7.5.4.1 Setting the Timer Contact Interval
If you configure one of the dry contacts to act as a timer, the next step is to set the value of the timer.
Time can be entered in units of 0.5 second; e.g. 120 units of 0.5 seconds = 60 seconds. However, it is more
intuitive to enter time in the hh:mm:ss format, such as 00:01:00 for 1 minute or 60 seconds. Both methods
are shown in the following example.
