Output mode and time delay

All electronics cassettes have a rotating switch for setting the output to be "Dry On" (on
when the fork is sufficiently dry) or "Wet On" (on when the fork is sufficiently wet).
The electronics uses hysteresis to help prevent constant switching of the output from dry-
to-wet and wet-to-dry states due to splashing or intermediate conditions. To further
prevent false switching, the rotating switch also sets a time delay of up to 30 seconds
before the output changes.
A small cut-out in the rotating switch indicates the present mode and time delay.

The recommended mode for high level alarm installations is the "Dry On" mode
