Input Timer
(minutes)
As a Countdown Timer
– If Auto Stop or Auto Standby is cho-
sen, then the Input Timer works as a countdown timer, which
waits for the next cycling pulse. Each cycle-pulse resets the
timer so that the console does not go into the Stop or Standby
mode.
As a Delay Timer
– If Stop or Standby is chosen, then this
timer starts as soon as the input pulse is received and after
a preset time period it switches the console into the selected
Stop or Standby mode.
This option is
dependent on
the Input Signal
option.
The maximum
period for Input
Timer is 25
minutes.
Power Alarm
Display
Pauses the Power Alarm by a preset time (in minutes), so it
does not instantly cause an alarm effect.
Defaults to 0
minutes delay.
Power Mode

for controllers with normal probes.

• If there are no current measuring coils, the option should
be set to percent, otherwise the Power / Current display
will show zero for controllers with spear probes.
Also chooses if amps or percentage power is displayed while a
boost signal is received.
• Choosing [
Percent
] will display the percentage power
level that is being applied to the tips during the Boost part
of the mold cycle.

percentage power that is being applied to the body only
• Selecting [
Amps
] allows you to see the preheat and boost
current in the tips.
Second
Startup

completed a Startup sequence and reached normal tempera-
ture
• [
RUN
] is the default condition.

BOOST
] will temporarily apply boost settings until it times
out.

temperature until it is manually or remotely changed.
