I wouldn't feel right about leaving this call up to the timer, as he/she is sure to have a bias for the home team. Perhaps ask him/her what they saw, but not allow it to directly make the decision.
The key word "consulted" has been expressed to mean "asked for further information", and the Referee is still to make the decision. JMHO
