## Electronic timer CT-ARS.21 

## OFF-delayed without auxiliary voltage with 2 c/o (SPDT) contacts 

The CT-ARS.21 is an electronic timer from the 

CT-S range with true OFF-delay. It provides 7 time ranges and a continuous rated control voltage that enables worldwide use regardless of the supply voltage. 

All electronic timers from the CT-S range are available with two different terminal versions. You can choose between the proven screw connection technology (double-chamber cage connection terminals) and the completely tool-free Easy Connect Technology (push-in terminals). 

## Characteristics 

- Rated control supply voltage 24-240 V AC/DC 

- OFF-delay timer without auxiliary voltage 

- 7 time ranges (0.05 s - 10 min) 

- Precise adjustment by front-face operating elements 

- Screw connection technology or Easy Connect Technology available 

## Approvals 

A UL 508, CAN/CSA C22.2 No.14 C GL pending D GOST K CB scheme E CCC 

- Enclosure material for highest fi re protection classifi cation 

- Tool-free mounting and demounting on DIN-rail 

- 2 c/o (SPDT) contacts 

- 22.5 mm (0.89 in) width 

- 1 LED for status indication

## Application 

The CT-S range timers are designed for use in industrial applications. They operate over an universal range of supply voltages and a large time delay range, within compact dimensions. The easy-to-set front-face potentiometers, with direct reading scales, provide accurate time delay adjustment. 

## Operating mode 

The CT-ARS.21 with 2 c/o contacts offers 7 time ranges, from 0.05 s to 10 min, for the adjustment of the time delay. The time delay range is rotary switch selectable. The fine adjustment of the time delay is made via an internal potentiometer, with a direct reading scale, on the front of the unit.

Function diagram 

## OFF-delay without auxiliary voltage 

The OFF-delay function without auxiliary voltage does not require continuous control supply voltage for timing.  Prior to first commissioning and after a six-month stop in operation, a formatting time of 5 minutes is necessary. 

Applying control supply voltage energizes the output relay immediately. Applied control supply voltage is displayed by the glowing green LED. If control supply voltage is interrupted, the OFF-delay starts and the LED turns off. When timing is complete, the output relay de-energizes. 

For correct operation of the unit, it is necessary to complete the minimum energizing time.
