Proportional and ORP Over Run:
For a feeder, proportional control isn’t needed because the relay will
stay on until the setpoint is achieved. ORP Over Run allows for 0, 5, 10 or 15mv to be added to the
setpoint, it will turn on at the setpoint, and off at the setpoint plus this value.
On Time and MinTimeOn:
For liquid, the On Time is part of the cycle, it will be on for the programmed On
Time or less and then the MinTimeOff will start which allows the added chemicals to mix. For the Feeder,
the MinTime On is the minimum amount of time the relay will be on, even if the setpoint is achieved. Note
that the relay may be on longer than this time if the setpoint isn’t achieved within the programmed time.
