Timing Function Diagrams Overview
ON-Delay 1 (power start)
When voltage is applied to the coil, the relay contacts remain in the off state
and the set time begins. When the set time has elapsed, the relay contacts
transfer to the on state. The contacts remain in the on state until the timer is
reset. The timer is reset by removing the coil voltage. Applicable models: RTE-

Cycle 1 (power start, OFF fi rst)
When voltage is applied to the coil, the contacts remain in the off state and the
set time begins. At the end of the set time, the contacts transfer to the on state
and remain in the on state until the set time elapses. The timer cycles between
the two states until power is removed from the coil. Removing the coil voltage
resets the timer. The set time for both the on state and the off state is the
same. Applicable models: GT3A-1, -2, -3, GT3D-1, -2, -3, -4 and RTE-P(B)1.

One Shot 1 (signal start, retriggerable)
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”
indefi nitely. 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
by removing coil voltage. Applicable models: GT3A-6 and GT3D-4.

supplied, the contacts immediately transfer to the on state and the set time be-
gins. When the set time has elapsed, the contacts transfer to the off state. The
contacts remain in the off state until the start signal is removed. The contacts
transfer back to the on state and remain in the on state for the set time. When
the set time has elapsed, the contacts transfer to the off state and remain in the

remain in the off state for the preset time. Following the preset time, the
contacts transfer to the on state, and remain in the on state until the start input
is supplied. Following the start input, the contacts transfer to the off state for
the preset time. After the preset time has elapsed, the contacts transfer back to
the on state and remain there until either the next start input is supplied or the

1. Turn the selectors securely using a fl at screw-
driver 4mm wide (maximum).
Note that incorrect setting may cause malfunc-
tion. Do not turn the selectors beyond their limits.
2. Since changing the setting during timer operation
may cause malfunction, turn power off before
changing.
Safety Precautions
Special expertise is required to use Electronic Timers.
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 specifi ca-
tions. If you are uncertain about the specifi cations, contact IDEC in advance.
In these directions, safety precautions are categorized in order of importance
under Warning and Caution.
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 fi re hazard.

•
Do not use the Electronic Timer for an emergency stop circuit or inter-
locking 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 dam-
age 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 specifi cations. If
the Electronic Timer is used in places where it will be subjected to high-tem-
perature, high-humidity, condensation, corrosive gases, excessive vibrations,
or excessive shocks, then electrical shocks, fi re 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
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 consider-
ation when specifying a timer.
Contact Protection
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.
Temperature and Humidity
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 suffi cient
period of time to allow it to return to operating temperatures before use.
Environment
Avoid contact between the timer and sulfurous or ammonia gases, organic sol-
vents (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.
Vibration and Shock
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 signifi cant vibration or shock, use of hold down
springs or clips is recommended to secure a timer to its socket.
Time Setting
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.
Input Contacts
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 capaci-
tive load, the SSR dielectric strength should be two or more times the power
voltage when switching the timer power using an SSR.
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
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
Temperature Error = ± 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%
Maximum Scale Value
