used to credit the Counter, 25 targets will be added the

count already stored on the Dongle.

When a Count Down Dongle is used to credit the Counter, 25 targets will be subtracted

from the count credit stored on the Dongle.

When either a Count Up or Count Down Dongle is removed, the target credits remain

stored in the Counter Unit. If more credit needs to be added, reinsert the Dongle.

Other shooters can add credit by inserting their Dongles.

If a shooter attempts to release a target with zero credit on the Counter Unit, or release

a pair of targets with only 1 credit available, an audible ‘beep’ will sound to inform the

shooter that no credit exists and no target will be released.

Erasing Unused Targets

Any unused target credit stored on the counter can be removed by inserting a Preload

Programming Dongle into the Counter Unit. The display will show PreL done then

the display will show zero credit.

(4.1.3) Free Play

Dongles

To release a target, using a Counter unit set to Free Play mode, it is not necessary to

insert any Dongle. If a dongle is inserted into the counter the display will flash FrEE to

alert the shooter, until the Dongle is removed.

Count/Credit

When a Counter Unit set to Free Play mode is powered on the display will read FrEE and

any target combination can be released.

(4.14) All Counter Modes

Ground ID

If a Dongle with the wrong Ground ID is inserted, no target can be released. The

Counter Unit display will show FaiL Err3 will be until the Dongle is removed.

(5) Counter Codes

If the Counter Unit sees a Dongle with the incorrect ground ID or cannot read a Dongle

the display will show an error message until the Dongle is removed.

‘Err 3’ = Bad ground ID. Dongle is from another ground.

‘Err 5’ = Cannot read Dongle.

(6) Maintenance

The rugged manufacturing of this Wireless Voice Release Counter should ensure many

years of trouble free use if it is not abused and given simple maintenance.

Do not allow any component to be immersed in water.

Do not leave the equipment outside, in the weather, for indefinite periods of time.

Store in a cool dry place.

Regularly inspect the equipment for wear or damage. If any wear or damage is

found seek service from BRB Systems USA Co.

Should difficulty be found with the system operation, do not dismantle any part of the

system. This will void the warranty and may result in an electric shock or fire.
