Delay on Break Timers ("anti-short cycle", "ON delay on break") helps to protect air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump equipment from damage which may be caused by the rapid short cycling of compressors.
Features
- Dual function delay on make/break
- UL 873 recognition as compressor controller
- Up to 3 seconds random start time
- Random start delay is ideal for stagger-starting multiple units
- Compressor lockout/anti-short cycle timer plus random start function
- Low cost open board package
- Conformally coated for added protection
- Plastic standoffs
Mode of Operation - Upon application power, the load is energized. When the thermostat or other switch opens or there is a loss of power, the load is de-energized and the delay period begins. The compressor will not start again during the delay period. Restart occurs after the delay period has elapsed.
