Overview

The Macromatic TR-6172U is a plug-in Time Delay Relay from the TR-6 Series, designed for industrial control applications requiring precise timing and flexible functionality. This DPDT relay delivers 10A switching capacity with dual-time functions, supporting 16 programmable timing ranges from 0.05 seconds to 100 hours. Time settings are easily configured via a rotary switch or DIP switches, eliminating the need for external timing modules. The TR-6172U operates with universal input voltage compatibility (24-240V AC, 12-125V DC) and features independently adjustable ON and OFF times for repeat cycle or delayed interval modes. Compatible with industry-standard 8 & 11 pin octal sockets, it simplifies installation and reduces inventory requirements by replacing multiple single-function relays. Ideal for motor control, lighting systems, and process automation where delayed switching or cyclic operation is required. The relay’s microprocessor-based design ensures repeat accuracy of ±0.1% or ±0.04 seconds, with a reset time of 40ms (control switch) or 100ms (input voltage). Encapsulated for protection against harsh environments, it handles most pilot duty and fractional HP loads with 10A DPDT output contacts.
