The Models 358 and 388 Recycle Timers(“On” Time
First) are designed to cycle a load on and off, or to cycle
between two loads. The ON and OFF cycles are
independently adjustable on each model. The Model 358
is a DPDT potentiometer (knob-adjust) timer. The Model
388 is a DPDT, high-accuracy digital input timer. Solid-
state circuits in each model drive an internal
electromechanical relay.
Each model is functionally interchangeable. They are
available in a wide variety of voltage and timing ranges, to
cover the majority of application requirements.
An “SG” version of this model is available using silver with
gold flash contacts.
Models 358 and 388 are UL Recognized and CSA
Certified.

GENERAL SAFETY
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT AT THE TERMINALS OF THE MODEL 358 OR 388.
ALL ELECTRICAL POWER SHOULD BE REMOVED WHEN CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING WIRING.
THIS DEVICE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Installation Instructions
OPERATION
When power is applied to the coil, the relay will energize
immediately and stay on for the time set for the “ON” time.
When the “ON” time elapses, the relay will de-energize and
will time for the “OFF” time. At the end of the “OFF” time, the
relay will energize again and run for the “ON” time setting.
This will continue as long as power is applied to the coil. If
power is removed, the relay will de-energize immediately, or
remain de-energized depending on what part of the cycle is
active when power is removed. Re-applying power will
energize the relay immediately and stay energized for the
“ON” time. Timing will continue as above with the “OFF” time.
“ON” time switch controls the Normally Open contacts timing.
“OFF” time switch will control the Normally Closed contacts
timing.
PIN CONNECTIONS
The Models 358 and 388 Recycle Timers require a
standard 8-pin socket for mounting, and use a standard
pin configuration. Refer to the pin diagram below, or on
the timer, for pin connections.
An LED on top of the unit provides a quick visual indicator of
the relay’s status.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE - Model 388
The procedure to determine the switch selections for the
digital Model 388 Recycle Timer requires some simple
calculations, which can be completed easily after the basic
steps are explained.
1. Convert the time required to minutes, seconds, or
tenths of seconds, depending upon the timing range
2. 2. To set a desired delay period on the timer, just
add the values of the selected dip switches (beginning
with the largest value first) to total the desired time.
e.g. #1: 100 seconds OFF; 900 seconds ON
e.g. #2: 5 minutes OFF; 55 minutes ON
32+16+4+2+1 = 55 minute ON delay4+1 = 5 minute OFF delay
