Using Periodic Timers
The PM174 provides two programmable interval timers that
can be used for periodic recording and triggering operations
on a time basis via the Control Setpoints. When a timer
interval expires, the timer generates an internal event that can
trigger any setpoint (see “Using Alarm/Control Setpoints”).
To configure the device timers, select General Setup from the
Meter Setup menu, and then click on the Periodic Timers tab.
To run a periodic timer, specify a non-zero time period for the
timer. The time period can be set from 1 to 9999 seconds.
To stop a timer, set the time period to zero.
