Precautions during usage
Acquisition of CE marking
1. Avoid locations subject to
flammable or corrosive gases,
excessive dust, oil, vibrations, or
excessive shocks.
2. Since the main-unit is made of
polycarbonate resin, avoid contact
with or use in environments
containing methyl alcohol, benzene,
thinners, and other organic solvents;
and ammonia, caustic sodas, and
other alkaline substances.
3. Power supply superimposed surge
protector
Although a surge protector will withstand
standard-waveform voltage with the
values in the next table, anything above
this will destroy the internal circuit. You
should therefore use a surge absorber.
• Surge waveform
[±(1.2×50) µs uni-polar full wave voltage]
4. In order to maintain the
characteristics, do not remove the
timer case.
5. When installing the panel, use the
ATA4811 mounting frame (Sold
separately).
6. If you change the operating voltage,
be sure not to allow leak current into
the timer.
7. Avoid leaving the unit powered
continuously. Leaving the unit
powered up with output set to ON
continuously for a long period of time
(about 1 month or more) will wear out
the electronic components. If you will
be keeping it powered continuously,
combine with a relay to create the
circuit shown below:
8. The timer setting dial should only be
turned within the range indicated on
the dial face. Turning it too far may
break the stopper and cause damage
to internal components.

Please abide by the conditions below
when using in applications that
comply with EN61812-1.
1. Overvoltage category III,
pollution level 2
2. The load connected to the output
contact should have basic insulation.
This timer is protected with basic
insulation and can be double-
insulated to meet EN/IEC
requirements by using basic
insulation on the load.
3. Please use a power supply that is
protected by an overcurrent protection
device which complies with the EN/
IEC standard (example: 250 V 1 A fuse,
etc.).
4. You must use a terminal socket or
socket for the installation. Do not
touch the terminals or other parts of
the timer when it is powered. When
installing or un-installing, make sure
that no voltage is being applied to any
of the terminals.
5. Do not use this timer as a safety
circuit. For example when using a
timer in a heater circuit, etc., provide a
protection circuit on the machine side.

Operation mode
PM4H-A
Note: Keep 0.1s or more for power off time.
Keep 0.05s or more for start, stop, reset input time.
Operation type Explanation Time chart
• If using a time-limit start when the power is turned on, and a reset when
the power is turned off, pins 2to 6(screw-tightening pins xand c)
should be shorted ahead of time.
• Turn the operation mode selector switch to the position.
If pins 2to 6(screw-tightening pins xand c) are shorted (the start input
is turned on) with the power supply on, the output will go on after the set
time has elapsed.
If the power supply is turned off, or pins 2to 7(screw-tightening pins xto
v) are shorted (the reset input is turned on), a reset is carried out.
Note) During time-limited operation, the time-limited operation is stopped
while the pins 2to 5(screw-tightening pins xto b) are being shorted
(the stop input is on). When the pins are released, time-limited operation
resumes.
• Turn the operation mode selector switch to the position.
When pins 2to 6(screw-tightening pins xand c) are shorted (the start
input is turned on) with the power supply on, the output goes on, and when
pins 2to 6(screw-tightening pins xand c) are released (the start input
is turned off), the time limit interval begins. After the set time has elapsed,
the output goes off. If start input is entered at any point during the time limit
interval, the time limit interval is reset.
Note) During time-limited operation, the time-limited operation is stopped
while the pins 2to 5(screw-tightening pins xto b) are being shorted
(the stop input is on). When the pins are released, time-limited operation
resumes.
• Turn the operation mode selector switch to the position.
When pins 2to 6(screw-tightening pins xand c) are shorted (the start
input is turned on) with the power supply on, the output goes on, and after
the set time has elapsed, it goes off.
Also, when pins 2to 6are released (the start input goes off), the output
goes on, and after the set time has elapsed, it goes off.
If the status of pins 2to 6(screw-tightening pins xand c) changes dur-
ing the time-limit interval (the start input goes from on to off, or from off to
on), the time-limit interval is restarted from the point at which the change
took place.
If the power supply is turned off, or pins 2to 7(screw-tightening pins xto
v) are shorted (the reset input is turned on), a reset is carried out.
Note) During time-limited operation, the time-limited operation is stopped while
the pins 2to 5(screw-tightening pins xto b) are being shorted (the stop
input is on). When the pins are released, time-limited operation resumes.
• If using a time-limit start when the power is turned on, and a reset when
the power is turned off, pins 2to 6(screw-tightening pins xand c)
should be shorted ahead of time.
• Turn the operation mode selector switch to the position.
When pins 2to 6(screw-tightening pins xand c) are shorted (the start
input is turned on) with the power supply on, the output goes on, and after
the set time has elapsed, it goes off. This process is subsequently repeated.
If the power supply is turned off, or pins 2to 7(screw-tightening pins xto
v) are shorted (the reset input is turned on), a reset is carried out.
Note) During time-limited operation, the time-limited operation is stopped
while the pins 2to 5(screw-tightening pins xto b) are being shorted
(the stop input is on). When the pins are released, time-limited operation
resumes.
• If using a time-limit start when the power is turned on, and a reset when
the power is turned off, pins 2to 6(screw-tightening pins xand c)
should be shorted ahead of time.
• Turn the operation mode selector switch to the position.
When pins 2to 6(screw-tightening pins xand c) are shorted (the start
input is turned on) with the power supply on, the limited time interval begins,
and the output goes on after the set time has elapsed. After the output has
gone on, it goes off when the set time has elapsed, and this process is sub-
sequently repeated.
If the power supply is turned off, or pins 2to 7(screw-tightening pins xto
v) are shorted (the reset input is turned on), a reset is carried out.
Note) During time-limited operation, the time-limited operation is stopped
while the pins 2to 5(screw-tightening pins xto b) are being shorted
(the stop input is on). When the pins are released, time-limited operation
resumes.

