Why Choose the ABB CT-ARS.21P True OFF-Delay Timer?
The ABB CT-ARS.21P is a reliable electronic true OFF-delay timer relay designed for precise time-delayed switching in industrial automation, control panels and electrical control systems. As part of the proven ABB CT-S timer range, it provides a true OFF-delay function without requiring an auxiliary voltage, with two changeover relay outputs for flexible control applications.
The CT-ARS.21P provides 10 selectable time ranges from 0.05 s to 300 h, allowing accurate timing control across a wide range of industrial applications. The timer operates from a wide 24–240 V AC/DC control supply and provides 2 c/o (SPDT) relay contacts rated at 250 V / 4 A.
Featuring Easy Connect push-in terminals, front-face adjustment and a compact 22.5 mm DIN-rail housing, the CT-ARS.21P is designed for straightforward installation within industrial control cabinets. Its true OFF-delay operation allows the outputs to remain energised for the selected time after the control voltage is removed.

Reliable True OFF-Delay Control for Industrial Automation
True OFF-delay timer relays such as the ABB CT-ARS.21P provide controlled switching after the control voltage is removed. This makes the timer particularly useful where equipment, motors, fans, lighting circuits or other loads need to remain energised for a defined period before switching off.
The CT-ARS.21P combines true OFF-delay operation with ten selectable time ranges and a wide 24–240 V AC/DC control supply. Its two changeover relay outputs provide flexible switching within automation and control circuits, while the compact DIN-rail housing and push-in terminals support efficient panel installation.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automation and control panels.
