Was ist ein Zeitrelais?
A timer relay changes one or more output contacts according to a defined time function after a control or supply signal is applied or removed.
Selection requires the timing function, adjustable range, supply voltage, trigger method, contact arrangement and load duty, reset behavior, accuracy, repeatability, mounting and environmental conditions.

How to choose a timer relay
Define the timing diagram first, then match range, supply, trigger and output contacts.
Timing function and range
Select on-delay, off-delay, interval, cyclic or another published function and suitable adjustment range.
Supply and trigger
Match AC or DC control voltage, frequency and separate trigger requirements.
Output contacts and load
Confirm contact arrangement, switching duty and any interposing device required for the load.
Reset, accuracy and mounting
Check reset time, repeatability, indicators, DIN-rail or panel format and environment.
Draw the timing diagram before selecting the relay
Input state, delay, output state and reset behavior must match the machine sequence.

Which timer function should be selected?
Use the required input, delay, output and reset sequence; compare the exact timing diagram for the model.
How is the time range chosen?
Choose a range that contains the required delay with useful adjustment resolution and verified accuracy.
Why does supply voltage matter?
The timer electronics and relay coil must match the actual control supply and frequency.
Can timer contacts switch a motor directly?
Only when the exact contact rating and utilization duty permit it; many loads require an interposing contactor or relay.
What is the difference between multifunction and single-function timers?
A multifunction timer offers selectable timing modes, while a single-function model is dedicated to one sequence; compare complexity, setting security and application needs.
