Why the Industrial Production Timer (T5) is a Game-Changer for Manufacturing Automation

Introduction to the Industrial Production Timer (T5)

In the fast-paced world of industrial manufacturing, timing is everything. Whether you need precise control over production cycles or reliable automation for your processes, the Industrial Production Timer (T5) is designed to meet your needs. Built to withstand the harshest environments, this waterproof, corrosion-resistant timer is more than just a tool—it’s a game-changer for industrial automation.

Key Features of the T5 Industrial Production Timer

The T5 Industrial Production Timer is engineered for durability. With a waterproof and corrosion-proof enclosure, this timer is built to withstand the most challenging industrial environments, including those exposed to acid fumes, caustic chemicals, and regular washdowns. Its IP65-rated enclosure ensures that it remains operational even in wet and corrosive settings, making it perfect for production floors, outdoor applications, and industries like plating, where exposure to harsh

High-Performance Timing Capabilities

This timer is not just tough—it’s smart. The T5 model comes equipped with a variety of operating modes, each tailored to specific industrial needs:

Mode 1 (Default): Counts down from a set time, with the option to cancel the cycle by holding the start button. If time is set to zero, it counts up instead.
Mode 2: Similar to Mode 1, but cancellation is not allowed, ensuring the cycle runs to completion.
Mode 3: Starts the time cycle mechanically with a contact close, perfect for integrating with proximity switches in automated systems.
Mode 4: Allows for pausing and restarting the cycle, ideal for processes that require accumulation of time.
Mode 5: Automatically stops the timer at the end of the cycle, a simple and effective mode for many applications.
Mode 6: Includes an early warning alert on the beacon LED, providing a visual cue before the cycle ends.
Mode 7: Functions as a guard duty mode, requiring continuous pressing of the start button to avoid an alarm, which repeats indefinitely.
Mode 8: Specifically designed for spray rinse operations in plating, providing precise control over timing.
Mode 9: A machine run-time countdown mode, ensuring that equipment operates for the exact duration needed.
Mode 10: On-delay function, delaying the start of a cycle after activation.
Mode 11: Repeat cycle mode, perfect for repetitive operations that require consistent timing intervals.
Mode 12: Off-delay for the relay, extending control even after the timer stops.

Ease of Use and Versatility

One of the standout features of the T5 timer is its simplicity. Designed to be as easy to use as a kitchen timer, the T5 can be activated manually with the push of a button or connected to machinery for automatic start and stop functionality. The compact 5 x 5-inch enclosure houses a high current capacity 15A relay output, allowing you to automate processes with minimal setup.

For added convenience, the timer’s time settings can be easily adjusted using external blue buttons. For environments where operator control needs to be restricted, the T5X model offers the same functionality but with internal buttons only, preventing unauthorized time adjustments.

Applications of the T5 Industrial Production Timer

Automating Manufacturing Processes

The T5 Industrial Production Timer is designed for seamless integration with factory automation systems. Whether you need to automate the start and stop of machinery or ensure precise timing in your production cycles, the T5 timer can handle it. Its high current capacity relay output allows it to control other devices simply by plugging them into the piggyback cord.

Ideal for Metal Finishing Operations

In plating operations, timing is critical. The T5 timer is especially suited for controlling the time a rack stays in plating tanks, ensuring that each cycle is completed precisely as required. The waterproof and corrosion-resistant design of the T5 makes it the ideal choice for harsh plating environments, where exposure to chemicals and moisture is a constant challenge.

Customizable Alerts and Alarms

The T5 timer features a loud 103dB warbling tone, designed to cut through the loudest industrial noise, ensuring that operators are alerted as soon as a cycle is complete. The timer also includes a flashing red beacon LED, providing a visual alert in noisy environments where an audible alarm might go unnoticed.
