Entering the Time and Starting the Timer
Upon
pressing the “Stopwatch” icon when the timer is not in operation, the numeric entry keypad will be shown.
The run time is entered as a period of time in hours, minutes and seconds. To make time entry easy, the entry
will automatically be formatted into time as the number keys are pressed. For example, if the run time is to be
thirty seconds long, just enter a value of 30. If the run time is one minute and thirty seconds, enter a value of
130 for 1 minute, 30 seconds.
If the run time is one hour and thirty minutes, enter a value of 13000 for 1 hour, 30 minutes and 00 seconds.
One hour and thirty minutes can also be interpreted as a total time of 90 minutes; therefore, you can also enter
a value of 9000 for 90 minutes, 00 seconds. Upon pressing the ‘Start’ button, the timer will begin operation and
the countdown will be displayed and begin as 1:30:00.
After the time is entered, pressing the “Start” button on the keypad will activate the timer. The operator can
also exit by pressing the “Cancel” button without starting the timer. Once the timer is started, the current time
value will be saved. This allows the timer to be used repeatedly without having to re-enter the time each use.
Every subsequent time the “Stopwatch” icon is pressed to activate the timer, the previous time value will be
automatically entered on
the keypad. The timer can then be activated by simply pressing the “Start” button on
the keypad. The operator can also begin entering a new time if desired which will automatically overwrite the
previous value.
