Chapter 10: Cycle Count
The control panel’s cycle count feature allows you to accurately track the number of times the
DES-42 has been actuated for the full-cycle dwell time and “short” cycle time on both the cycle
A time and the cycle B time since the cycle count was last reset. Each time you actuate the heat
seal machine for a completed cycle time setting, the control panel adds one (1) to its current
cycle count. If the machine is actuated and it is “short” cycled, it will add one (1) to its current
“short” cycle count. The control panel’s display area can display numbers from 0 to 999, but it
also uses decimal points, as shown in Table 10-1, to indicate cycle count values of 0 to 3999.

Cycle Count Values
To view cycle count and “short” cycle count on cycle time A:
1.
Press and release the Cycle Time A button.
2.
Press and release the Cycle Count button to view the current full cycle count.
3.
To view the current short cycle count, press and hold the cycle count button. After
approximately 2 seconds the
button will light. Press and release the
button to view the short cycles.
To view cycle count and “short” cycle count on cycle time B:
1.
Press and release the Cycle Time B button.
2.
Press and release the Cycle Count button to view the current full cycle count.
3.
To view the current short cycle count, press and hold the cycle count button. After
approximately 2 seconds the
button will light. Press and release the
button to view the short cycles.
You cannot use the control panel to increase the cycle count value; the count only increases
when the heat seal machine is successfully actuated for the full duration of the cycle dwell
time. You can, however, lower the count by increments of one (to reflect uses that were not
successful for reasons other than insufficient time) or reset the count completely to zero (0); for
assistance, see the procedures in
Resetting Cycle Count
on the next page.
