4.3.2 Time response
Parameter T
At some of the SFs it is possible to configure a time value T. 
When you preset this time, note that your input values are 
based on the timebase set:
Timebase
B1      +
T =04:10h
Setting a time T of 250 minutes:
Unit in hours h:
04:00 hours 240 minutes
00:10 hours +10 minutes
= 250 minutes
Note
Always specify a time T in ≥ 0.02 s. The time T is not defined for T 
< 0.02 s.
Accuracy of T
Because of slight tolerances in the characteristics of 
electronic components, the set time T may deviate. IDEC 
SmartRelay has a maximum tolerance of ± 0.02%.
 
When 0.02% of the time T is smaller than 0.02 seconds, the 
maximum deviation is 0.02 seconds.
Example: 
The maximum tolerance per hour (3600 seconds) is ±0.02%, 
which is proportional to ± 0.72 seconds.
 
The maximum tolerance per minute (60 seconds) is ± 0.02 
seconds.
Accuracy of the timer (Seven-day/Twelve-month time switch)
To prevent timing inaccuracy of the real-time clock in C ver-
sions caused by this deviation, the timer value is continuous-
ly compared with a high-precision timebase and corrected. 
The resultant maximum timing inaccuracy is ± 5 s/day.
