Use Numeric Resource as Operator in Process Flow

I have 2 processors, 2 operators and 2 product types to go through the system.

Processing Product 1 does not need any operator, while processing Product 2 needs an Operator, so I use a numeric resource as token.resource, but it prompts error "Error: Bad Task Executer/Task Sequence reference in starting Task Executer activity "Process Item 1" in "Processor With Operator""

How to fix?

If you don't need an operator you don't need to acquire any resource, just use a Delay activity to represent the time it takes to process the item. See the attached model.
