Dayton 5DRA3 timer relay in industrial and automation processes to control timing sequences in machinery, lighting systems and automated systems. This relay offers precision timing, enabling synchronised operations, cycle control and delayed functions. It enhances efficiency by automating processes, reducing manual intervention and optimising resource utilisation. This timer relay can be adjusted using push button and a rotary knob for easy handling and operations.
Features:
- Dayton 5DRA3 multi-function timer delay relay uses a pushbutton thumb wheel and a rotary knob to accomplish programming by selecting one of the seven built-in time ranges & one of the ten built-in functions, and digitally set the time delay required.
- It comes with an LED to indicate the time-out-condition and timing mode.
- This 24V timer relay allows plug-in mounting and has an octal base for quick installation.
- It offers a DPDT terminal connection and an analogue meter to display mode & timing delay.
- It features silver nickel contacts for hardness and corrosion resistance.
Compatible Accessories:
- Dayton Relay Sockets: 5DRA3 timer relay can be fitted with these relay sockets (1EGP2, 1EGP4 & 6X156). They provide electrical interfacing between the circuit and the relay.
