Timing Mode:
Upon the application of input voltage the relay immediately energizes. The timing cycle
begins when input voltage is removed. When the timing cycle is complete, the relay will
de-energize. The relay contacts will reset when input voltage is reapplied.

Ordering Information:
Definition of a part number for the Amperite DOD Series Time Delay Relay.
Example:
A: Denotes nominal input voltage. Voltages Available: 12, 24 & 120V AC; 12, 24, 48 &
110V DC. Custom Voltages are available.
B: Denotes type of input current required for operation:

A = AC - Alternating Current
D = DC - Direct Current
C & D: Denotes range of knob adjustability for timing (in seconds or minutes) where:
C = Minimum time delay. D = Maximum time delay for adjustable TDR’S.
Note: 1.) Ranges available: See standard timing ranges above. Custom Timing is
available.
2.) Both values (C & D) can be replaced by a single value for a factory preset time delay
in seconds or minutes from 0.1 secs. through 300 secs.
E: Denotes use of seconds or minutes in timing value(s), S = seconds, M = minutes.
F: Enter "L" if optional 11-pin spade terminals are required (Diagrams B & D).
G: Denotes DPDT (2 form C) 4 amp delay on dropout DOD Series Time Delay Relay.
