16. EXCESSIVE CYCLE TIME
When experiencing excessive cycle time, there are three main causes which are as follows:
a. Fill Time:
(1) Check for excessively long fill times. Refer to the “Fill Alarm Analysis” flowchart if any are found.
(2) Check for excessively long programmed fill times.
NOTE: All pre-programmed fill times are for 5 minutes. Any fill should easily complete during this time.
b. Drain Time:
(1) Look for excessively long programmed drain times (i.e., greater than one minute).
NOTE: Any drain step should not exceed 30-40 seconds.
c. Unnecessary Programming Steps:
(1) E.g., in the first fill of a cycle, if “S102XX” is programmed for 45 seconds and “S203XX” is
programmed for 45 seconds, the two steps can be accomplished together at the same time, saving 45
seconds. Refer to the “Programming Multiple Supply Steps” section of your washer-extractor’s
programming manual.
