Y92S-20 Battery for Memory Backup

Use this battery with H5CN-XN❑M timers with memory protection circuit. While the timer's
built-in memory protection circuit can retain values for power failures lasting up to 10
minutes, the optional battery protects memory in case of a longer power outage. We
recommend using the battery as a safeguard. Memory values can be retained for up to 5
years.

Hard plastic cover Y92A-48B and soft plastic cover Y92A-48D snap onto the front of the timer to protect against dirt and water. The
Y92A-48B hard plastic cover prevents accidental resetting. Y92A-48D soft plastic cover fits snugly over the front and allows settings to
be changed. These covers are intended for use in areas where unusual service conditions do not exist.

without memory protection.

■ CONTROL OUTPUT

Timed contact output type H5CN-❑❑N

Terminals 5, 6 and 8 are used for the output

relay. A normally open contact (Load 1) is
connected between terminals 6 and 8. A
normally closed contact (Load 2) is connected
between terminals 5 and 8.

H5CN H5CN

Timed Solid-state output type H5CN-X❑NS

The solid-state output uses an open collector

type transistor. Connect terminal 6 (collector) to
the positive terminal of the load. Connect
terminal 8 (emitter) to the negative terminal. A
built-in surge suppression diode on terminal 5
should be connected to the positive terminal of
the load when the timer switches an inductive
load.

Timed contact output with memory protection H5CN-X❑NM

Terminals 8, 9 and 11 are used for the output relay.

A normally open contact (Load 1) is connected
between terminals 9 and 11. A normally closed
contact (Load 2) is connected between terminals
8 and 11.

■ RESET INPUT

Timers without memory protection H5CN-❑❑❑, H5CN-❑❑❑S

Connect a no-voltage contact or an open collector transistor

output to terminals 1 and 3. The timer resets when contact
is made or when the transistor turns ON.

Timers without memory protection H5CN-❑❑❑, H5CN-❑❑❑S

Connect a no-voltage contact or an open collector

transistor output to terminals 1 and 4. The gate
input interrupts timing when the contact closes or
when the transistor is ON. Timing resumes from the
point of interruption when the gate input is
removed.

Timers with memory protection H5CN-❑❑❑M

Connect a no-voltage contact or an open collector

transistor output to terminals 3 and 5. The gate
input interrupts timing when the contact closes or
when the transistor is ON. Timing resumes from
the point of interruption when the gate input is
removed.

■ BATTERY FOR MEMORY PROTECTION

Connect the Y92S-20 battery between terminals 1

and 4 on H5CN-❑❑❑M timers. The 3 V lithium
battery is in a holder with lead wire and termina-
tions. It may be used to preserve timer memory
for power outages that are longer than 10 minutes
duration. Because power failure duration is
unpredictable, we recommend using Y92S-20 for
long-term memory back up.

■ SIMULTANEOUS INPUT TO SEVERAL H5CN TIMERS

For expanded convenience, input signal may Gate input, without memory protection Gate input, with memory protection
be used to apply gate and reset signals to
several H5CN timers. Also a combination of
gate to some and reset to other timers is
possible. Timers with and without memory
backup may be used together. Pay attention
to the different terminal numbers required for
gate and reset when mixing timer types.

Mounting
■ PANEL MOUNTING

Using Y92F-30 Adapter

Insert the timer through the panel cutout. Push the Y92F-30
adapter from the rear of the timer as far forward toward the
panel as possible. Push the P3G❑-❑❑ socket onto the rear
of the timer. Then wire the socket. Tighten the two retaining
screws. To release the adapter, lift the tab at the rear of the
adapter.
