Time relays

Time relay

You may have heard the term time relay, and most likely you are familiar with the more common appliance that is used for household purposes.
But the time relay from the point of view of electrical equipment and electrical installations has a completely different meaning and purpose.
If you want to familiarize yourself with this type of time relay, we at the Enext online store will try to provide you with this information that will help you choose this device for your home.

Time relay what it is and what it is used for
Let's start from the beginning by explaining to you what this device called a time relay is. It is a type of relay whose main function is to open or close the electrical circuit of your electricity. installation, and this happens at a certain time interval preset in the device itself.
But first we will remind you how the time relays themselves work and what their function is. According to their variety and method of opening/closing the network, relays are electromechanical and electronic.
Time relays are most often used to change small voltages in the control circuit and do not usually control consumers, except for small motors and solenoids, with a small current rating.
What the timing relay contributes to this whole process is the ability to control the relays by means of a selected timing diagram.

What types of time relays you will find with us

There are several basic types of time relay that are similar in application but differ in operation.

The analog time relay is one of the most standard models of relays, and its principle of operation is extremely simple - by adjusting the scale of the time relay, it controls your electricity. installation.

The digital time relay, on the other hand, works in a much more advanced and precise method, using a processor to perform highly accurate time setting. Separately, the user can monitor the elapsed time on the digital display that this type of time relay has.
The time relays that you can find in the ENEXT online store are the most diverse and useful, and we will reveal a small part of them to you.

The e.control.t10 time relay, for example, is one of the top products you will find in this category. The e.control.t10 time relay has a modular design with a housing width of 36 mm (2 modules). The body of the relay is made of ABS plastic, which does not support combustion. On the front panel of the time relay, under a transparent cover that can be sealed, are located: buttons for setting the current time and programming the time relay; It has a liquid crystal display with backlight.
The installed lithium battery ensures the saving of the timer program for 10 years. The time relay microprocessor provides execution of a control program with the number of programs up to 80 on two independent channels. In this mode, the time relay will turn on and off according to the set time. If necessary, the time relay can be switched to "Outgoing" mode, in which the set program will not be executed. In this case, the program will be saved and the switching contacts of the time relay will be constantly in the initial state: 15-16, 25-26 - closed; 15-18, 25-28 — open. The time relay also has a manual mode of operation, in which the initial state of the contacts is set manually. There is also a random operation mode where the time relay will trigger randomly in the range of 1 to 30 minutes.
In case you want a classic analog time relay, we have that for you as well. Electromechanical time relay. 18mm e.control.t03 is an analog relay. The time relay contains a pulse generator to control a miniature stepper motor that rotates. The switching on/off of the time relay is done by transmitting influence from the sectors of the daily setting of programs to the output contact of the relay. When the timer is connected for the first time, the battery is fully charged in 24 hours. Its active load switching capability is 16A and its setting range is one day.

Time relay multifunction e.control.t06 is another great product that you can get in our online store. Designed to provide on/off time delay in the automation and control circuits of various technological processes, relative supply voltage or control contact. Setting the countdown time and selecting the relay function is done before the supply voltage is applied. If the settings are changed after the voltage has been applied, they will only take effect after switching off and on again
supply voltage. The minimum time before re-energizing after a shutdown must be at least 200 ms. When the supply voltage is applied to terminals A1 and A2, the yellow LED indicator P lights up. During the countdown, the red LED indicator R/T flashes and lights up when the output contact of the relay (15-18) is closed. When the supply voltage is removed, the output contacts of the relay 15-18 open. Front panel potentiometers set time exposure — time exposure level selectable: 1 s, 10 s, 1 min, 10 min, 1 hr, 10 hr, 30 hr, 1 day, 10 days and more fine tuning from 10 to 100% of the selected level.

 

How the time relay can be useful to you

Now that you've gotten so much information about time relays, the different types, and their main functions, it's time to tell you what a time relay can do for you. This unit is a practical choice when you are looking for a device to switch consumers and electrical circuits when you are not at home.

The use of a time relay is especially suitable when you often have to be away from home, and at the same time you need to control the electrical appliances in your home.

 

How to choose a time relay for your home

When choosing a time relay for your home, you need to keep several things in mind and know what criteria to evaluate the given product. First of all, you need to decide if you want a digital time relay or if you prefer an analog one.
Another important criterion is the setting time range that each time relay has. According to this criterion, time relays are divided into 24-hour (round-the-clock), weekly, cyclic, time relays, relays with a delay in switching on and those with a delay in switching off. Consider carefully what your needs are to know what time relay you will need. As another important aspect when choosing a time relay, we can indicate the manufacturer. Go for well-known names in the industry who have years of experience in manufacturing time relays, voltage relays and all kinds of measuring devices.
