TAC1 SeriesTimer - Delay-on-Make
Connection:
Load may be connected to terminals 3 or 1.
RT is used when external adjustment is ordered.
L1 N/L2
The TAC1 Series was designed to delay the
operation of a compressor relay. It eliminates the
possibility of relay chatter due to half-wave failure
of the output. It connects in series with the load
relay coil and provides a delay-on-make time delay
each time input voltage is applied. It can be used
for random start, anti-short cycling, sequencing,
and many other applications. It is an excellent
choice for all air conditioning and refrigeration
equipment.
Operation (Delay-on-Make):
Upon application of input voltage, the time delay begins.
The output is de-energized before and during the time
delay. At the end of the time delay, the output energizes
and remains energized until input voltage is removed.
Reset: Removing input voltage resets the time delay
and output.

and diagrams.
