1.1 Product Description
The roduction cycle timer (PCT) is a s ecial ur ose numeric marquee designed to ace the roduction rate of a
manual rocess with long cycle times. The PCT GOAL line dis lays the o erator entered goal cycle time. This
field does not change unless adjusted by the o erator via the key ad. The PCT ACTUAL line starts at the
rogramed goal cycle time, and times down to zero. Once zero has been reached, the ACTUAL line begins to
flash and time u to dis lay the amount of cycle time overage. The PCT can be configured to time in tenths of
seconds, seconds, tenths of minutes, minutes, tenths of hours, or hours. See section 1.4.7 for directions on how
to select the timing mode.
If the PCT has the o tional RED / YLW stack light installed, then PCT o erator may s ecify a yellow time length,
and a red time length in addition to the goal cycle time. Initially when the PCT is reset, the stack light starts out off.
After some time has ela sed the stack light will switch from off to yellow. Then after the rogrammed yellow time
has ela sed the stack light will switch from yellow to red. Then after the rogrammed red time has ela sed the
stack light will switch from red to flashing red.
By default, the stack light switches from off to yellow when the actual time remaining reaches zero (Time Minus
Mode). However the PCT can be configured so that the stack light transitions from red to flashing red when the
actual time remaining reaches zero (Time Plus Mode). See section 1.4.8 for directions on how to select time
minus mode or time lus mode.
The PCT has seven logic in uts (HOLD, T-RST, B-RST, CNT-1, CNT-2, CNT-3, CNT-4). The HOLD in ut auses
the PCT timer for as long as the in ut is activated. Both the T-RST and the B-RST reset in uts reset the actual
timer to the rogrammed goal cycle time. All four CNT-x count in uts also reset the actual timer to the
rogrammed goal cycle time. During breaks activate the HOLD in ut to ause the actual timer. At the start of
each cycle, ulse one of the reset or count in uts to reset the actual timer back to the rogrammed goal cycle
time.
A 1 Farad Su er-Ca backs u the CCTs memory. The Su er-Ca allows the PCT to retain o erational values for
five days without ower. Unlike batteries, Su er-Ca s do not require s ecial recharge circuitry and have an
ex ected life s an in excess of 10 years.
The PCT is enclosed in a NEMA-1 black satin ainted 16-gauge steel enclosure with a 1/8” thick, acrylic dis lay
lens. The enclosure is designed to be mounted to a wall by four holes in the back of the enclosure.
