 prompt in the

configuration menu. The revised access code will be
activated  when  the  BA374NG  is  returned  to  the
display mode.
Please contact BEKA associates sales department if
the access code is lost.

6.5.17 Direction of count:   

uP or dn

The Timer may be configured to time-up from zero to
the set time 

5Et t 

while displaying elapsed time, or

to time-down from the set time  

5Et t

 to zero while

displaying the remaining time.

When  the  repeat  timing  cycle  function  

CYCLE5  

is

enabled,  it  is  recommended  that  a  down  count  is
selected  so that the  progress  of the  timer can be
observed with a known completion time i.e. zero.  If
set as an up Timer or Clock, elapsed time will be
displayed, but the set time 

5et t

 at which the timer

will stop is not shown.

To check the direction of count, select 

uP or dn

 from

the  configuration  menu  and  press  

(

 which  will

reveal the existing setting.  This can be changed by
pressing the

configuration menu.

6.5.18 Power Fail:   

P-FAiL

Defines  how  the  Timer  powers-up  and  functions
when  power  is  restored  after  a  power  supply
interruption.    Three  options  are  available,  

idle

,

Pau5e

 and 

continue

.

idle

The Timer is stopped in the state it achieves
when it has timed-up to 

5et t

 or timed-down

to zero,

 

with the elapsed or remaining time

when power was lost shown on the upper
display.  The Timer must be reset before it
can be restarted.   If the repeat timing cycle
is  in use  the number  of  cycles  completed
will be lost when the Timer is reset.   

Pau5e

The Timer is stopped in the state it achieves
following  receipt  of  a  stop  input  to  pause
timing   –   see   Fig   11.     The   elapsed   or
remaining  time  when  power  was  lost  is
shown  on  the  upper  display.  Timing
resumes  when  a  start  instruction  is
received.  If a start input exists when power
is restored timing will start

 

immediately.

Continue

When  power  is  restored  the  Timer  will
continue from where it stopped without

 

any

manual intervention.

To check or change the function, select
