To adjust the timers you first scroll to the screen of the timer you want to adjust using
the A or B key. At that screen there will be flashing blocks over the time. Press the
green OK key and the numbers should now be flashing. While the numbers are
flashing you can us the + key to add time in 0.1 second increments of the – key to
subtract time in 0.1 second increments. When you get to the time you desire press the
Green OK key again and the numbers should have blocks flashing over them again.
When the machine is started the PLC will revert back to the Choice Bagging screen.
