GT3 Series Instructions
Instructions: Wiring Inputs for GT3 Series
Inputs Inputs
To avoid electric shock, do not touch the input signal terminal during power voltage application.
When connecting the input signal terminals of two or more GT3A timers to the same contact or transistor, the input terminals of the same number should be connected. (Connect Terminals No.2 in common.)

Power
Input signal lines must be made as short as possible and installed away from power cables and power lines. Use shielded wires or a separate conduit for
input wiring.

For contact input, use gold-plated contacts to make sure that the residual voltage is less than 1V when the contacts are closed.

Gate Input
For transistor input, use transistors with the following specifi cations; VCE = 40V, VCES = 1V or less, IC = 50 mA or more, and ICBO = 50μA or less. The resistance
should be less than 1kΩ when the transistor is on. When the output transistor switches on, a signal is input to the timer.

Inputs: GT3A-1, -2, -3
Transistor output equipment such as proximity switches and photoelectric switches can input signals if they are voltage/current output type, with power voltage
ranges from 18 to 30V and have1V. When the signal voltage switches from H to L, a signal is input to the timer

Gate Input
The start input initiates a time-delay operation and controls
output status.
When the reset input is activated, the time is reset, and
contacts return to original state.
The time-delay operation is suspended while the gate input
is on (pause).
No-voltage contact inputs and NPN open collector transistor inputs are applicable.
