Multi-Function Timer Relays

A multifunction timer relay is a timer relay that offers several time functions, such as on-delay, off-delay, flasher and pulse, in a single housing, with the function selected by the user. It is used in machine and panel building where the function changes from project to project, and by businesses that want to stock a single type of relay as a maintenance spare. The category includes GEMO, Tense, Entes and Isıso models; there are digital types with 8 and 13 operating modes, socket-type relays with 8 and 11 pins, and DIN rail types as well as 48 × 48, 72 × 72 and 96 × 96 mm panel-mount housings. Product data lists time ranges such as 0.1 seconds to 100 hours and multi-voltage supplies such as 12–240 V AC/DC. Select the relay first by whether the function you need appears in its function list, then by time range, trigger input, supply voltage, number of contacts, and mounting or pin configuration. A multifunction timer relay starts timing after it is triggered; it is not a programmable time switch that turns loads on and off by the time of day.
