Duty cycle
The Sealer "duty cycle" is defined as the time period, in seconds, between
consecutive, repetitive seals. It is significant for continuous and maximum
modes only; intermittent mode has no strict time interval between seals.
Warning: Every sealing mode must always be performed in accordance
with the sealing procedures described in Chapter 3 of this manual.
Table 2-3 lists suggested duty cycles to help users estimate their maximum
allowed sealing rate(s).
