2. The Deactivation Delay setting controls how long the trigger needs to not sense the
current flowing before the attached tool is considered off. This setting is used when a tool
might cause repeated on/off current spikes (e.i., CNC or laser). The desired functionality is
that these quick power spikes should not be viewed as lots of on/off commands, but
instead wait for the current to stop flowing for the length of time specified in this setting
before considering the tool to be off.
3. The Unlock Measurement Delay* setting controls how long the trigger will wait between
unlocking and measuring the current from the attached tool. For instance, some tools
have a soft start that require this value be set above zero. If you find that GRIT is not
correctly sensing a tool that was left in the ON position when the trigger is unlocked, this
value needs to be adjusted higher. The higher the value, the longer GRIT will wait before
checking for current flow.
*Be aware, the downside of this setting is that if it is set too high, it will allow a tool to
unintentionally run longer than it would need to during an Emergency Lock situation.
TRIGGERS
Example: A power graph of a
laser would show the need for a
Deactivation Delay setting set
above 0 sec. so that the system
does not think the machine is no
longer running each time the
laser stops firing.
