MODEL 268A-1T CHARGED PLATE ANALYZER
WITH VARIABLE TIMER OPTION
VARIABLE TIMER OPTION
The Model 268A-1T Charged Plate Monitor with variable timer stop option has
the same two timer ranges as the standard unit when set in the “FIXED” mode of
operation. In the optional “VARIABLE” timer mode, timing will start at either 5000
volts or 1000 volts as selected by the user. The timer will then stop at a user-
selected voltage set on the front panel mounted turns-counting dial from 0 to
1000 volts with 1-volt increments.
This option is available either factory installed at the time of purchase or as a
factory installed aftermarket upgrade to the basic Model 268A-1
