Rhomberg's Slimline timers

October 2012 Sensors & Transducers

Rhomberg timers are available in two distinct series, Slimline 11 pin plug in format and A-Line Din rail mount format. This comprehensive range has helped solve many timing applications required by industry both locally and internationally.

Both series of timers offer a multitude of timing functions available in standard time ranges of up to 999 hours. The featured programmability allows parameters such as time and or function to be set or adjusted as required. Because of this, stockholding is reduced, offering cost and space savings to resellers and end users. All the timers are multi-function with the exception of the star/delta timers (ST130 or AT130) and the no-power delay-off timer (ST300/301). Added together there are over 20 different timing models available in the range, varying from simple delay-on to pulse reset and hold functions.

A wide range of power input options is also available with options such as 90–250 VAC and 10–30 VAC/DC. Output relays are available as SPST or DPDT.
