Reliable Bi-Function Timing Control for Industrial and Railway Systems
Electronic timer modules such as the Finder 86.30.0.024.0000T provide precise control over relay switching sequences by introducing a configurable time interval between an electrical event and the operation of an associated relay. When installed with a compatible Finder relay and socket, the module adds electronic timing functionality to a conventional electromechanical relay arrangement.
The Finder 86.30T provides two selectable timing functions. In AI on-delay mode, the timing interval begins when the supply voltage is applied, and the associated relay operates after the selected delay has elapsed. In DI interval mode, the associated relay operates when the supply is applied and returns to its normal state after the selected interval.
The module provides seven timing ranges covering 0.05 s to 100 h, allowing engineers to configure short control pulses, delayed equipment activation and extended timed operating sequences. Its ±1% repeatability and ±5% full-scale setting accuracy support consistent operation in industrial control applications.
Unlike a complete timer relay with integrated switching contacts, the Finder 86.30.0.024.0000T is a plug-in timing module that operates together with a compatible relay and socket assembly. The electrical switching capacity, contact arrangement and load suitability are determined by the associated relay. This modular approach allows engineers to select an appropriate relay configuration while adding the required timing functionality.
The 86.30.0.024.0000T railway variant is designed for applications requiring compliance with relevant railway standards. Its construction addresses EN 45545-2 fire protection requirements, EN 61373 shock and vibration conditions and EN 50155 environmental requirements, making it suitable for consideration in railway rolling stock and associated electrical equipment.
With a 12–24 V AC/DC nominal supply, low power consumption and compact plug-in construction, the Finder 86.30.0.024.0000T offers a practical timing solution for railway equipment manufacturers, industrial automation engineers and electrical panel builders requiring dependable delayed switching.
