Acu-Rite CNC 3500i user manual Dwell, 133

Dwell:

Dwell (G4) can be used to program a delay between blocks. A Timed Dwell is a timed stop. An Infinite Dwell is a stop that can be canceled only by pressing START. With a dwell activated, the 3500i halts motions on all axes, but other functions (coolant on/off, spindle control) remain active. Do not program any other commands.

The time countdown is displayed in the Machine Status Area of the Manual Data Input, and Program Run screens.

Select the More Milling button, and then "Dwell" from the pop-up menu.

Conversational format: Dwell 15 (hold for 15 seconds), or Dwell 0 (hold infinitely).

G-code format: G4 T15 (hold for 15 seconds), or G4 T0 (hold infinitely)

It is recommended that the Programmed Stop M-function (M00) be used instead of an infinite dwell.
