Function
This isolated barrier is used for intrinsic safety applications. It is a highly configurable timer that accepts a digital signal (NAMUR
sensor/mechanical contact) from a hazardous area and is commonly used in applications requiring on-delay, off-delay, one-shot, or pulse
lengthening.
The output relay switch duration is easily adjusted, and a pulse divider function allows step-down ratios from 1:1 to 9999:1.
A reset can be activated via dry contact switch and used to terminate a particular time function. The unit is easily programmed by the use of a
keypad located on the front of the unit. Line fault detection of the field circuit is indicated by a red LED.
