Manual run time for a relay

A user may override a relay's programming and drive the relay (output) for a define period of MINUTES.  This is sometimes referred to as a "slug feed" or "hand mode". 

To drive a relay for a set period of time:

1. From the Summary Page click on the three buttons under the ACTIONS header of the target output (relay)

2. From the drop down select "Slug feed"

3. Enter desired run time in MINUTES then select the SAVE button

 At the end of the SLUG FEED (duration in minutes) the controller will automatically revert back to the programed operation
