6.2 Delayed start
In the DQ 01 controller it is possible to define a delayed start. If this menu item is chosen,
the screen for entering the start delay will be displayed.
In this screen the number of hours and minutes delay can be entered. Changing values can
be done with the NUMERIC keys and with the PLUS and MINUS buttons. Changing the cursor to
another edit-field can be done with the ARROW UP and/or ARROW DOWN buttons. Confirming a
value must be done with the ENTER button.
If the ENTER button is pushed when the cursor is on the minute field, the delayed start will
be activated and the overview screen will be activated again. If both the number of hours and the
number of minutes are set to 0, the delayed start timer will be preset to 30 seconds, which is the
minimum time for a delayed start. The maximum time adjustable for a delayed start is 11 hours and
59 minutes.
In the overview screen, the message ‘delayed start in:’ will be displayed, followed by the
time until the machine will start in HH:MM:SS format.
The dryer will count down until the delayed start time displayed is 0, and then it will start
the selected program. For safety reasons, the beeper will sound 5 seconds before the machine starts.
If delayed start is activated, and a program cycle is started manually, the delayed start will
be cancelled. Cancelling the delayed start can also be done with the STOP button.

per day (‘Counters per day’) and counter set with totals of all programs and all days (‘Counters in
total’). The fourth set is a non-resettable counter set, used to read counters processed since the
controller was fabricated.
6.3.1 Counters per program
With the counter set ‘Counters per program’ the user can read how many batches and how
many operating minutes have been done in a certain program. If the item ‘Counters per program’ is
chosen from the counter menu, the counters of the current active program will be displayed. On the
1
st
line the number and name of the program can be seen. The 2
nd
line has the name of the counter,
followed by the value of the counter.
With the PLUS and MINUS buttons the counters of the next and previous program can be
viewed. Scrolling through the available counters per program is done with the ARROW UP and
ARROW DOWN buttons. There are 2 different counters:
Number of batches The number of batches processed in this program since the last reset

since the last reset.
Resetting the counters of a program can be done by pushing the CLEAR button (SHIFT
