Gizmo Engineering T5 Digital Timer
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION TIMER (T5)
The Gizmo Engineering T5 Digital Timer is built for industrial automation, connecting seamlessly to switches for streamlined operations. It can be programmed for up to 99 minutes or hours using the two blue side buttons (if included) or via interior DIP switches for models without external controls.
In its default mode, the green button starts and stops the timer. When the countdown reaches zero, the timer begins counting the overrun, showing how long the alarm has been active. Pressing the green button again cancels the alarm. For details on the 12 available timer modes, refer to the modes tab.

Specifications
The T5 timer offers multiple modes selectable via internal switches:
Mode 1 (default): Counts down from the set time. The cycle can be canceled by holding the start button. If the time is set to zero, it counts up.
Mode 2: Similar to Mode 1 but does not allow cancellation.
Mode 3: The time cycle is triggered mechanically with a contact close (such as a proximity switch) that stays closed throughout the countdown.
Mode 4: Allows pausing and restarting the cycle until the accumulated time reaches the set value.
Mode 5: Automatically stops at the end of the cycle.
Mode 6: Provides an early warning on the beacon LED.
Mode 7: Guard duty mode, which requires the start button to be pressed continuously or else an alarm sounds (the cycle repeats indefinitely).
Mode 8: Designed for spray rinses in plating operations.
Mode 9: A machine run-time countdown.
Mode 10: Functions as an on-delay.
Mode 11: Configured for repeat cycles.
Mode 12: Provides an off-delay for the relay.
