Overview

The Macromatic TE-6026U is a single-function, multi-range ON Delay time delay relay from the TE-6 Series, designed for precise timing control in industrial automation systems. This relay features a universal voltage input range of 12-240V AC/DC, making it compatible with a wide variety of power sources. Its compact 17.5 mm enclosure is optimized for space-constrained control panels, mounting efficiently on standard 35 mm DIN-rails. The TE-6026U offers a fixed timing function with an inhibit feature, where the time delay begins upon application of input voltage and the output energizes at the end of the delay. The control input allows pausing the ongoing delay, resuming only after the control contact reopens. With a contact rating of 10A @ 250V AC and a time range from 0.1 seconds to 100 hours, this relay is ideal for applications requiring reliable, adjustable timing control. Built for durability, it operates within a temperature range of -20° to 55° C and meets cURus and CE safety standards.
  • Universal voltage input: 12-240V AC/DC for flexible power compatibility

How to Install the TE-6026U Time Delay Relay

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the TE-6026U Time Delay Relay, ensuring proper wiring and setup for optimal performance.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, 8 or 11 pin octal socket

  1. Mount the octal socket

    Install the appropriate 8 or 11 pin octal socket in a suitable enclosure. Ensure it is securely fastened and positioned for easy access.

  2. Wire the socket

    Connect the socket according to the wiring diagram on the side of the time delay relay. Match the terminal numbers on the socket with those shown on the diagram, using #12-20 solid or stranded copper wires.

  3. Insert the time delay relay

    Plug the time delay relay into the socket, ensuring the key on the center post is oriented correctly. Avoid rocking the relay excessively to prevent damage.

  4. Set the function

    Select the desired function using the rotary switch on the relay. Refer to the Select Function Chart to choose the appropriate setting.

  5. Configure time range and delay

    Choose one of the 16 time ranges from the Timing Range Chart and set the rotary switch accordingly. Adjust the time delay by turning the potentiometer knob on the top of the unit.

  6. Verify connections

    Before powering on, double-check all wiring connections against the wiring diagram to ensure accuracy and safety.

  7. Power on the unit

    Restore power to the system and monitor the relay for proper operation. If issues arise, recheck connections and settings.
