Voltage is applied to the coil at all times. When a start signal is supplied, the
contacts immediately transfer to the on state and the set time begins. If another
start signal is supplied (before set time has elapsed) the set time restarts,
as the contacts remain in the on state. Successive pulses at a frequency
greater than the set time will cause the contacts to remain in the “On state”
indeﬁnitely. When the set time has elapsed the contacts transfer back to the off
state. The contacts remain in the off state until the next start signal is supplied
(no reset is necessary). The timer can be reset by application of a reset input or

Timing Diagrams Overview
Cycle One-Shot Output (signal start)

Voltage is applied to the coil at all times. When a momentary start signal is supplied, the contacts remain in the off state and the preset time begins. Following
the preset time, the contacts transfer to the on state and remain in the on state
for the one-shot preset time. Following the one-shot preset time, the contacts
transfer back to the off state and remain there until the timer is reset. The timer
can be reset by applying either a reset input or removal of the coil voltage. Applicable model: GT3D-8.

Voltage is applied to the coil at all times. When a momentary start signal is supplied, the contacts remain in the off state and the preset time begins. Following
the preset time, the contacts transfer to the on state. The contacts remain in
the on state for the one-shot preset time. After the one-shot preset time has
elapsed, the contacts transfer back to the off state. The contacts remain in the
off state for the preset time minus the one-shot preset time. The timer cycles
between on and off states until the timer is reset by a reset input or removal of
the coil voltage. Applicable model: GT3D-8.

When voltage is applied, output comes on immediately; when voltage is
removed from the coil, the timer begins timing (internal capacitors power the
timing circuit). When time has expired, contacts transfer back to the OFF state. If
power is reapplied before the elapsed time has expired, the timing function will
reset back to the starting point. Applicable models: GT3F-1, 2.

Safety Precautions
Special expertise is required to use Electronic Timers.

Terminal Blocks

• All Electronic Timers are manufactured under IDEC’s rigorous quality control
system, but users must add a backup or fail safe provision to the control
system when using the Electronic Timer in applications where heavy damage
or personal injury may occur should the Electronic Timer fail.
• Install the Electronic Timer according to instructions described in this catalog.
• Make sure that the operating conditions are as described in the speciﬁcations. If you are uncertain about the speciﬁcations, contact IDEC in advance.
• In these directions, safety precautions are categorized in order of importance
under Warning and Caution.

Circuit Breakers

Warnings
Warning notices are used to emphasize that improper operation may cause
severe personal injury or death.
• Turn power off to the Electronic timer before starting installation, removal,
wiring, maintenance, and inspection on the Electronic Timer.
• Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shocks or ﬁre hazard.

802

• Do not use the Electronic Timer for an emergency stop circuit or interlocking circuit. If the Electronic Timer should fail, a machine malfunction,
breakdown, or accident may occur.

Caution
Caution notices are used where inattention might cause personal injury or damage to equipment.
• The Electronic Timer is designed for installation in equipment. Do not install
the Electronic Timer outside equipment.
• Install the Electronic Timer in environments described in the speciﬁcations. If
the Electronic Timer is used in places where it will be subjected to high-temperature, high-humidity, condensation, corrosive gases, excessive vibrations,
or excessive shocks, then electrical shocks, ﬁre hazard, or malfunction could
result.
• Use an IEC60127-approved fuse and circuit breaker on the power and output
line outside the Electronic Timer.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the Electronic Timer.
• When disposing of the Electronic Timer, do so as industrial waste.

General Instructions for All Timer Series
Load Current

Vibration and Shock

With inductive, capacitive, and incandescent lamp loads, inrush current more
than 10 times the rated current may cause welded contacts and other undesired
effects. The inrush current and steady-state current must be taken into consideration when specifying a timer.

Excessive vibration or shocks can cause the output contacts to bounce, the
timer should be used only within the operating extremes for vibration and shock
resistance. In applications with signiﬁcant vibration or shock, use of hold down
springs or clips is recommended to secure a timer to its socket.

Contact Protection

Time Setting

Switching an inductive load generates a counter-electromotive force (back EMF)
in the coil. The back EMF will cause arcing, which may shorten the contact life
and cause imperfect contact. Application of a protection circuit is recommended
to safeguard the contacts.

The time range is calibrated at its maximum time scale; so it is desirable to use
the timer at a setting as close to its maximum time scale as possible. For a more
accurate time delay, adjust the control knob by measuring the operating time
with a watch before application.

Temperature and Humidity

Input Contacts

Use the timer within the operating temperature and operating humidity ranges
and prevent freezing or condensation. After the timer has been stored below
its operating temperature, leave the timer at room temperature for a sufﬁcient
period of time to allow it to return to operating temperatures before use.

Use mechanical contact switch or relay to supply power to the timer. When
driving the timer with a solid-state output device (such as a two-wire proximity
switch, photoelectric switch, or solid-state relay), malfunction may be caused by
leakage current from the solid-state device. Since AC types comprise a capacitive load, the SSR dielectric strength should be two or more times the power
voltage when switching the timer power using an SSR.

Environment
Avoid contact between the timer and sulfurous or ammonia gases, organic solvents (alcohol, benzine, thinner, etc.), strong alkaline substances, or strong acids.
Do not use the timer in an environment where such substances are prevalent. Do
not allow water to run or splash on the timer.

Generally, it is desirable to use mechanical contacts whenever possible to apply
power to a timer or its signal inputs. When using solid state devices, be cautious
of inrushes and back-EMF that may exceed the ratings on such devices. Some
timers are specially designed so that signal inputs switch at a lower voltage
than is used to power the timer (models designated as “B” type).

Timing Accuracy Formulas

Timers

Timing accuracies are calculated from the following formulas:
Repeat Error

= ± 1 x Maximum Measured Value – Minimum Measured Value x 100%
2 Maximum Scale Value

Voltage Error

= ± Tv - Tr x 100%
Tr

Tv: Average of measured values at voltage V
Tr: Average of measured values at the rated voltage
= ± Tt - T20 x 100%
T20

Tt: Average of measured values at °C
T20: Average of measured values at 20°C
Setting Error

= ± Average of Measured Values - Set Value x 100%
