Hold Time 

“Hold Time” is the default amount of time defined by the user for the instrument to maintain the control temperature or 
pressure. The instrument default hold time is five (5) minutes. When creating a new method, the hold time can be 
changed from the default hold time programmed in the “User Profiles.” 
1.  Use the “+/-” keys to highlight hold time. 
2.  Press the ENTER key. 
3.  Use the ARROW keys to toggle between hours, minutes and seconds. Use the “+/-” keys to increase and decrease
