FAQs

What are the 7 timing functions offered by this relay?

The 7 functions are: delay-on energization, delay on de-energization, floating contact on energization, pulse shaping, flashing starting with pulse, and fixed time delay (for both ON and OFF delays if applicable via specific configuration, though the primary listed are delay-on, delay-off, pulse, flash).

What is the maximum time setting possible?

The maximum time setting is 360,000 seconds, which is equivalent to 100 hours.

Can I use this relay with both AC and DC power?

Yes, the relay is designed to operate with a wide control supply voltage range of 24-230V AC/DC.

What is the contact rating of the outputs?

The relay has 2 changeover contacts, each rated for a maximum current of 8A.

How is the time setting adjusted?

Time settings are adjusted using the rotary switches located on the front panel of the relay.

What type of socket is required for plug-in installation?

A standard 11-pin relay socket is required for plug-in installation.

Does this relay have a manual override function?

While it doesn't have a direct manual override switch for the output contacts, it features pause and reset function inputs that can be triggered externally, allowing for control over the timing sequence.

Troubleshooting

Relay does not power on.

Verify that the control supply voltage is correctly connected to terminals A1 and A2 and falls within the 24-230V AC/DC range. Check for loose connections or a faulty power source.

Timing sequence does not start.

Ensure the correct timing function and time range have been selected using the front panel switches. Check that the trigger signal is applied correctly and that any pause/reset inputs are not active.

Outputs are not switching.

Confirm that the input voltage is sufficient to energize the relay coil. Check the load wiring to the output contacts and ensure the load itself is functional and within the 8A rating.

Inaccurate timing.

Double-check the selected time range and fine-tuning settings. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the operating range, as extreme temperatures can affect timing precision.

Relay cycles intermittently.

Inspect connections for stability. If the issue persists, consider environmental factors such as vibration or electrical noise that might be interfering with operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile with 7 timing functions for various applications.
  • Wide operating voltage range (24-230V AC/DC) enhances compatibility.
  • Robust 8A rating on dual changeover contacts supports significant loads.
  • Extended time range capabilities from milliseconds to 100 hours.
  • Pause and reset functions add operational flexibility.
  • Plug-in or front mount installation options for easy integration.

Cons

  • The variety of functions may present a learning curve for novice users.
  • Requires a stable external power supply.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring less than 0.05 seconds timing precision.
  • 11-pin connector terminal type may require specific mating components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Power Connection: Connect the control supply voltage to terminals A1 and A2, respecting the 24-230V AC/DC range.
  2. Input Configuration: Wire any necessary inputs for pause or reset functions to their designated terminals.
  3. Output Wiring: Connect the load circuits to the 2 changeover contacts (typically terminals 1, 2, 3 and 6, 7, 8).
  4. Function and Range Selection: Use the rotary switches on the front panel to select the desired timing function and adjust the time range and fine-tuning settings.
  5. Mounting: Install the relay by either plugging it into a compatible 11-pin socket or using the front mounting bracket.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: Compatible with AC and DC power sources within the 24-230V range.
  • Load: Suitable for loads up to 8A at voltages up to 264.5V AC/DC.
  • Sockets: Requires a standard 11-pin relay socket for plug-in installation.

Care:

  • Environment: Operate in a clean, dry environment. Avoid excessive dust, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
  • Cleaning: If necessary, clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected before cleaning.
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the relay when installed in a control panel to prevent overheating.
