INDUSTRIAL TIMER counts up or down and alarms. Large display, stack light, and power relay output.
Industrial Process Timer …
- Time is easily adjustable from 1 second to 100 hours.
- Easy installation! Just mount in place with screws.
- Waterproof proof and corrosion proof. Built for rugged industrial service.
- Loud buzzer. 103 dB @ 2 ft.
- Easy to set time with 3 buttons like a kitchen timer.
- Large digital display with 30 mm digits.
- 15A Relay output included.
At home in all sorts of factory settings, this industrial timer features easy installation, just mount it and plug it in. The front button starts and stops the timing cycle. The time is set easily with the intuitive pushbutton switches located on the side of the box.
TIMER OPERATION
The time counts down from preset time. (or counts up if starting from zero) The green stack light LED illuminates while timing. At the end of the time cycle, the alarm sounds and the red LED illuminates. For the three-light model T6-S3, the yellow light comes on before the end of the cycle as an early warning.
TIMER MODES
Below are the standard operating modes in the current firmware:
- 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
TIMER FEATURES
- Counts down anywhere between 1 second to 100 hours.
- Waterproof rating IP65.
- Large display measures 90 mm x 35 mm. (this is substantially larger than the T5/T5 timers)
- Piggyback plug output with 10A relay.
- Typically powered from 120VAC but can be adapted to run from any line power: 12VDC, 24VDC, 24VAC, 240VAC.
INDUSTRIAL TIMER MODELS
- T6-S2 has a double stack-light (red/green). When timing starts, the green light illuminates. When cycle is over, the red LED illuminates and buzzer sounds. Includes a relay output to control devices with a piggyback cord.
- T6-S3 has a triple stack light (red/green/amber) to add an “early warning” mode on the amber LED. You may set a warning period before the end of cycle and when this “warning time” is reached, the amber LED lights up and the buzzer beeps briefly.
- If external buttons are not wanted for time setting then the time is set with the internal buttons on the PCB. This is model T6X.
INDUSTRIAL TIMER OPTIONS
The large enclosure is ideal for optional features and customizations. For example, an additional relay can be put in the enclosure to provide 30A relay outputs. See this customer application on our “custom timers” page on truck washing for more.
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 a rack as far away as 30 mm. Inductive proximity sensing is the superior sensing method for dirty grimy operations because it is unaffected by any amount of dirt over the sensor. (unlike laser, optical and mechanical sensors)
The T6-S3 model, can indicate if contact is broken after initial contact, In this case the amber light illuminates and the buzzer chirps for the duration of the cycle to indicate a fault.
For custom programs we can create a custom program, or your program may already be on this list of 48 programmable functions.

TELESCOPING MOUNT FOR PROX. SENSOR
In some situations, mounting the proximity switch vertically in order to sense the bottom of a rack or hoist part 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)
