The default off-delay is 99 hours hard coded in program and on a power cycle it reverts to this value. The problem I have is if I set the off-delay to say 1 hour and let it complete it will use 1 hour next time i run it. I would like a way to reset it to default (99 hours) after it has counted down the default or custom value without loosing ability to set time from display.

This means that the start value (DEFAULT) and the counter value (ONCE-OFF) must be entered in minutes in the display. 99 hours = 99 * 60 = 5940 minutes. So 5940 would have to be entered.

The time values of Default and Once-Off can be entered via the display as usual in the hh:mm format. If the time value is changed from once-off, it is automatically switched to once-off value. When the timer has expired, it is automatically switched back to the default value. See also the screen video in the attachment. Attachment Swichting after run to default time.zip (225 Downloads)
