An example of timed mode operation
If TIMED is set at 3 minutes, 8 cycles, and a minimum pressure. If SUBLEVEL is 50 amps, ON
TIME is 30 sec, and ACTIVE specifies filament 2 — then FIL 2 fires immediately for 30 sec,
and then fires every 3 minutes thereafter for 7 additional times, but only if pressure is above the
setup value.
CONTINUOUS
CONTINUOUS mode turns the TSP on and leaves it on, until you manually turn it off. When in
TSP SETUP, press
Menu
to cycle to CONTINUOUS. Press
ENTER
to display TSP ON, and
press
ENTER
again to enable this mode.
