Overview
The IDEC RTE-B1AF20 is a versatile multi-function electronic timer designed for precise timing control in building automation systems (BAS), industrial machinery, and process automation. This socket-mounted timer is ideal for Building Automation Systems, offering multiple timing functions and a wide range of adjustable delay periods. The timer functions and time ranges are easily selected by setting external switches, and the knob on the front of the timer is used to set the precise delay period within the selected time range.
Key Features
- Power-triggered timer functions include ON-Delay, Interval, OFF-Cycle, and ON-Cycle
