TEF5-ON is a frontal electronic timer used to realize the timing function and allow a compact solution in the cabinet compared to separate timersUA16..UA75, AX contactors or NX contactor relays. A mechanical indicator allows to show the state of the contactor. TEF5 electronic timers are supplied by a direct plug-in parallel connection to the coil terminals A1 - A2 of the contactor or contactor relay. A varistor is integrated on the timer to offer a built-in protection against surges in the contactor coil. The TEF5 is available for a wide control voltage range 24...240 V AC/DC. TEF5 allow time-delayed functions up to 100 s in 3 distinct time ranges, independently of the control system. The time delay ranges are selected by a switch and the time delay can be adjusted by means of a rotary switch. The timing function of TEF5-ON is activated by closing the device on which the timer is mounted.
