These modules also use the great little OMRON G5LE-14 power relay which can switch a large load for its compact size. Module includes: back EMP protection diode;  easy to use wire connection terminals; Normally Open, and Normally Closed contacts; and AC and DC switching via the relay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


DUAL TIMER

The high quality, low cost Dual Timer Modules are small,  easy to use units mainly focussed on the security, electronics, and automation markets. 

Available in 12v DC or 24v DC models, the DualTimer uses the OMRON G5LE-14 power relay which can switch large AC or DC loads, or can be used to switch DC logic circuitry. 

The Timer's focus on two of the most commonly used modes (Delay, and Time Out) makes it easy to set up. For example, set the Timer up in Delay mode as part of a Door Open Too Long (DOTL) alarm.

Positive (3v to 24v DC, Hi) or negative (0v DC, Lo) trigger gives the unit great flexibility when working with inputs.

Alternative Trigger set up to detect loss of positive or negative trigger (ie detect broken circuit).

And the inbuilt trigger hysteresis improves the unit's stability in "dirty" electronic environments, or when using mechanical switches.

Available as either:

  • Circuit Board (also called Card or PCB) modules (mounting tape included, small footprint), or
  • Boxed (DIN rail or screw mountable) modules

ULTRAsmart's DualTimer12 (DT12DC8/03) PCB Card, mounting tape included.
Approx size: 87mm L x 33mm W x 24mm H

Designation / Model Name (DT12DC8/03)
DT = Dual Timer; 12DC = 12 Volt DC Supply; 8 = 8 Amp DC maximum switching current; /03 = Version 03

(You can tell it's the 12v DC model of the DualTimer in the above picture, as the OMRON relay has "12VDC" stamped on it. The 24v DC model has "24VDC" stamped on the top of the relay.)
 

ULTRAsmart's DualTimer12d (DT12DC8/03d). 

Boxed model of the DualTimer12 PCB (without mounting tape).
Approx size: 94mmDIN or 104mm surface mount L x 36mm W x 58mm H

Designation / Model Name (DT12DC8/03d)
DT = Dual Timer; 12DC = 12 Volt DC Supply; 8 = 8 Amp DC maximum switching current; /03 = Version 03; d = DIN rail or surface mountable

 

TIMER MODES
DIP Switch number 1 is used to set the Timer Mode. 

Set the switch to ON for Delay Mode; or to OFF for Time Out Mode. (The panel of 4 DIP Switches is located top centre-right of the board.)

Delay Mode:

  1. To start and keep the timer counting, apply a constant TRIGGER.
  2. At the expiration of the set time, the Relay is switched.
  3. The Relay is released when the TRIGGER is released.

Time Out Mode:

  1. To start the timer counting, a momentary TRIGGER is applied.
  2. The Relay is immediately switched.
  3. At the expiration of the set time, the Relay is released.
  4. The unit checks to ensure that the TRIGGER is released.

 

SOME COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS

  • RELAY: 
    • OMRON G5LE-14 12VDC relay in the DualTimer12.
    • OMRON G5LE-14 24VDC relay in the DualTimer24.
    • Specifications can be found at OMRON's European  web site. (If you can't find the specs on OMRONs's site, we have a PDF copy downloaded in December 2005.) Refer especially the Specifications and Engineering Data headings.

      Max relay switch contact ratings include:
      => DC: Power - 240 W; voltage - 30 Volt; current - 8 amp.
           At voltages less than 30VDC, the current spec is more limiting than 
           the power spec.
      • Therefore max DC current is 8 amp

      => AC: Power - 1,200VA (apparent power); voltage - 250V;
           current - 10 amp
                 At voltages above 120VAC, the power spec is more limiting than 
           the current spec.

      • Therefore  max AC current at 240v AC is 5 amp

    • SPDT - Single Pole Double Throw switch. 

    • Relay endurance information can be found in the Specifications. This can be important especially if you are switching high currents.

  • DIODE: 1 x Rectifier Diode to protect against back EMF when the relay coil depowers 
    • normally 1N4004 (or similar); Standard Silicon Rectifier Power Diode
       
  • TERMINAL BLOCK: 5 Way Screw 
    • Normally comprised of 1 x 2 way block for the signal connections to the relay coil, and 1 x 3 way block for the relay contacts
    • 5mm cable size; Rated at 300 v AC, 10 Amp

     

MANUALS
Please read the manuals for your module as they contain important additional information:

 

EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
We also provide example application information. This may vary in form. For example:

  • an application which uses only one module type may only include setup instructions (eg Door Open Too Long or DOTL alarm using the DualTimer)
  • an application which uses more than one unit or unit type may include a circuit diagram (eg simplified "Traffic Lights")

Naturally, example applications are only intended as a general approach to using our modules. It is the users responsibility to use our modules safely, correctly, and appropriately.

 

CATALOGUE
Our catalogue is available as a PDF document.

 

AVAILABILITY AND PRICE
Our modules are available throughout Australia.

Suppliers - Trade and Commercial
We supply a number of companies who sell to trade and are normally able to provide technical and other services as well. Many have interstate offices/warehouses. If you intend purchasing in commercial quantities, we recommend you contact these people.

Suppliers - Retail
We at ULTRAsmart  provide a postal service for non-trade customers who only want to buy in small quantities.  Payment is required in advance.

The above companies selling to Trade may also sell to retail purchasers.

  

DISCLAIMER
You should check all component specifications (including the relay specification) yourself, and only use the Dual Timer after taking into account the specifications. 

AC current applications should only be done by licenced electricians.  

If you use our Dual Timer, you do so at your own risk.

ULTRAsmart, its employees, directors, owners, shareholders, contractors cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from the use or misuse of these Accessories. Thoroughly test before implementing any applications using the Dual Timer.
