Especificaciones técnicas

Timing Functions

The FCT18-A/At timer relay offers two primary timing functions designed to meet diverse application requirements:

ON-Delay (A Function)

When power (Un) is applied, the timing cycle (T) begins. After the preset time has elapsed, the output relay (R) changes state. This function is ideal for applications requiring a delay before equipment activation.

ON-Delay + Instantaneous (At Function)

This enhanced function combines the standard ON-delay operation with an instantaneous output. When power (Un) is applied, one output contact (11-14/R1) changes state immediately, while the other output contact (21-24/R2) changes state after the preset time (T) has elapsed. This dual-output functionality is perfect for applications requiring both immediate and delayed responses.
