When voltage is applied to the input, the internal relay picks up and the time delay begins regardless of the position of the control switch. With the switch in the open position, when voltage is applied, the timer will complete its time delay period and the internal relay will drop out if the switch is not closed before the completion of the time delay period. With the switch in the closed position, when voltage is applied, the timer will complete its time delay period and the internal relay will drop out if the switch is not opened and reclosed before the completion of the time delay period. After voltage has been applied, closing of the control switch initiates the time delay period. Reset is accomplished by interrupting the supply voltage or re-closing the control switch.TDM Series Energy Conservation Timer Relay Output
