Abstract
A solid state dual timer with adjustable 'long' and 'short' time intervals preferably providing a long normally operating period between consecutive test periods which are utilized for test purposes, wherein a 'delay' interval is provided at the initiation of each test period to allow the test conditions being imposed a sufficient time to settle. A highly advantageous application resides in the field of automated lubrication systems in which periodic pressure tests to monitor system integrity are performed, for example, every hour, the tests requiring a relatively brief time interval, the 'delay' interval being of a length sufficient to allow the system pressure to build up before the test instruments are activated. The normally operating interval and the test and 'delay' periods are all adjustable.
