Product Description:

The CG912A3 timing relay is produced by Danaher and is offered in the Timers and Controllers series. As a plug-in electronic timer, it inserts programmed delays into control circuits so that conveyors, solenoids, or contactors energize only after a selected waiting period. Its primary role in automation panels is to coordinate sequential operations without requiring additional PLC logic. The compact octal base footprint simplifies installation and removal, while the front dial provides immediate visual confirmation of the selected delay setting. This arrangement is suitable for control panels where timing changes must be made directly at the device.

The delay is set with a knob with a calibrated scale, allowing the required interval to be selected without separate test equipment. The control section operates on 120 VAC, so the unit can be powered directly from standard North American control transformers. Internal timing components operate with an incoming frequency of 50/60 Hz, allowing the timer to function with either common mains frequency. The operating logic uses on-delay operation with a standard start, which keeps the output contacts open until the preset interval has elapsed after power is applied. The adjustable delay extends up to 15 s, providing the short timing range needed for conveyor indexing, purge cycles, solenoid actuation, and controlled starting sequences.

As a single-function timer, the module uses one timing mode and does not require multi-mode selection jumpers. Its plug-in format allows the timer to be removed from its socket while the panel wiring remains connected to the base. Electrical connections are provided through an 8-pin octal base, which fits a commonly used socket style in industrial control panels and original equipment manufacturer machinery. All time settings are expressed in seconds, matching the short process delays used for material transfer, adhesive curing, air blow-off tasks, and brief machine sequencing. Using one time unit also makes the calibrated dial easier to read when an operating delay must be adjusted at the panel.
