Tip
For the telemeter connection specifications, to execute AIC using the internally set START TIME and
INTERVAL automatically even if the start signal is not inputted because of telemeter malfunction, set
AIC MODE to EXTERNAL.

START TIME
Set the time for starting the next AIC sequence.
Pressing the displayed START TIME setting will display the START TIME screen.
Fig. 23 START TIME screen
Press the value to be changed. The value will be highlighted, allowing you to change it.
Using the [
 ] and [  ] buttons, change the value.
Note

The START TIME setting is based on the internal clock.

The practical range of Year setting is 2000 to 2089.

The START TIME can not be set to any date that does not practically exist.
If the [SET] key is pressed with such a value entered, the nearest date and time will be set
automatically.

The START TIME can not be set to any time outside the current LIMIT (START-END) setting.
If the [SET] key is pressed with such a value entered, the setting is changed automatically so as
to be within the range.

Once the AIC sequence starts, the START TIME setting will be changed to the expected START
TIME of the next AIC (the current START TIME + INTERVAL). If the calculated time does not meet
the settable ranges of the LIMIT (START-END), it will be corrected automatically (see “4.3.2
Precautions in setting the AIC sequence” (page 21)).

If the START TIME is set to any time earlier than the current time, the setting will be changed to
the minimum later than the current time, which is obtained by adding an integral multiple of the
INTERVAL setting to the current START TIME. If the calculated time does not meet the settable
ranges of the LIMIT (START-END), it will be corrected automatically.

If the START TIME becomes earlier than the current time by adjusting the internal clock (see
“6.5.1 Time adjustment” (page 56)), the setting will be changed to the minimum later than the
current time, which is obtained by adding an integral multiple of the INTERVAL setting to the
current START TIME. If the calculated time does not meet the settable ranges of the LIMIT
(START-END), it will be corrected automatically.
