Time Clock Controller with Minimum Run Timer
An irrigation pump fed from a well with a single float level control
needs to come on every other day at 5:30 PM, and run for ½ hour.
If during that ½ hour the well level drops and shuts the pump
down, the pump needs to restart when the well recovers and finish
the ½ hour pump time.
Set F030 to [0001] for Minimum Run Timer
.
This will ensure that when the well level recovers and resets the
run command, the starter will finish the time sequence.
Set F031 to [0030] (minutes)
This is the Batch Time that ensures the proper amount of irrigation
getting to the crop.
Set F032 to [0002] for Every 2
nd
Day
This will begin the Start Even Cycle on the day of programming
and every other day from then on.
Set F033 to [17.30]
This is the 24HR time value representing 5:30 PM. At this time,
every other day, the
TE Series
starter will automatically start
(provided the Stop float in the well is closed) and run for 30
minutes as programmed in F030.
If the pump needs to come on again at 7:00 PM, program F034 to
[19.00].
If later on it is needed to come on at 6:00 AM as well,
simply change any other unused start time, i.e. F038 to
[06.00].
Even though this is Event #6 and the lower numbered events had
later start times in the program, the starter will execute #6 on time
in the next available cycle.
If the pump needs to come on every day, program F032 to
[0001].
NOTE:
If programming is entered AFTER the set time value, the TCC will
wait until the next valid time before executing (i.e. if you entered the
above example program changes at 5:35 PM, the pump would not
come on automatically until 5:30 PM 2 days from now).
