Application
The CT-S range timers are designed for use in industrial applications. They operate over a universal range of supply voltages and a large time delay range, within compact dimensions. The easy-to-set front-face potentiometers, with direct reading scales, provide accurate time delay adjustment.

Operating mode
For the CT-VBS version with a 200-240 V AC supply voltage, the time delay is selected by connecting terminal 3 to 4. When jumpered, the time delay is from 0 to 2 s. If terminals 3-4 are not jumpered, the time delay is from 0 to 400 ms. The exact time delays can be seen in the delay time diagrams.

Function diagrams
B OFF-delay without auxiliary voltage (True delay on break) The DC contactor connected to the output is energized when control supply voltage is applied to terminals A1-A2. If control supply voltage is disconnected, the DC contactor remains energized for a short time delay. This delay time depends on the coil drop out voltage and on the wattage of the contactor coil.
