MULTI-CYCLE TIMER ADJUSTMENT - OPTION
Determine the cycle time of your machine. This can be found in the CHARTS section of
this manual under TIMER SETTINGS. Next multiply the cycle time by the number of
cycles the machine should run and subtract one fourth of the cycle time. This is the
cumulative number of seconds for which to set the switches.
EXAMPLE: Cycle time of machine ........................... = 28 sec
Desired number of cycles ...................... = 3
Total seconds for 3 cycles (28 X 3) ........ = 84 sec
One fourth of cycle time (28/4) ...............= 7 sec
Number of seconds to set timer (84 - 7) = 77 sec
