FAQs

What is the voltage requirement for this timer relay?

This Finder 85 Series timer relay requires a 24V AC or 24V DC power supply.

How many functions does this relay offer?

The relay offers 4 programmable functions, providing flexibility for various timing applications.

What is the maximum load this relay can control?

The dual changeover contacts are rated for a maximum of 10A at 250VAC.

Do I need a special socket for this relay?

Yes, this is a plug-in timer relay and requires a compatible Finder 85 Series socket base for installation and connection.

Can I use this relay for simple on/off switching?

Yes, depending on the programmed function, it can be used for basic timed on/off switching tasks. Some functions are designed for specific delays or cyclings.

What is the 'dual changeover' feature?

Dual changeover means the relay has two sets of contacts (form C or SPDT). Each set has a common terminal, a normally open (NO) terminal, and a normally closed (NC) terminal, allowing control of two independent circuits.

Is this relay suitable for household applications?

While functional, it is primarily designed and optimized for industrial control applications. For simpler domestic timing needs, other specialized products might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Relay does not power on.

Verify that the 24V AC/DC power supply is correctly connected to the socket base terminals and is providing the correct voltage. Check all wiring connections for security.

Relay does not switch contacts.

Confirm that the correct function and time settings have been selected. Ensure the input signal (if applicable for certain functions) is present. Check if the load connected to the contacts exceeds the 10A/250VAC rating.

Timing is inaccurate.

Ensure the power supply voltage is stable and within the specified range. Re-check the programmed time settings for clarity. Extreme ambient temperatures can sometimes affect precision.

Relay chattering or humming.

This may indicate an unstable power supply or a voltage mismatch. Confirm the power source is stable 24V AC/DC. If using AC, ensure it's a clean sine wave.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile with four programmable functions.
  • Compact and easy to install due to its plug-in design.
  • Dual changeover contacts allow for control of multiple circuits.
  • Reliable contact rating for industrial loads (10A/250VAC).
  • Operates on a common industrial voltage (24V AC/DC).

Cons

  • Requires a specific 24V AC/DC power supply.
  • Programming may require a learning curve for users unfamiliar with timer relays.
  • Only compatible with specific socket bases for plug-in functionality.
  • Primarily suited for industrial applications, less so for domestic use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power supply is OFF before installation.
  2. Select a compatible Finder socket base (sold separately) and mount it securely.
  3. Connect the power supply (24V AC/DC) and control circuit wiring to the appropriate terminals on the socket base.
  4. Insert the Finder 85 Series timer relay (85.02.0.024.0000) into the socket base, ensuring it clicks into place.
  5. Program the desired functions and timing parameters using the rotary switches and buttons on the relay face.
  6. Restore power to the unit and test the programmed sequence.

Compatibility:

  • Power Supply: Requires a 24V AC or 24V DC power source. Ensure your power supply meets these specifications.
  • Socket Bases: Designed for use with specific Finder 85 Series plug-in socket bases. Refer to the socket base manufacturer's documentation for terminal layout and compatibility.
  • Load Types: Suitable for resistive and inductive loads within the 10A/250VAC rating. Heavier loads or those with high inrush currents may require a supplementary contactor.

Care:

  • Keep the relay and socket base clean and free from dust and moisture.
  • Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures or corrosive environments.
  • Periodically inspect wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear.
  • No user-serviceable parts inside. If the unit malfunctions, replace it.
