Product Overview
The FINDER Series 83 Modular Timer (Model: 83.02.0.240.0000) is a versatile multi-function, multi-voltage timer designed for various industrial and commercial applications. This device features a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) 10A relay with a wide operating voltage range of 24V-240V AC/DC coil. It is engineered for precise timing control in automation systems, offering reliability and ease of integration.
This image displays the FINDER Series 83 Modular Timer, highlighting its various connection terminals (A1, A2, B1, 25(21), 28(24), 26(22), 15, 16, 18, Z1, Z2) and control dials for time setting and function selection.
Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and effective operation of the timer. Ensure all power sources are disconnected before beginning installation.
- Mounting: The timer is designed for modular mounting, typically on a DIN rail. Securely attach the device to the rail in a suitable enclosure, ensuring adequate ventilation.
- Power Connection: Connect the power supply (24V-240V AC/DC) to the coil terminals, typically labeled A1 and A2. Observe polarity if using DC, though the wide voltage range often accommodates non-polarized connections.
- Load Connections:
- Connect the common terminal of the first pole to 15. The normally open (NO) contact is 18, and the normally closed (NC) contact is 16.
- For the second pole, the common terminal is 25(21). The normally open (NO) contact is 28(24), and the normally closed (NC) contact is 26(22).
- Ensure all wiring conforms to local electrical codes and standards. Use appropriate wire gauges for the 10A rating.
- External Control (if applicable): If an external start/reset signal is used, connect it to terminals Z1 and Z2 as per the specific function selected.
After wiring, double-check all connections for tightness and correctness before applying power.
Operating Instructions
The Series 83 timer offers multi-functionality controlled by its front-panel dials.
- Function Selection: Use the lower rotary switch, labeled with various symbols (e.g., AI, OFF), to select the desired timing function. Refer to the product's detailed datasheet for a complete list and description of available functions. The 'AI' function typically refers to a delay-on-make timer.
- Time Range Selection: The upper rotary switch (e.g., 1s) selects the base time range for the timer.
- Time Setting: The central blue dial, marked from 0.5 to 10 (with a 'T' indicating time), allows for fine adjustment of the delay within the selected time range. For example, if the time range is set to '1s' and the dial to '5', the delay will be 5 seconds.
- Power On: Once configured, apply power to the A1/A2 terminals. The timer will begin its operation according to the selected function and set time.
Always ensure the selected function and time range are appropriate for your application to prevent unintended operation.
Maintenance
The FINDER Series 83 timer is designed for long-term, reliable operation with minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Keep the timer free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Connection Checks: Periodically inspect wiring connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or overheating.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent premature failure.
- Visual Inspection: Look for any signs of physical damage, discoloration, or unusual odors, which may indicate a problem.
Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance or inspection.
Troubleshooting
If the timer is not functioning as expected, consider the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Timer does not activate/relay does not switch. | No power to coil (A1/A2), incorrect voltage, incorrect function selected, faulty wiring. | Verify power supply and voltage. Check all wiring connections. Ensure correct function is selected. Test the timer with a known good power source. |
| Incorrect timing delay. | Incorrect time range or time setting, external interference. | Adjust the time range and time setting dials. Ensure stable power supply. Check for electromagnetic interference. |
| Relay chattering or erratic behavior. | Unstable power supply, excessive load, faulty unit. | Verify stable power supply. Ensure load current does not exceed 10A. If issues persist, the unit may be faulty and require replacement. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact FINDER technical support for further assistance.
