Eight Timing Functions for Flexible Industrial Automation
The Finder 93.69.0.024 MasterTIMER provides eight electronic timing functions within a compact relay socket. Instead of requiring a separate timer relay and mounting base, the timing circuitry is incorporated directly into the socket, allowing a compatible Finder 34 Series relay to perform the required switching operation.
The available functions include AI on-delay, which delays relay activation following application of the operating supply, and DI interval timing, which provides a timed output interval. The GI delayed pulse and SW symmetrical recycling functions offer further flexibility for applications involving pulse generation and repeated switching sequences.
The additional BE, CE, DE and EE functions provide control-signal-dependent timing options. These can be useful where the timing sequence must respond to an external control signal rather than simply the application of the supply voltage. The precise operation of each mode should be selected according to Finder's timing diagrams and the requirements of the control circuit.
Timing configuration is performed using a top-mounted rotary adjustment and DIP switches for selecting the required function and timing scale. With four selectable scales and an overall adjustment range of approximately 0.1 seconds to 6 hours, the socket can support both rapid industrial control sequences and longer operational delays.
Compact MasterTIMER Relay Interfacing
The Finder 93.69.0.024 is part of the Finder MasterINTERFACE system and corresponds to the MasterTIMER 39.90 and 39.91 interface configurations. Its modular design allows the timing socket and switching relay to be selected as compatible components of a complete control interface.
The socket supports selected Finder 34.51 electromechanical relays and Finder 34.81 solid-state relays. The electrical output behaviour depends on the installed relay: electromechanical versions use physical switching contacts, while solid-state versions provide electronic switching. The socket itself supplies the timing functionality but does not contain the replaceable relay's output switching element.
Its Push-In spring terminals simplify conductor installation, while the narrow 6.2 mm housing makes it possible to position multiple timer interfaces closely together on a standard DIN rail. This is especially beneficial in control cabinets containing numerous timed outputs or PLC interface channels.
The integrated coil indication and protection circuit, optional output fuse module arrangement and compatibility with 16-way jumper links further support organised control panel design. The relay retaining and ejection clip enables convenient replacement of the relay without removing the permanent socket wiring.
When specifying the complete assembly, engineers should confirm the operating supply, relay coil or input voltage, output switching requirements, timing function and load characteristics. The switching capacity of the assembly must remain within the ratings of both the socket and the installed relay.
