2. Introduction
KRONOS v2 is a device that counts 8 different timing modes; the timing modes have 1 to
4 individual chronometers entirely independent from one another, allowing to memorise
99 laps of 9’59”99 for each one with a maximum of 9 split times per chronometer.
You will succeed in effortlessly timing up to 4 competitors without even looking at thechronometer. The display is very clear and equipped with exceptional contrast, which istypical for all ALFANO-systems. While the KRONOS v2 is sturdy, it is also completely
waterproof «IP56 » and, in other words, adapted to any situation.

seconds for the Kronos v2 to be switched off, or after minutes of not using thechronometer.

5. Functioning of Option 2
Option mode 2 differs from option mode 1 by the capacity of allowing the visualisation of
the projection of the chronometer counter during the timing.
In fact, after capturing the time or a split time, the KRONOS displays the time of this lap
for about 5 seconds and the chronometer will then show you the projection of thechronometer, a projection in minutes and seconds concerning the laps in progress.
All other functions available in option mode 1 are present here as well. In other words,
the functionalities resumed in points 4.2 – 4.3 – 4.4 – 4.5 – 4.6 – 4.7 – 4.8 – 4.9 – 4.10.

Pressing button C4 for a longer time (2 sec) allows you to reset the reference
chronometer.
This is the case whether or not you are in the timing mode, but MAKE SURE that thisaction resets and stops the chronometer.

Attention:
The reference chronometer must be switched off in order to switch off the Kronos v2
6.3 Functionalities:
The present functions in option mode 1 concerning the timing are applicable. In otherwords, the functionalities resumed in 4.2 – 4.3 – 4.4 – 4.5 – 4.6 – 4.7 – 4.8 – 4.9 –4.10.
The only difference lies in the fact that you do not have more than 3 timing chronometers(3 competitors) at your disposal, which is due to the presence of the reference
chronometer.

10.2 Functionalities:
The functionalities concerning the timing of option mode 7 are identical to thefunctionalities of option mode 1, but it must be noted that this function does only apply
to the buttons « B1 », « B3 », « C1 », « C3 », which is due to the presence of the
projection of the time of the lap in progress at the level of the buttons « B2 », « C4 ».
The projection of the time of the lap in progress evidently is reset and starts up again
each time when you close and restart a lap.

Comment:
Option mode 8 only takes the time of one single competitor whereby the 4 display lines
represent each lap (and its split times) of laps 1 to 4.
Option mode 8 for KRONOS R1 (revision 1) allows you to memorize laps up to 20’00"00
and the times are recorded in tenths of second 1/10S.
Option mode 8 for KRONOS R2 (revision 2) allows you to memorize laps up to 10’55"00
and the times are recorded in hundredths of second 1/100S.
11.2 Starting up:
When you switch on the Kronos option mode 8, the system is activated and positions
itself in the « STOP » mode, (the « START » icon blinks). The chronometer is ready tostart up.

Comment: when you have closed a lap, buttons corresponding to the timing of this lap
will become inactive.
ATTENTION: if you press « A » for longer than one second, the time in progress will not
be memorised. This is to allow you not having to memorise the 4 laps systematically.
Example: if you wish to register two laps only, you start off with button « B1 » followedby « B2 » and then « B3 », which will stop the timing of the second lap and will start thethird one, as you are timing only two laps, press button « A » for longer than one secondand lap 3 will not be taken into account.
11.3 Capturing the split times:
Press button « C1..C4 » corresponding to the lap in progress and the KRONOS v2 will
display the number of the split time on the left side.

14
