Timer/Elapsed Timer Control (Extrusion & Blow Molding Applications)
The Timer/Elapsed Timer control is designed for use with continuous processes like extrusion and blow molding and features a timer and elapsed time module.
Timer Module
This feature of the controller assists in calibration of the additive feeder (See Page 20 for specific calibration instructions.).
1.Set the timer to the desired calibration period, using the round timer keys (see the timer information sheet for additional information.)
2.Start the additive feeder by flipping the motor switch to the MANUAL position.
3.When the timer times out, the feeder will automatically stop.
Elapsed Time Module
The elapsed time module may be used as an inventory management aid for continuous processing operations.
The timer module measures the time the additive feeder control receives the monitored control relay signal from the extruder/blow molder machine. The timer module has a battery- backed memory and will not lose the elapsed time of operation if the electrical power is interrupted.
•Press the RESET button to reset the counter.
Note: Remove the jumper on the back of the module to lock out the reset button. Replace the jumper to restore reset button operation. Disconnect power before moving the jumper.
