Timers

The controller has an internal clock which is used not only to keep time, but to ensure programed events happen at the correct
times. The following sections are used to configure settings associated with timing functions.

NOTE

: The controller has an on-board backup battery to keep time even when main power is not supplied to the unit.

This battery has an unpowered (no main power) lifetime of approximately five years.

4.5.1

Engine Logic

The following settings determine how the controller starts and stops the engine. It gives the user the functionality to add delays and
timers to the sequences. Most of the settings have a switched output associated with them that must be set in the

Switched

Outputs

settings.

NOTE

: Setting a timer's value to 0 seconds will disable the timer. Example: If Delay to Start is set to 0 seconds, the

controller will not perform a Delay to Start when starting the engine.
