Why Choose the Finder 80.01.0.240.0000T Multifunction Timer Relay?
The Finder 80.01.0.240.0000T is a multifunction, multivoltage timer relay designed for railway applications, offering flexible time-delay control for industrial automation, electrical switching and railway control systems. Part of the Finder 80 Series, this modular timer provides six selectable timing functions, a universal 12–240 V AC/DC supply and an adjustable timing range from 0.1 seconds to 24 hours.
Featuring a single changeover (SPDT / 1 CO) relay output, the Finder 80.01.0.240.0000T supports delayed switching, interval operation, cyclic timing and externally controlled timing sequences. Its configurable functions make it suitable for applications requiring precise sequencing, delayed activation, controlled shutdown or repeated switching intervals without the complexity of a programmable controller.
The T suffix identifies a special railway-oriented version of the Finder 80.01 timer. This variant is associated with railway fire behaviour and vibration requirements, including EN 45545-2 and EN 61373. With screw terminal connections, LED indication and a compact DIN rail-mounted design, it provides a practical timing solution for railway electrical equipment and demanding industrial control panels.

Multifunction Timing Control for Railway and Industrial Automation
Timing relays are essential components in electrical control systems where operations must occur after a defined delay, remain active for a specified interval or repeat according to a programmed sequence. The Finder 80.01.0.240.0000T provides six selectable timing functions, enabling engineers to configure a wide variety of switching sequences using one compact modular device.
The available functions include AI (ON delay), DI (interval), SW (symmetrical flasher, starting with ON), BE (OFF delay with control signal), CE (ON and OFF delay with control signal) and DE (interval with control signal). These functions can be selected to suit the required application, while the adjustable timing range allows operation from fractions of a second through to extended delays of up to 24 hours.
The 12–240 V AC/DC supply range allows the timer to be incorporated into electrical control systems operating at different voltages. Its single changeover output can be used to control compatible contactor coils, signalling circuits and auxiliary loads, subject to the applicable output contact ratings and load characteristics.
The railway-oriented T variant is particularly relevant where equipment specifications require consideration of fire behaviour, vibration and shock performance. Engineers should verify the applicable installation conditions and railway approval requirements against the manufacturer's documentation before selecting the device for a particular vehicle or infrastructure project.
