Japanese naval bomb time fuze query

Please see the attached photos of a Japanese naval bomb fuze. As you can see, it has a time calibration scale. My question is, what was the time delay for, the time before the fuze was live or the delay before detonation once the bomb had landed?

many thanks, Dave
