Overview
The IDEC RTE-P2AD24 is a multi-function electronic timer relay engineered for signal-triggered timing applications in building automation, HVAC systems, and industrial control. Timer functions for RTE-B2/RTE-P2 are signal triggered and include ON-Delay, OFF-Cycle, OFF-Delay, ON-Cycle and Single-Shot. This 11-pin plug-in unit operates on 24 VAC or 24 VDC, making it compatible with standard low-voltage control circuits.
Key Features
- Time Delay Settings: 0.1 sec to 600 hours with 20 selectable time ranges
- Contact Configuration: 2 Form C, DPDT (delay outputs) with 10A contact rating at 240 VAC or 30 VDC
- High repeat accuracy of ±0.2%
- ON and timing out LED indicators for operational feedback
- Timer functions and time ranges are easily selected by setting external switches, with a front knob to set the precise delay period within the selected time range
- High power 10 A contacts

Typical Applications
The RTE Series Multi-Function Electronic Timers are ideal for Building Automation Systems, BAS. Common uses include pump start delays, solenoid valve sequencing, motor soft-start timing, equipment warm-up cycles, and cycle timing for HVAC and environmental control systems. The signal-triggered design with multiple timing functions makes it suitable for both standard and complex control schemes.
