Multi-range selection: 6 time range options, quick setting via rotary knob.
2.2 High Precision & Fiabilité
Quartz crystal oscillation: Provides extremely high timing accuracy, superior to conventional electromagnetic time relays.
Solid-state electronic design: No mechanical contact wear, long service life, strong vibration and shock resistance.
Wide temperature operation: Adapts to industrial ambient temperature changes for stable performance under harsh conditions.
2.3 Opération facile & Installation
Dual-knob control: “Time Steps” knob for range selection, “t” knob for fine adjustment.
DIN-rail mounting: Standard 35mm DIN rail for fast installation and removal.
Clear indication: Power and output LEDs clearly show operating status.
- Operating Modes & Applications
3.1 Standard Operating Modes
- On Delay: Contacts actuate after the set time delay when power is applied.
- Off Delay: Contacts reset after the set time delay when power is removed (supported by ERV-08M.).
3.2 Typical Application Areas
- Automatisation industrielle: Sequential production line control, motor start delay, intermittent pump control.
- Building electrical: Lighting timer control, delayed ventilation, elevator door control.
- Systèmes CVC: Air conditioning compressor protection delay, fan timer operation, heat pump cycle control.
- Water treatment: Alternating pump operation, filter backwash timer, sedimentation tank sludge discharge control.
- Agricultural applications: Irrigation system timing, greenhouse ventilation and temperature control.
- Model Differences & Variants
| Modèle | Main Differences | Application |
| VRE-08 | Standard version, mainly supports on-delay | General industrial control, simple timing applications |
| VRE-08M. | Version améliorée, supports on-delay and off-delay | Complex applications requiring dual timing control |
| VRE-08RC | With 3m extension cable, for remote installation | Long distance between control cabinet and field devices |
| VRE-08-S | Sealed type, Protection IP65 | Outdoor, dusty or humid environments |
- Câblage & Guide d'utilisation
5.1 Standard Terminals
| Terminal | Description |
| A1 | Power supply (+) |
| A2 | Power supply (–) |
| 1 | Common contact |
| 2 | Normally closed contact (Caroline du Nord) |
| 3 | Normally open contact (NON) |
5.2 Étapes de fonctionnement
- Connect power (A1, A2) and load (1-2 ou 1-3).
- Turn the “Time Steps” knob to select the time range (par ex., 10-minute range).
- Turn the “t” knob to set the precise time value (0.1-10 times the range value).
- Apply power; the time relay starts operating, and contacts actuate when the set time is reached.
- Sélection & Alternatives
6.1 Key Selection Parameters
- Supply voltage: Choose according to on-site power (220V AC or 110V AC).
- Timing range: Select appropriate range based on control requirements (0.1s-100h).
- Contact rating: Ensure rated current ≥ load current (5A for resistive loads; derate for inductive loads).
- Operating mode: Select on-delay or off-delay based on control logic (VRE-08M.).
