Definite Time Delay Relay
Type VTT
with cover removed
Features
l Consistent accuracy.
l Reliability.
l Low burden.
l Reduced maintenance.
l Immunity to transients and
surges; withstands 5 KV impulse
voltage test.
l Relays with heavy-duty magnetic
blow-out contacts also available.
Application
Type VTT static time delay relay is
particularly suitable for applications
requiring large number of
operations and consistent accuracy
with little or no maintenance over
long periods. It is also commonly
used in industrial processes.
Description
A stabilised voltage is applied to a
resistance/capacitance circuit. The
potential developed across the
capcitor is applied to a transistor
switching circuit which, in turn,
operates an attracted armature relay
when the potential reaches the
trigger level.
The time delay is varied by altering
the resistance value in the
resistance/capacitance circuit by a
potentiometer calibrated in seconds.
A circuit is incorporated to protect
the transistors from damage due to
high peak transients in the supply
voltage. A diode is also fitted in the
circuitry to take care of inadvertent
connection of supply with reversed
polarity.
Type VTT 11 units have a delayed
pick-up, i.e., timing is started by
closing an initiating contact and the
output relay is energised at the end
of the set time. The unit resets when
the initiating contact is reopened.
Type VTT 12 units have a delayed
drop-off, i.e., the output relay is
normally energised. Timing is
started by opening an initiating
contact and the output relay is
deenergised at the end of the set
time. The unit resets when the
initiating contact is reclosed.
Technical data
Voltage ratings
DC supply
30, 110 or 220V. Satisfactory
operation is maintained between
70% and 130% of rated voltage.
Units for use on 110 or 220V are
supplied with a suitable external
resistor.
AC supply
110, 240 or 415V at 50 Hz. Relays
suitable for operation from ac
supply have a built-in power pack.
Satisfactory operation is maintained
between 80% and 115% of rated
voltage.
