Electronic time-delay module DILM32-XTEE11(RA24) 101440

Time module for contactors – precise switch-on delay

This time module, designed to work with Eaton DILM series contactors, enables the implementation of a delayed switch-on function. This is particularly useful in applications requiring sequential start-up of devices, protection against inrush currents when starting motors, or in industrial automation systems. The module provides precise time control, which translates into reliable operation of the installation and increased safety.

Functionality and application

The DILM32-XTEE11(RA24) module is based on electronic technology, offering a wide range of time settings from 0.05 to 100 seconds. This allows it to be adapted to the specific needs of the application. It has one normally open and one normally closed contact, allowing for flexible use in various control circuits. Its compact dimensions (86 x 38 x 45 mm) make it easy to mount even in limited spaces.

This module finds application in:

• Motor control systems: Delayed switch-on reduces inrush currents during motor start-up, protecting both the motor and the other elements of the installation.
• Industrial automation: Sequential start-up of machines and devices using precise time delays.
• Lighting: Delayed switch-on of lamps avoids sudden surges in the electrical network load.
• Heating systems: Control of heater switch-on time to optimize energy consumption and ensure stable temperature.

Characteristics and operating parameters

The module is characterized by high repeatability accuracy (below 5%) and stable operation over a wide range of ambient temperatures (-25°C to +60°C). The rated operating voltage is a maximum of 250 V AC/DC, and the rated short-circuit current is 125 A (depending on the protection used). The mechanical endurance of the module is as many as 3 million switching operations AC or DC, which guarantees long and trouble-free operation. It is worth noting the compliance with safety standards (CSA, IEC/EN 60947, UL), which confirms its high quality and reliability. Protection against accidental contact with fingers and hands further increases safety.
