Why Choose the ABB CT-ERS.12S ON-Delay Timer?
The ABB CT-ERS.12S is a single-function electronic time relay from the ABB CT-S timer range, designed to provide dependable ON-delay timing for industrial automation and electrical control systems. It provides a straightforward delay-on-make function for applications where a controlled time delay is required before switching an output.
The CT-ERS.12S provides 10 selectable time ranges from 0.05 s to 300 h and operates from a rated control supply of 24–48 V DC or 24–240 V AC. Precise front-face adjustment makes it straightforward to configure the required delay for machinery, control panels and automated processes.
The timer features a 1 c/o (SPDT) relay contact rated at 250 V / 4 A. Its compact 22.5 mm wide housing uses screw connection technology with double-chamber cage terminals and is suitable for DIN rail installation in industrial control cabinets.

Reliable ON-Delay Timing for Industrial Automation
The ABB CT-ERS.12S provides a dedicated ON-delay function for applications where an output needs to operate after a defined period following energisation. This makes it suitable for control circuits requiring predictable delay-on-make operation without the additional complexity of a multifunction timer.
With ten selectable time ranges covering 0.05 s to 300 h, the CT-ERS.12S can accommodate both short machine-control delays and extended process timing requirements. The single changeover relay contact provides flexible interfacing with contactors, signalling circuits, machinery and other industrial control equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automation and control panels.
- Motor and contactor control circuits.
- Machine sequencing and timed control.
- Conveyor and production machinery control.
- Delayed switching applications.
- Process automation and equipment sequencing.
- Industrial signalling and alarm circuits.
- Control systems requiring extended time delays.
- Applications requiring AC or DC control supply operation.
