Time relay AL 230VAC 80.11.0.240.0000

Time relay AL 230VAC – reliable delay in operation

The AL 230VAC time relay is a modular device designed to control electrical circuits with a delayed-on function (AL – on-delay). Its universal power supply (24-230VAC/DC) and relay output (1P 16A at 250VAC) make it a versatile automation element, finding application in both home and industrial installations. The compact housing with a width of 17.5mm facilitates mounting on a standard 35mm DIN rail.

Functionality and application

The AL time relay is useful in situations where a delay in switching on the load is required. Typical applications include:

• Lighting control – e.g. delayed switching on of lights in a corridor or stairs.
• Ventilation control – e.g. delayed switching off of the fan after a bath.
• Heating control – e.g. delayed switching on of the heater to avoid sudden power consumption.
• Industrial process automation – everywhere where precise control of device operating time is required.

Thanks to the delayed-on function, the relay protects devices from sudden voltage surges during start-up, which extends their lifespan. This is particularly important for devices with induction motors or other loads with high inrush current.

Characteristics and mounting

The device is characterized by a simple construction and easy mounting on a 35mm DIN rail. The universal power supply allows it to be used in various installations without the need for additional transformers or voltage stabilizers. The relay has a single pole switching contact (1P), which can be used to control various loads with a maximum current of 16A at 250VAC. Solid construction guarantees reliable operation for a long time, and compact dimensions allow for efficient use of space in control cabinets and electrical switchboards.
