Safety Precautions
Special expertise is required to use Electronic Timers.
• All Electronic Timers are manufactured under IDEC's rigorous qual-
ity control system, but users must add a backup or f ail safe provision
to the control system when using the Electronic Timer in applica-
tions where heavy damage or personal injury may occur should the
Electronic T imer fail.
• Install the Electronic Timer according to instructions described in
this catalog.
• Make sure that the operating conditions are as described in the spec-
ifications. If you are uncertain about the specifications, contact
IDEC in advance.
• In these directions, safety precautions are categorized in order of
importance under Warning and Caution.
W
arnings
W
arning notices are used to emphasize that improper operation may
c
ause severe personal injury or death.
• Turn power off to the Electronic timer before starting installation,
removal, wiring, maintenance, and inspection on the Electronic
Timer.
• Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shocks or fire hazard.
• Do not use the Electronic Timer for an emergency stop circuit or
interlocking circuit. If the Electronic Timer should fail, a machine
malfunction, breakdown, or accident may occur.
Caution
Caution notices are used where inattention might cause personal
injury or damage to equipment.
• The Electronic Timer is designed for installation in equipment. Do
not install the Electronic Timer outside equipment.
• Install the Electronic Timer in environments described in the specifi-
cations. If the Electronic Timer is used in places where it will be
subjected to high-temperature, high-humidity, condensation, corro-
sive gases, excessive vibrations, or excessive shocks, then electrical
shocks, fire hazard, or malfunction could result.
• Use an IEC60127-approved fuse and circuit breaker on the power
and output line outside the Electronic Timer.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the Electronic Timer.
• When disposing of the Electronic Timer, do so as industrial waste.

W
ith inductive, capacitive, and incandescent lamp loads, inrush current more
t
han 10 times the rated current may cause welded contacts and other undes-
i
red effects. The inrush current and steady-state current must be taken into
c
onsideration when specifying a timer.
C
ontact Protection
S
witching an inductive load generates a counter-electromotive force (back
E
MF) in the coil. The back EMF will cause arcing, which may shorten the con-
t
act life and cause imperfect contact. Application of a protection circuit is
r
ecommended to safeguard the contacts.
T

U
se the timer within the operating temperature and operating humidity
r
anges and prevent freezing or condensation. After the timer has been stored
b
elow its operating temperature, leave the timer at room temperature for a
s
ufficient period of time to allow it to return to operating temperatures before
u
se.
E
nvironment
A
void contact between the timer and sulfurous or ammonia gases, organic
s
olvents (alcohol, benzine, thinner, etc.), strong alkaline substances, or strong
a
cids. Do not use the timer in an environment where such substances are
p
revalent. Do not allow water to run or splash on the timer.
V
ibration and Shock
E
xcessive vibration or shocks can cause the output contacts to bounce, the timer
s
hould be used only within the operating extremes for vibration and shock resis-
t
ance. In applications with significant vibration or shock, use of hold down
s
prings or clips is recommended to secure a timer to its socket.
Time Setting
The time range is calibrated at its maximum time scale; so it is desirable to
use the timer at a setting as close to its maximum time scale as possible. For
a more accurate time delay, adjust the control knob by measuring the operat-
ing time with a watch before application.
Input Contacts
Use mechanical contact switch or relay to supply power to the timer. When
driving the timer with a solid-state output device (such as a two-wire proxim-
ity switch, photoelectric switch, or solid-state relay), malfunction may be
caused by leakage current from the solid-state device. Since AC types com-
prise a capacitive load, the SSR dielectric strength should be two or more
times the power voltage when switching the timer power using an SSR.
Generally, it is desirable to use mechanical contacts whenever possible to
apply power to a timer or its signal inputs. When using solid state devices, be
cautious of inrushes and back-EMF that may exceed the ratings on such
devices. Some timers are specially designed so that signal inputs switch at a
lower voltage than is used to power the timer (models designated as “B"
type).
