4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Functional Modes
The module offers six functional modes (P1-1 to P1-6) for various timing requirements:
- P1-1: After delay time T1, the relay pulls in.
- P1-2: After delay time T1, the relay releases.
- P1-3: After delay time T1, the relay pulls in. After delay time T2, the relay releases.
- P1-4: After delay time T1, the relay releases. After delay time T2, the relay pulls in.
- P1-5: After delay time T1, the relay pulls in. After delay time T2, the relay releases, and the cycle repeats.
- P1-6: After delay time T1, the relay releases. After delay time T2, the relay pulls in, and the cycle repeats.
4.2 Button Settings
The module features four buttons for configuration and operation:

- Setting Button (Gear Icon): Press and hold for 2 seconds to enter function settings. Short press to switch between parameter settings.
- Increase Button (Up Arrow): Increases the time value.
- Decrease Button (Down Arrow): Decreases the time value.
- Confirm Button (Power Icon): Starts or stops the timing process.
4.3 Timing Range Explanation
The timing range varies based on the decimal point position:
- XX.X: Timing range 0.1 seconds to 99.9 seconds.
- XXX: Timing range 1 second to 999 seconds.
- XXX.: Timing range 1 minute to 999 minutes.
- XX.X.: Timing range 1 hour to 999 hours.

5. Maintenance
The Akozon YF-4 module is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Keep the device clean and free from dust and moisture. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or corrosive environments. Regularly check wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear. If the device is not functioning correctly, refer to the troubleshooting section before attempting any repairs.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Akozon YF-4 module, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power/Display Off: Check the 12V DC power supply connection. Ensure the power source is active and correctly wired.
- Relay Not Activating: Verify the functional mode (P1-1 to P1-6) and ensure the T1/T2 delay times are set correctly. Check the load connection and ensure it is within the 5A AC/DC limit.
- Incorrect Timing: Re-check the decimal point setting for the timing range (XX.X, XXX, XXX., XX.X.). Ensure the desired time unit (seconds, minutes, hours) is selected.
- Buttons Unresponsive: Ensure the module is powered on. If the issue persists, try resetting the device by disconnecting and reconnecting power.
For persistent issues not resolved by these steps, contact customer support.
