FROM THE MANUAL

The TL-Timer is an additional tool for laser machines.

It will control laser machines periphery like air pump, exhaust fan, warning lights, heat alarm detector, electrical locks and lot of other stuff automatically.

This will increase the ease of use of your laser machine.

Please note the different types of connection, which makes the TL-Timer able to work with each kind of laser controller.

Operation:

Normal use:

The TL-Timer is selected Auto mode as factory setting.

Under Auto mode, when the laser is not at work, air assist and exhaust fan won’t be on; When the laser is working, the air assist and exhaust fan starts, after the job finished, the air assist will stop after 10 second, exhaust fan will stop after 15 second.

Under Manual mode, when the laser is powered on, the air assist and exhaust fan will be on all the time

Each “OUT” interface has a freely adjustable delay time from 0-99 seconds.

 

Set up delay time:

Generally, there’s only need to set up the delay time for air assist and exhaust fan, so they can be delay to shutdown according to your need. The default for air assist is 10 second, and for exhaust fan is 15 second.

 

Click “Set” button to select from OUT1 to OUT8 interface and the LED light display will show you the delay time in second for each interface. On each interface, click “down” or “up” button you can change the value, then click “Set” button to confirm and go into the next interface. On the OUT8 interface, click again the “Set” button, the display will be off and exit the delay time setup.
