Control two steps of an electrical process from a single relay—with two fully independent channels and 30 different functions, these relays give you a wide range of possibilities. Each channel has its own output, so you can run two different functions (one per circuit) at the same time. Mount them to 35 mm DIN rails (also known as DIN 3 rail) and connect them to lighting systems, conveyors, electric motors, and other systems. These relays are UL Listed, C-UL Listed, and CE Marked, meaning they meet U.S. and international safety standards.
View times, function names, and on/off status for both channels at once using the digital display. You can program these relays with a joystick on the face, which is easier to use than the rotary dials on traditional relays. You can also program them using an Android phone with NFC (near field communication) capability, which is commonly used for mobile payment. Once you select the functions you need, hold the phone against the relay to program.
Connect switches to inputs on these relays to trigger, pause, and reset functions. Turning on a switch connected to the pause input stops functions until the switch is turned off. A switch connected to the reset input will start functions from the beginning. If the relay is actively receiving a signal, the function will restart right away. If there is no signal, the function will stop and reset, so it starts from the beginning the next time it’s triggered. You can use switches to pause or reset both channels at once, or for one channel only.
Although these relays have 30 different functions, they all fall into 10 categories. Within these categories, you can select different functions to allow you to add a switch, program a delay, or change how the relay responds to a trigger (turning on or off, pausing, or resetting).
Delayed Start (Delay on Make) Timer—These functions allow you to set how long it takes for the relay to turn on after input voltage is applied. For example, a drill starts pumping lubricant immediately, but it does not start rotating until the set time has elapsed.
Delayed Switch Off (Delay on Break) Timer—These functions use a switch instead of input voltage. When the switch is turned off, the relay remains on for a programmed amount of time before turning off. For example, a projector’s light is turned off with a switch, but its cooling fan continues to run for a set time.
Delayed Switch-On with Delayed Switch-Off Timer—This function uses a switch instead of an input voltage. It allows you to set how long it takes the relay to turn on after a switch is turned on, and how long it will stay on after the switch is turned off. For example, a furnace turns on, but the fan doesn’t start pushing air through the vents until it has been heated. When the furnace turns off, the fan keeps blowing to circulate all the hot air.
Interval Timer—These functions use input voltage to turn on the relay for a programmed amount of time. For example, when a part moving down a conveyor reaches a certain location, a cleaning spray comes on for a set amount of time.
Switch on (Single Shot) Timer—These functions require a switch to activate the relay, which stays on for the programmed amount of time. For example, lights in a storage room are turned on with a switch and stay on for a set time before turning off.
Repeat-Cycle Timer—When input voltage is applied, the relay turns on for a duration, then off for the same duration. They alternate between the two until input voltage is removed. For example, a flashing light stays on and off for equal periods of time.
Asymmetrical-Repeat-Cycle Timer—These functions start with an on-cycle and then have an off-cycle, but these cycles have different durations. The cycles repeat until input voltage is removed. For example, a sprinkler system sprays in short bursts followed by longer rest periods, on and off until input voltage is removed.
Manual-Switch-Control Timer—Use these functions to turn the relay on and off with a switch.
Fixed On/Off Timer—The on function keeps the relay on whenever input voltage is applied; it will only turn off if the voltage is removed. The off function keeps the relay in an off state, even if input voltage is applied.
Switch-On Asymmetrical Repeat Cycle Timer—These functions require a switch to activate the timing function. The input voltage is applied the whole time, and when you turn the switch on, the relay begins with an on-cycle followed by an off-cycle. These cycles have different durations, and they repeat until you turn the switch off. They could be used to turn on a motor or other system for a short period and then turn it off for a longer rest period, repeating that pattern until the switch is turned off.
Proximity Sensor Compatability (PNP and NPN)—Use relays with proximity sensor compatibility to activate functions when your sensor is triggered, such as when an object approaches or a liquid level changes. These relays are compatible with both standard styles of sensors, PNP and NPN, and are often used for warning signals, motion-detecting light and heating systems, and automated assembly lines.
