SEQUENCING TIMERS FOR
EFFICIENT OPERATION
24
Machine Status
1 Trim
2 Stopped (Next machine in sequence)
3 Stopped
If the system pressure drops below the Sequence Load pressure (102) but is above the
Lowest Pressure (70), the next machine in sequence (2) will start and trim, and the
previously trimming machine (1) will go to full load after the Delay Start timer expires. If
the pressure is at 85 then the machine will start in about 1 minute as noted above.
Machine Status
1 Full Load
2 Trim
3 Stopped (Next machine in sequence)
If the system pressure stays below the Sequence Load pressure then the next machine
in sequence (3) will start after the Delay Start timer expires. If the pressure is at 85 then
the machine will start in about 1 minute as noted above.
Machine Status
1 Full Load
2 Full Load
