Applications

The 438USA timer is ideal for applications requiring precise delay-on-make timing, such as:

• HVAC systems
• Transportation equipment
• Lighting control
• Elevator and escalator systems

Its robust design and adjustable timing make it suitable for various industrial and commercial uses.

Installation and Operation

Installation is straightforward, with the timer connected in series with the load circuit. Upon applying power, the timer remains in the off state. After the preset delay period, it switches on, allowing the load to energize. The load remains energized as long as power is applied.

For applications requiring different timing ranges, such as 0.1-102.4 seconds or 2-2048 seconds, consider the Artisan 438USA-X model.

Ensure compliance with all applicable electrical codes and standards during installation and operation.
