4.1.2 Accessory Board Time Delay
Adjustment Switches
The 10-position rotary switches allow adjustment of the
time delays shown in Figure 4-2. Use a small
screwdriver or other small tool to increase or decrease
the time delays within the range shown in the table. The
rotary switch positions range from 1 to 10, with
position 10 labeled 0 (zero).
The factory settings are the same as the controller time
delays without the optional accessory board.
4.1.3 Accessory Board DIP Switches
DIP switches on the optional accessory board control
the exercise, remote test, and load control functions.
The DIP switch location is shown in Figure 4-1. The DIP
switch functions are summarized in Figure 4-3. Check
the DIP switch settings and adjust if necessary for the
application.
