3 Operation NEW STEVENS QMT Stevens has redesigned the Quartz Multispeed Timer to allow for a more efficient switch configuration for setting of chart speeds. Below is a layout of the new switch, located on the timer circuit board. The switch is accessed by removing the cover of the QMT.
3 Operation between the adjustable arm's pivot screws. 3.3 Gage Scales Be careful not to tighten the pivot screws too tight so as to bind the stylus arm.
