Timer value Bits 5 to 1 represent the binary coded timer value. Timer unit Bits 6 to 8 defines the timer value unit for the timer as follows: Bits 8 7 6 0 0 0 value is incremented in multiples of 2 seconds 0 0 1 value is incremented in multiples of 1 minute 0 1 0 value is incremented in multiples of 10 minutes 0 1 1 value is incremented in multiples of 1 hour 1 0 0 value is incremented in multiples of 10 hours 1 1 1 value indicates that the timer is infinite Other values shall be interpreted as multiples of 1 minute in this version of the protocol. Timer unit and Timer value both set to all "zeros" shall be interpreted as an indication that the timer is stopped. |
