Eight Selectable Timing Functions
The Finder 83.02.0.240.0000T provides eight timing modes for a wide variety of industrial switching applications:
- AI – On-delay: Energises the timed output after the selected delay following application of the supply voltage.
- DI – Interval: Energises the output immediately when supply voltage is applied and releases it after the selected interval.
- GI – Pulse delayed: Provides a delayed pulse output following the selected timing sequence.
- SW – Symmetrical flasher: Alternates the output between ON and OFF states, beginning with the ON interval.
- BE – Off-delay with control signal: Delays output release following removal of the external control signal.
- CE – On- and off-delay with control signal: Provides controlled switching delays when the external control signal is applied and removed.
- DE – Interval with control signal: Initiates a timed output interval through the external control input.
- WD – Watchdog: Provides a retriggerable interval function using the external control signal.
The required timing function and contact arrangement should be selected before energising the timer, following Finder's installation instructions.
Flexible Timing Control for Industrial Automation
Multifunction timer relays are widely used in electrical control systems where switching operations must occur after a defined delay or follow a repeatable sequence. They provide a practical alternative to more complex control equipment for straightforward timing tasks.
The Finder 83.02.0.240.0000T offers a wide 24–240 V AC/DC supply range, allowing the same timer family to be integrated into different industrial control voltage systems. Its two 12 A changeover contacts provide flexible switching options for suitable control and auxiliary loads.
The timer's eight selectable functions allow it to perform delayed starting, timed operation, flashing, pulse generation and watchdog monitoring. Front-panel selectors enable technicians to configure the required operating mode and time setting without complex programming.
A particularly useful feature is the ability to select between two timed contacts and one timed plus one instantaneous contact. This allows one output to respond immediately while the other follows the selected timing sequence, where supported by the chosen function.
Its 22.5 mm wide DIN rail housing, screw terminal connections and LED indication make the Finder 83.02.0.240.0000T suitable for compact industrial electrical cabinets and automation panels.
