An industrial timer is a specified-time relay per IEC 61812-1: it delays the closing or opening of a contact after a control signal. It mounts on 35 mm DIN rail (IEC/EN 60715) or an 8- or 11-pin socket and covers typical ranges from 0.1 s to 10 h through switchable scales.
The industrial timer is a control device used to execute delays, pauses, cycles and sequences in electrical panels. At TECTUL it is quoted by function, supply voltage, output type, mounting base and need for front adjustment. The actual lot data includes multifunction electronic timers with on-delay, off-delay and cyclic modes, plus DIN rail or 8/11-pin socket mounting. It differs from an encapsulated control relay because the timer incorporates a time function; the encapsulated relay switches control signals without its own timing, unless it is part of external logic. In machinery panels, control, indication, protection and documentation criteria are usually aligned with IEC 60204-1, while command and control devices are selected within the IEC 60947 family.

| Function | Behavior |
|---|---|
| On-delay | The contact switches after time t from energization |
| Off-delay | The contact holds and switches t after the signal is removed |
| Symmetric / asymmetric cyclic | Repeated ON/OFF switching with t1 = t2 or t1 ≠ t2 |
| One-shot | Generates a single pulse of duration t on the trigger edge |
Time relays are specified under IEC 61812-1. Standard mounting is 35 mm DIN rail per IEC/EN 60715 or an 8/11-pin socket base for replacement without rewiring.
The price depends on function, voltage, mounting type and output. TECTUL quotes via WhatsApp according to the panel diagram or required function.
The timer executes a time function. The encapsulated control relay switches control signals through contacts, without its own timing.
It is mounted on DIN rail or socket, supplied with the correct control voltage and its contacts are wired into the control circuit. The configuration must be tested before operation.
It is a function in which the output changes state after a delay counted from energization or start signal, depending on the model.
It is a function that alternates activation and pause periods to repeat a control sequence.
Yes, it may be possible, but space, existing base, number of pins, available contacts and supply voltage must be reviewed.
One that counts time from the moment it is powered and only then switches its contact: used to stagger motor starts, delay alarms and provide stabilization times.
The 8-pin socket serves devices with 2 changeover contacts and the 11-pin socket devices with 3; both mount on 35 mm DIN rail per IEC/EN 60715.
