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.

TDR4A22

The TDR Series of time-delay relays are comprised of digital circuitry and an isolated, 10A relay output. The ON and OFF delays are selected by means of two, ten position binary switches, which allow the setting of the desired delay to be precise every time. Operation (Recycling - ON Time First): Upon application of input voltage, the green LED glows, the output relay is energized, the red LED glows, and the T1 ON time begins. At the end of the ON time, the output de-energizes, the red LED turns OFF and the T2, OFF time begins. At the end of the OFF time, the output relay energizes and the cycle repeats as long as input voltage is applied. Reset: Removing input voltage resets the output and time delays, and returns the sequence to the first delay. Operation (Recycling - OFF Time First): Upon application of input voltage, the green LED glows, the T1 OFF time begins, the load is OFF. At the end of the OFF time, the T2 ON time begins, the load energizes, and the red LED glows. At the end of the ON time the load de-energizes and the red LED turns OFF. The cycle repeats until input voltage is removed. Reset: Removing input voltage resets the output and the sequence to the OFF time.
