Electronic timer CT-APS.12
OFF-delayed with 1 c/o (SPDT) contact
The CT-APS.12 is an electronic timer from the
CT-S range with OFF-delay and 10 time ranges.
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).

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-APS.12 with 1 c/o contact offers 10 time ranges, from 0.05 s to 300 h, 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.
Timing is displayed by a flashing green LED labelled U/T.

Function diagram
OFF-delay with auxiliary voltage
This function requires continuous control supply voltage for timing.
If control input A1-Y1/B1 is closed, the output relay energizes immediately. If control input A1-Y1/B1 is opened, the time
delay starts. The green LED flashes during timing. When the selected time delay is complete, the output relay de-energizes
and the flashing green LED turns steady.
If control input A1-Y1/B1 recloses before the time delay is complete, the time delay is reset and the output relay does not
change state. Timing starts again when control input A1-Y1/B1 re-opens.
If control supply voltage is interrupted, the output relay de-energizes and the time delay is reset.
