Rascal HRM250 Adjustable Delay 10 Function Relay - Cover

This versatile relay module has two independent timers built in to it so it can be set up to switch the relay contacts on and off in a variety of ways. With each timer being adjustable for 0.005s up to 270hrs.
A built in LED display allows the user to set up the device to the function they require.

The HRM250 has a non-volatile memory so once set up if the power is removed it will remember its settings. The HRM250 really has 10 main functions but 8 of these 10 functions can be imitated in two different ways.
You can either start the function by applying power to the HRM250 or start the function by applying a trigger voltage to it with power permanently applied to the HRM250.

  1. Power up – Delay switch on
  2. Power up – Delay switch on
  3. Power up – Delay switch on followed by delay switch on
  4. Power up – Delay switch off followed by delay switch on
  5. Power up – Continuous loop starting with relay off then on
  6. Power up – Continuous loop starting with relay on then off
  7. Power up – Set number of “N” loops starting with relay off then on
  8. Power up – Set number of “N” loops starting with relay on then off
  9. Toggle mode – Trigger input toggles output
  10. Mimic mode – Relay energizes whenever input trigger present
  11. Positive trigger – Delay switch on
  12. Positive trigger – Delay switch off
  13. Positive trigger – Delay switch on followed by delay switch off
  14. Positive trigger – Delay switch off followed by delay switch on
  15. Positive trigger – Continuous loop starting with relay off then on
  16. Positive trigger – Continuous loop starting with relay on then off
  17. Positive trigger – Set number of “N” loops starting with relay off then on
  18. Positive trigger – Set number of “N” loops starting with relay on then off

The HRM250 really has 10 main functions but 8 of these 10 functions can be imitated in two different ways.
You can either start the function by applying power to the HRM250 or start the function by applying a trigger voltage to it with power permanently applied to the HRM250.
The first 1-8 functions are triggered when you actually Power up the device, i.e. apply 12V to it. These are 8 different timing functions.
Functions 9 and 10 are “toggle” and “mimic” functions where the relay toggles or mimics a trigger input to it. For functions 9 & 10 the
HRM250 needs power permanently applied to it.
When using a trigger input it needs to be a “positive trigger’ this means the trigger signal is between 8 and 12V usually it will be at the supply voltage of 12V

Rascal HRM250 Adjustable Delay 10 Function Relay - Product Overview1

Buttons

There are 4 buttons:
SET
SWI NO
NUM +
NUM –
They all have short and long presses:

Short presses

are less than 1 second long

Long presses

are more than 1 second long

Operating modes

  • Normal Operation d
  • Parameter view
  • Parameter setting

LED display

  • Used to set or view the timing parameters

N Functions

Functions 01-06

  • LED display indicates the “time multiplier’ for

Timer1 and Timer2

  • Time base varies from 00 to 99 – 00 = .005 second time multiplier (for very fine timing)
  • 01 = 1 second time multiplier
  • 99 = 99 second time multiplier
  • First two LED digits indicate time multiplier for

Timer

  • Second two LED digits indicate time multiplier for Timer2

LED indicators

4 blue parameter indicators:

MD: Active program function (01 to 18)
On = Timing stopped
Flashing = Timing function has completed

Timer1: Timer one – 1 to 9999 seconds
On = Displays current Timer1 value
Flashing = Timer2 is counting Timer2:

Timer two – 1 to 9999 seconds
On = Displays current Timer2 value
Flashing = Timer2 is counting

N: Varies for each function. See N Function Opposite
On = Displays current N value

1 red power on indicator
1 blue relay active indicator
