Mode 2: Elapsed Time Mode
This mode monitors the time of a continuously variable
process. Say, for example, a baker wants to know the
amount of time needed to bake cookies. By using a
stopwatch, he could measure the amount of time it takes
at a known speed of the conveyor. Or, the baker could
calculate this time by using the distance formula d=vt.
By knowing the calculation time (parameter 4) and rpm of
the sensing gear (parameter 2), the baker can continu-
ously monitor the time as the process varies.

Parameter 1:
Sensing Gear – Pulses per Revolution
This example shows how to change the parameter from 1
to 60 pulses per revolution.
1. Set the unit to mode 2.
2. Press mode key.
3. Press shift key 4 times.
4. Press increment key 6 times.
5. Press shift key.
6. Press increment key 9 times.
Parameter 2: Sensing Gear — RPM
Here's how to change the parameter from 200 to 100 rpm:
1. Press mode key.
2. Press shift key 3 times.
3. Press increment key 9 times.
Parameter 5: Update Time
1. Press mode key.
2. Press shift key to select update
times.
The parameter settings are now
complete. Press data set key to start
elapsed time counter.
Parameter 3: Time Units
1. Press mode key.
2. Press shift key to select units.
Unit symbols:
=. hour/minute or minute/second
–. second/second
Parameter 4: Calculation Time
1. Press mode key.
2. Press shift and increment keys to
program time calculated.
If the display shows --=.E9 --=.E9 --=.E9 --=.E9 --=.E9, an entry error has been
made. Reprogram the unit using the shift and increment
keys.
