Chapter 5: Setting Cycle Dwell Time
This machine is equipped with a dual timer. After both cycle times are set, the operator can
change the cycle time by pressing either the Cycle Time A or Cycle Time B button. To set the
cycle dwell time, perform the following:

While the control panel is in Monitoring Mode, press and release either Cycle Time A or
Cycle Time B buttons to select the cycle time that you want to set. After selecting either
Cycle Time A or Cycle Time B, press and hold the Cycle Time button. After
approximately two seconds, the panel’s Up Arrow and Down Arrow buttons will light
and the Cycle Time button blinks, as shown in Figure 5-1. This puts the control panel in
the Set Mode. Release the Cycle Time button. The control panel will display the current
setting for the cycle dwell time.

range from .5 seconds to 99.5 seconds (in .5 second increments) and from 100 to 999
seconds (in 1 second increments).

After you reach the number of seconds that you want to set as the cycle dwell time,
press and release the Cycle Time button again to save the setting and to return the
control panel to Monitoring Mode.
