4.7 Operation With the Timer
The 2132 can be used as a process timer allowing timed heating or timed delay, according to the
options in the table. There are 5 timer modes, but 2 of them are affected by whether the setpoint
ramp rate feature is being used, making 7 entries in the table. The table also shows the status of
the Timer Light on the 2132. A visual impression of the different modes is given in fig 3.
