Type 1 - On Delay

on-delay timing diagramAdjustable time delay on energizing

  • Closing the control circuit starts the time delay
  • Opening the control circuit during timing resets time delay to zero
    no accumulation of time delay or false output


Type 2 - Off Delay

  • Closing the control circuit energizes output
  • Opening the control circuit starts the time delay
  • Reclosing the control circuit during timing resets time delay to zero
    no accumulation of time delay or false output


Type 3 - Programmable

User programmable to either On Delay, Off Delay, Pulsed Interval or Maintained Interval

Type 4 - Pulsed Interval

  • Closing the control circuit initiates timed output pulse
  • Opening and closing the control circuit during timing will not effect timing or output


Type 5 - Maintained Interval

  • Closing the control circuit starts timed output interval
  • Opening the control circuit during timing resets time delay to zero and de-energizes output


Type 6 - Pulsed Off-On One Cycle

  • Closing the control circuit initiates timing sequence
  • Opening and closing the control circuit during timing will not effect timing or output


Type 7 - Maintained Off-On One Cycle

  • Closing the control circuit starts timing sequence
  • Opening the control circuit during timing resets both time delays to zero and de-energizes output


Type 8 - On Delay/Off Delay

  • Closing the control circuit starts timing sequence
  • Combines functions of On Delay and Off Delay into a single timer


Type 9 - Repeat Cycle

  • Closing the control circuit starts timing sequence
  • Opening the control circuit during either timing period resets both time delays to zero and de-energizes output