lead to erroneous operation of the
timer, so use a contact with short
bounce time. Make the resistance
between terminals for a short circuit
less than 1k-ohms. Make the resis-
tance between terminals for an open
circuit greater than 100k-ohms.
Be sure to use a photo-

1. Operation method
1) Operation mode setting
[PM4H-A type]
8 operation modes are selectable with
operation mode selector.
Turn the operation mode selector with
screw driver.
Operation mode is shown up through the
window above the mode selector. The
marks are , , , , , , , .
Turn the mode selector to the mark until
you can check by clicking sound.
Confirm the mode selector position if it is
correct.
If the position is not stable, the timer
might mis-operate.
2) Time range setting
[PM4H series common]
16 time ranges are selectable between
1s to 500h.
Turn the time range selector with the
screw driver.
Clockwise turning increases the time
range, and Counter-clockwise turning
decrease the time range.
Confirm the range selector position if it is
correct.
If the position is not stable, the timer
might mis-operate.
3) Time setting [common]
To set the time, turn the set dial to a
desired time within the range.
Instantaneous output will be on when the
dial is set to “0”.
When the instantaneous output is used,
the dial should be set under “0” range.
(Instantaneous output area)
When power supply is on, the time
range, setting time and operation mode
cannot be changed.
Turn off the power supply or a reset sig-
nal is applied to set the new operation
mode.
If the position is not stable, the timer
might mis-operate.

