Comfort II Ultra as 32 user Timers which can be used to implement delays from a Response to another.
The format of the Timer action is as follows;
"Do Response X after Y seconds using Timer Z"
This means that Timer Z (1 to 32) is started for a duration of Y seconds (1 to 65534 seconds) at the end of which, Response X is activated
Important:
Note that the Timer action merely starts the timer, the action does not wait for the timer to expire, for example
Response 123
Output 1 ON
Do Response 200 after 60 seconds using Timer 20
Output 2 ON
End of response
Response 200
Output 3 ON
End of Response
When Response 123 is activated, Output 1 will turn on, Timer 20 is started, and Output 2 is turned on. This means Output 1 and 2 will appearr to turn on almost simultaneously. Output 3 will turn on after 60 seconds
Some may have the wrong idea that Output 1 turns on, then after a delay of 60 seconds Response 200 is activated, then only output 2 turns on. This is incorrect.
There is no delay by actions within a Response. All actions are executed one after the other
There is a topic on how to Flash lights during an alarm in http://www.comfortforums.com/forum83/1681.html
This is a good example of the use of timers and how useful they can be.
