Operating Logic: Upon application of volt
age to the input terminals, the load is ener
gized for the duration of the preset time
delay. At the end of this time delay, the load
is de-energized for the duration of the pre
set time delay. The load is then energized
again and the timer continues to repeat this
on-off cycle until input voltage is removed.
Both on and off times are the same and are
determined by Rt.
Note: 1) Rt and terminals 4 and 5 are used for external time
adjustment; 2) Remote potentiometer leads should be shielded
when running close to other wires; 3) The minimum time setting
on external resistor-adjustable time delay relays is obtained by
shorting together the external resistor terminals of the relay; 4)
The maximum time setting within tolerance limits is obtained by
using a 1 megohm resistor; 5) Timing values between the minimum and maximum limits are linear with resistance within 10%;
6) Recommend 1/4 W minimum resistor be used.

External Resistance/Time Delay Relationship
1 megohm external resistance is required to obtain
the maximum time for all ranges. To determine the
actual resistance needed to obtain the required time
delay, use the following formula:
Trequired - Tminimum
Rt=
Tmaximum - Tminimum
Note: Due to component tolerances, the actual time
obtained will normally be within 5% of desired time.
Consult factory for any special requirements not
listed in catalog (minimum order requirement may
apply).
