Operation of the panel (AUTO mode)
Start/Stop signals
In automatic mode, the DEMIO control panel starts running when a start signal is received
and stops running (or executes the STOP DELAY) when a stop signal is received or when
the RUN TIME is reached. There are 3 possible start signals and 3 possible stop signals. No
matter which START and STOP signals are used they all have the same effect.
Start signals:
Start key (Front of panel, see Figure 1).
Start signal (Two wire START/STOP signal): A start signal is received when this
input is activated (ON). If this input is deactivated (OFF), it is not considered as a
Stop signal. This signal is usually used with the Stop signal and/or a run time.
Control signal (One wire START/STOP signal): A start signal is received when
this input transitions to ON. When this input is transitioned from ON to OFF, a
stop signal is received.
Stop signals:
Stop key (Front of panel, see Figure 1).
Stop signal (Two wire START/STOP signal): A stop signal is received when this
input is activated (ON).
Control signal (One wire START/STOP signal): A stop signal is received when
this input transitions from ON to OFF.
Timer definitions
Up to three timers can be programmed to run in the following order: Start delay, Run time
and Stop delay. A timer is deactivated when it is set to 0 (“--:--” will be displayed). See
example of operation below. Only one timer is activated at a time.
Start delay: The start delay is active when any of 3 start signals is received. The output will
be turned ON only after the start delay is reached.
Run time: The run timer is active after the start delay (or with a start signal, if no start delay
is programmed). It is the time for which the output of the panel will be active (ON) if no
Stop Signal is received. If any three Stop Signals is received before the end of the run time,
the timer is deactivated.
Stop time: The stop timer is active after receiving one of three Stop Signals: Stop signal,
Control signal (ON to OFF transition) or Stop key, or when a RUN TIME has reached its set
time.
