OFF-delayed without auxiliary voltage with 2 c/o contacts
Data sheet

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‑ARS.21 with 2 c/o contacts offers 7 time ranges, from 0.05 s ‑ 10 min, 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.

Remarks
Legend:
G Control supply voltage not applied / Output contact open
B Control supply voltage applied / Output contact closed

Terminal designations on the device and in the diagrams:

The 1st c/o contact is designated 15‑16/18. The 2nd c/o contact is designated 25‑26/28. Control supply
voltage is applied to terminals A1‑A2.

B  OFF‑delay without auxiliary voltage

The OFF‑delay function without auxiliary voltage does not require continuous control supply voltage for
timing. After a storage time of several months without any voltage, a formatting time of about 5 minutes
is necessary.
Applying control supply voltage energizes the output relay immediately. Applied control supply voltage is
displayed by the glowing green LED. If control supply voltage is interrupted, the OFF‑delay starts and the
LED turns off. When timing is complete, the output relay de‑energizes.
For correct operation of the unit, it is necessary to complete the minimum energizing time.
