8 Adjusting Run Timers
Start and end run timers are used to maximize the quality of the run for each car. The run
timers may need to be adjusted depending on the start and stop sequence.
SM1 Pick Delay – Delays the time between activating the primary start motor output and
activating a valve when the car is moving in the up direction.
If the SM1 Pick Delay is greater than required when the primary motor starts up, there may be
no oil to pump into the valve. This will cause an initial jerking motion during startup.
If the SM1 Pick Delay is less than required when the primary motor starts up, the motor and
valve activation may occur at the same time. This will cause a jerking motion due to the
increased amount of oil within the pump.
The adjustment range is from: 0 – 12.75 seconds.
• Default = 50 ms
• Units of Measure: ms
SM2 Pick Delay – Delays the time between activating the secondary start motor output and
primary start motor output. This delay is skipped if the secondary soft starter is not used.
If the SM2 Pick Delay is greater than required when the secondary motor starts up, the car can
either start slowly or not at all. The secondary motor also draws more current.
If the SM2 Pick Delay is less than required when the secondary motor starts up, there may be
an initial jerking motion at startup.
The adjustment range is from: 0 – 12.75 seconds.
• Default = 50 ms
• Units of Measure: ms
Delta Pick Delay – Delays the time between activating the delta output and activating the valve
outputs.
The adjustment range is from: 0 – 12.75 seconds.
Pump Off Delay – Delays the time between deactivating the valves and turning off the start
pump motor outputs.
If the pump off delay is greater than required, the motor would be on even when there is no oil
to pump.
If the pump off delay is less than required or set to zero, the motor would turn off and there
will be residual oil left in the pump.
