The timer will have terminals associated with it. They may be on a relay socket that the relay plugs into. There will be two terminals used to bring the supply voltage to the relay timer. The load will be connected in series to either an open or closed set of contacts on the relay. The load voltage is controlled by the timer relay.

The operation is, when the timer relay coil is energized the timing circuit in the relay is energized. This starts counting down until the time set point is reached and then the contacts either open or close depending on what set of contacts that you connected the load to.


Some timer relays need to have the timer coil circuit de energized to reset the timing relay, others use a separate input voltage terminal on the relay to reset it without having to de energize the whole relay.

How do you wire an immersion timer switch?

To wire an immersion timer switch, first, ensure the power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker. Connect the live wire (usually brown) from the power supply to the input terminal of the timer switch, then connect the output terminal of the timer to the live wire leading to the immersion heater. Connect the neutral wire (usually blue) directly to the immersion heater. Finally, secure all connections and restore power to test the timer functionality. Always follow local electrical codes and consider hiring a qualified electrician if unsure.


How do you wire an outdoor timer into a GFCI outlet?

I assume you are hard wiring it and not plugging it in. The power coming into the GFCI outlet connects to the line side of the GFCI outlet. If you want the outdoor timer protected by the GFCI then connect the wire going to the timer to the load side of the outlet. If you do not want the timer protected then connect it to the line side. On the back of the GFCI if you look closely you will see Line & Load marked on the back.


What would happened if you wired a 240v ballast and a 120 v ballast into a heavy duty timer?

The timer has to be multi-pole. The ballast must be connected to the load contacts of the timer. If the timer is a 120 Volt timer, the timer has to run on a 120V. circuit. Loads are loads, and as long as you have a multi-load timer you can hook up whatever you want. If the timer only works on a shared power source (load shares the timer supply) you will need to use a contactor on the load side or the timer.

Why is a timer is used in an electrical circuit?

Timer relays are used in control circuitry. There are two main types, an (off delay) and an (on delay). If you want one device to turn off before the timer controlled device then you would use an off delay timer. If you want one device to turn on before the timer controlled device then you would use an on delay timer. When the timer is energized this starts the timer circuit in the relay to time out.


What is ON delay and OFF delay timer?

with an ON delay timer once the power has been appied to the timer unit, the timer contacts will change state-open/close after a preset time (for example A&B timers are adjustable anywhere from 0.05 seconds to 300 Hours) with a OFF delay these contacts change state after the power to the unit has been removed then the preset time will time out (this count dosen't start until the power is removed


How does an off delay timer work?

when off delay timer gets control signal, its NO(NORMALLY OPEN) contact become NC(NORMALLY CLOSED) for preset duration, and then become NO.

How do you connect timer white and black house wire with red black and white wires?

House wire is "line" Black & White house goes to Black & White of Timer; the "load" (e.g. Pond Pump, etc.) is connected to the Red & White. Specifically, put all 3 whites together (nut or terminal); House (source)(line) Black to Timer Black; and "load" Black to Timer Red. The Red wire is the "Timed" (switched) hot wire.

A red flashing light on the Hoover Nextra Optima washing machine when the start delay timer is set might mean that the timer itself is not operational. Run the washer on the regular cycle, and if it works fine, it is the delay timer.


How do you wire timer to 3 parallel switches?

To wire a timer to 3 parallel switches, connect the hot wire from the power source to the common terminal of each switch. Then connect the traveler wires from each switch to the timer input terminal. Finally, connect the load wire from the timer output terminal to the fixture being controlled. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific timer model.