1. Input connections (PM4H-A type)
1) Be sure not to use terminal as the
common terminal of the input signal as
shown in Fig. A. Otherwise, the internal
circuit of the timer may be damaged.
Use terminal as the common terminal
as shown in Fig. B.
If the circuits is connected as in Fig. C,
the internal circuits must be broken. Be
sure to connect the circuit as in Fig. D.
2) When one input signal is simultane-
ously applied to more than one timer, be
sure to avoid the wiring shown in Fig. E.
Otherwise, the short-circuit current will
flow and cause damage. Be sure to align
the polarity of the power supply as
shown in Fig. F.
3) Terminal -(screw terminal x-c)
should be connected as the start input.
Connect terminals -(screw terminal
x-v) for reset signal input. Connect ter-
minals -(screw terminal x-b) for
stop signal input. Be sure not to connect
with other terminals and apply excessive
voltage. The internal circuit will be dam-
aged.
4) The input wiring other than the power
supply circuit should avoid these condi-
tions, high-voltage wiring and parallel
wiring with power wire. Wire in short with
using the shielding wire or metal wiring
tube.
5) For start, reset and stop input, use
gold-plated contact with high reliability.
Since contact bouncing causes errors in
the start, use an input contact less
bounce time.
6) Keep the minimum signal input time
over 0.05 s.
2. Input signal conditions
(PM4H-A type)
1) Connection of contact input (Pin type
example
Use gold-plated contacts with high-relia-
bility. The bounce time at the contacts
causes errors in the timer operation time.
Accordingly, use start input contact
whose bounce time is short. The resis-
tance when shorted should be less than
1k, and when open resistance should
be more than 100k.
For the screw terminal type, connect the
terminal xto the each input signal.
2) Connection of non-contact input (Pin
type example)
(open-collector)
Apply the open-collector connection. The
characteristics of the transistor used
must be VCEO=10V or more, IC=10mA or
more, and ICBO=6µA or less. Additionally,
the input impedance must be 1kor
less, and the residual voltage must be
0.6V or less.
For the screw terminal type, connect the
terminal xto the each input signal.
3) Connection of non-contact input (Pin
type example)
(voltage input)
Even if the open collector is not used,
input is also possible from the non-con-
tact circuit of 6 to 30V DC. In this case,
the start input is turned on when the sig-
nal is turned from H to L.
The residual voltage must be 0.6V or
less when Q is on. On the AC type, an
insulated transformer is required as the
power supply for the photoelectric sen-
sor, etc. (power supply for the input
devices).
Note: Keep the minimum input signal time of
each signal to 0.05s or more.
3. Checking the contacts before use
(PM4H-F only)
When the power ON time is less than the
minimum power application time, the
contacts may remain in an ON state, so
the state of the contacts should be
checked before use. When the contacts
are in an ON state, activating them once
will return them to their normal state (the
OFF state after time-out). (Be aware that
relay characteristics may result in the
contacts being in that same ON state if
exposed to excessive vibration and
impact during transport.)
4. Time setting
To set the time, turn the set dial to a
desired time within the range.
Instantaneous output will be on when the
dial is set to “0”.
When the instantaneous output is used,
the dial should be set under “0” range.
(Instantaneous output area)
Note) When power supply is on, the time
range, setting time and operation mode
cannot be changed.
Turn off the power supply or a reset sig-
nal is applied to set the new operation
mode.
If the position is not stable, the timer
might mis-operate.

PRECAUTIONS IN USING THE PM4H SERIES
5. Superimposed surge of power
supply (PM4H series common)
For the superimposed surge of power
supply, the standard waveform is taken
as the standard value for surge-proof
voltage.
If external surge occurs exceeding the
specified value, the internal circuit may
break down. In this case, use a surge
absorption element.
The positive and negative voltages are
applied each five times between the
power pins.
The typical surge absorption elements
include a varistor, a capacitor, and a
diode. If a surge absorption element is
used, use an oscilloscope to see
whether or not the foreign surge exceed-
ing the specified value appears.
6. Acquisition of CE marking
Please abide by the conditions below
when using in applications that comply
with EN61812-1.
1) Overvoltage category III, pollution
level 2
2) This timer employs a power supply
without a transformer, so the power and
input signal terminals are not insulated.
(PM4H-A only)
(1) When a sensor is connected to the
input circuit, install double insulation on
the sensor side.
(2) In the case of contact input, use dual-
insulated relays, etc.
3) The load connected to the output con-
tact should have basic insulation.
This timer is protected with basic insula-
tion and can be double-insulated to meet
EN/IEC requirements by using basic
insulation on the load.
4) Please use a power supply that is pro-
tected by an overcurrent protection
device which complies with the EN/IEC
standard (example: 250 V 1 A fuse, etc.).
5) You must use a terminal socket or
socket for the installation. Do not touch
the terminals or other parts of the timer
when it is powered. When installing or
un-installing, make sure that no voltage
is being applied to any of the terminals.
6) Do not use this timer as a safety cir-
cuit. For example when using a timer in a
heater circuit, etc., provide a protection
circuit on the machine side.
