INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION TIMER counts up or down from the time you set, then it beeps and flashes an alarm.

Reliable Timing…

Waterproof – meant for tough industrial environments.

Loud 103dB warbling tone cuts through the loudest industrial noise.

Rugged. Built for rough, wet and corrosive environments.

Simple. Easy to use like a kitchen timer.
Compact enclosure measures only 5 x 5 inches.
High current capacity. 15 A relay output.

Many operating modes to choose from.If you need it, its probably built-in.
Many options to add instant automation to your process.

Automate processes with this industrial production timer. Can be either manually activated with the push button, or connected to machinery to automatically start and stop machines. It is easy to program with only three pushbuttons. once started, it counts down the cycle you set and then resets to the same time for the next cycle. When the cycle is completed, a very loud warbling buzzer sounds and the red beacon LED flashes. Control of devices is conveniently done simply by plugging into the piggyback cord.

OPERATION

Simply press the front green button to start and stop the time. The blue buttons adjust the time up or down. Once the countdown time reaches zero, the timer then counts the overrun upwards so you know how long the timer has been alarming. To cancel the alarm, just press the button again. this is the default mode. (mode #1) There are many more that can be chosen using the DIP switches inside the enclosure.

An Early warning alert consists of a two-second beep and then an indication on the LED you choose for the T5. (must will be the yellow LED on models with stack lights)

The maximum time can be set to either 99 minutes, or 99 hours. (the default for this is 99 minutes which is with switch 1 to the right)

TIMER MODES

In addition, here are many other modes that can be selected with switches inside the box.

Mode 1 counts down or up from the set time. T5-S3 default. video
Mode 2 like mode 1 but does not allow cancellation. video
Mode 3 – vacant
Mode 4 – allows pausing and resuming the cycle. Used for T4 timer.
Mode 5 stops automatically at the end of cycle. video
Mode 6 provides an early warning on the beacon LED. T5 default. video
Mode 7 is a guard duty which is used by the T5G product.
Mode 8 is for spray rinses in plating operations. Must be custom ordered. video
Mode 9 is a custom mode which counts machine run-time. video
Mode 10 – vacant
Mode 11 is a repeating cycle. video
Mode 12 has the relay on during and after the countdown for flushing rinse tanks.
Mode 13 the relay activates after the countdown to either add chemistry, or flush tanks.
Mode 14 is a production pacing (Andon) timer and also has a stop-and-start. video
Mode 15 provides a lockout period. video
Mode 16 – vacant

FEATURES

Waterproof, corrosion-proof This industrial timer was built for the plating industry to take acid fumes, caustic chemicals, washdown. IP65 enclosure makes this suitable for wet, production floors, industry, or outdoors.
Backlit display.
The loudest buzzer on a timer we know of. Different buzzer tones available. Listen to the different tones here.
Relay built-in controls other devices up to 10 A by simply plugging into a piggyback cord. Choice of N.O or N.C. relay output.

AUTOMATION

These timers are designed to be connected to switches. Of the switches available, we like inductive proximity switches for industrial environments because they are immune to dirt buildup and very durable, very repeatable. This is perfect for controlling the time a rack stays in plating tanks for example. However these timers can be used with any type of switch with a contact close like ultrasonic switches that we have used many times.

MODELS

T5 has (blue) buttons on the outside of the enclosure to set the time. Also has internal buttons to set time.
T5X has the same internal buttons to set time, but no external buttons. (for when you don’t want operators to be able to adjust the time)
T5-S3 includes a triple stack LED. Time is set with external buttons.
T5X-S3 includes a triple stack LED. Time is set with Internal buttons.

For a larger format timer please see the T6 page or T7 page.

For custom programs we can create a custom program, or your program may already be on this list of 48 programmable functions.

PROXIMITY SENSOR

The inductive proximity sensor senses any metal surface as from a rack, and will automatically start and stop the timing cycle. When positioned close to a rack saddle, it can detect as far away as 40 mm. Inductive proximity sensing is the best sensing method for dirty environments because it is unaffected by any amount of dirt over the sensor.

MOUNTING BRACKET FOR PROXIMITY SENSOR

In some situations, mounting the proximity switch vertically makes sense. This telescoping mounting bracket makes it easy to anchor to the lip of a tank, and then bring the proximity switch up to the correct height. Pre-drilled holes accept ¼-20 screws. Standard height adjustment range 4-8″. (click on the image for dimensions)
