11 Setting Up Timer Control
Operation
Danger
When the system is in stand-by mode, i.e. the green
LED is flashing, the compressor can start
automatically at any time.
11.1 Timer-Controlled Starting and
Stopping
The GD Pilot TS can be programmed to automatically
start and stop the compressor at pre-determined times
of the day or night, 7 days a week.
11.2 An Example of Timer-Controlled
Operation
A factory might work a 2-shift system where the
morning shift starts at 8 am (08:00 hours) and finishes
at 4 pm (16:00 hours). An evening shift might then start
at 5 pm (17:00) and finish at 1 am (01:00). There is no
weekend work.
The GD Pilot TS could then be programmed to start the
compressor at 07:50 and stop it at 16:10. The GD Pilot
TS could then re-start the compressor at 16:50 in
readiness for the evening shift. It could then stop the
compressor again at 01:10 after the end of the late shift.
11.3 Setting Compressor Start and Stop
Times
Note
Before setting up Timer Control Operation, ensure that
current date and time are set up correctly (see chapter
5.2).
If we take the previous example of a factory working a
2-shift system for 5 days a week, the timer control
would be set up as follows:
1) Touch
Settings > Timer Control > Timer
Start/Stop > Display / Adjust

Menu
The display will change to show eight timer channels.
Fig. 26
Timer Start/Stop
Menu
Each timer channel controls one compressor start time
and one compressor stop time and enables them to be
applied to one or more days of the week.
If a timer channel has been set, its button displays this
