The ELK-960 Universal Delay Timer Module provides flexible timed relay control for alarm, access-control and automation applications. It operates from 12–24V DC and supports positive or negative triggering, adjustable delays and selectable one-shot or repeating operation.
Best For
Timed door releases, alarm outputs, access-control functions, lighting control and other low-voltage applications requiring an adjustable relay delay.
Key Features
- 12–24V DC operating range
- Adjustable timing from 1–60 seconds or 1–60 minutes
- Selectable positive or negative trigger
- Positive trigger voltage from 4.5–24V DC
- Low-current trigger input of less than 1mA
- Selectable one-shot or repeat operating modes
- Selectable initial relay state: normally on or normally off
- SPDT Form C relay contacts
- LED indication of relay state
- Thumbwheel adjustment for straightforward setup
Flexible Timing and Trigger Control
The ELK-960 can activate once for each trigger in one-shot mode or repeat its timing cycle when configured for continuous operation. A jumper changes the adjustable range from seconds to minutes, making the module suitable for both short activation periods and longer timed functions.
Positive or negative trigger selection provides flexibility when integrating the module with compatible alarm panels, access-control equipment and other control devices. The relay can also be configured to begin in an on or off state to suit the application.
