3.1.4

Setting the Refill Timer

Refill timer set-up equipment required:

• Stop watch

Refill timer set-up procedure:

1. Execute a refill

2. Start a stop watch when the refill begins

3. Stop the stop watch when the refill is compete and the discharge

device stops discharging product.

4. Select the ALARM menu.

5. Select the sub-menu ALARM LIMITS.

6. Select <MAX REFILL TIME> parameter.

7. Enter a value =1.25* the stop watch value.
