Reversible time relay, contacts: 1NO/1NC, 230V, 16A PCR-513-16

Reversible time relay – reliable time control

The PCR-513-16 time relay is a device designed for automating the time control of various electrical receivers. It will work both in industrial and home installations, allowing precise switching on and off of devices such as ventilation, heating or lighting. Its versatility and compact size make it an ideal solution for installers and users looking for a reliable and easy-to-install device.

Functionality and application

The PCR-513-16 relay operates in delayed-on mode, which means that after receiving the control signal, the circuit is activated only after the set time has elapsed. This avoids unwanted inrush currents when starting some devices, and also allows for the implementation of time sequences in more complex automation systems. A wide range of time adjustment (from 0.1 seconds to 576 hours) allows you to adapt the device to specific application needs. Mounting on a 35mm DIN rail makes it easy to integrate with existing electrical infrastructure.

Technical characteristics and benefits

The device is characterized by a digital, single-function operating principle, which ensures precision and repeatability of settings. Its compact design – only 1 module wide – saves space in the switchgear cabinet. The relay has 1NO/NC switching contacts (one normally open/normally closed), which allow control of various types of loads. The rated switching current of 250 V AC is 16A, which allows to handle most standard receivers. Status indication by LEDs (red – contact status, green – power supply) facilitates diagnostics and monitoring of the device. AC/DC power supply in the range of 1…230V increases flexibility of use.
