package, or as a batch counter to track the amount of completed cycles. 1 ms
resolution with transistor outputs make this unit well suited for high speed
processes.
Inside this manual you will find complete information on the Control mode, which
deals with viewing and changing the available setpoints, and Program Mode which is
used to configure the basic operation of the timer, as well as set a variety of other
useful features.
Also found in this manual are detailed timing diagrams and descriptions of the
available operating functions to aid you in determining how to properly configure the
unit to solve your application. Additionally included are key product specifications,
warranty procedures and ordering
information should you require additional
