FAQs
On-Delay Timer (TON): The most common type. After an input signal is received, there is a delay before the output switches on. It stays on as long as the input signal is present.
Interval Timer (IMPulse): The output switches on immediately upon an input signal and remains on for a pre-set time period before switching off, regardless of the ongoing input signal.
Cyclic (ON/OFF) Timer: Automatically cycles the output on and off for pre-set time intervals repeatedly, perfect for applications like sprinkler systems or periodic ventilation.
Star-Delta Changeover: A specialized timer used to automatically switch a motor’s connection from a Star (startup) configuration to a Delta (running) configuration after a pre-set time.
Multi-Attempt Timer: Designed for engine starting sequences. It provides multiple, timed attempts to start an engine with resting periods in between, preventing battery drain and starter motor damage.
Single Function: The timer is pre-configured to perform only one specific timing operation (e.g., only On-Delay).
Multi-Function: The same timer unit can be programmed or configured via a selector switch to operate in several different modes (e.g., On-Delay, Off-Delay, Interval, etc.). This offers greater versatility.
You need to consider four key specifications:
Supply Voltage: What voltage powers the timer’s internal circuit (e.g., 24V DC, 110V AC, 240V AC, or multi-voltage)?
Function: What timing operation do you need (e.g., On-Delay, Interval, Cyclic)?
Time Range: What is the required duration? (e.g., 0.1 seconds to 10 minutes, or 1 second to 100 hours).
Application: What is it controlling? (e.g., motor contactor, solenoid valve, warning lamp). This determines the required output contact type and rating.
To ensure you get the correct product, have the following information ready:
- The Product Family and Model Name.
- The required Control Supply Voltage.
- The specific Application or function needed.
- The necessary Time Range.
