HP56A601

Product Description:

The HP56A601 timer from <\> is part of the company’s Timers and Controllers group, built to handle timing and counting for industrial jobs that need sturdy gear. The 6-digit display on front gives a clear readout, so checking counts goes quick. It runs on 115 VAC or 230 VAC, which is handy, and handles ±10 V on voltage swings, so feed power doesn't have to be perfect. Drawing 6 W to stay efficient, this unit shows its stuff with a count speed of 1000 counts per minute, keeping things snappy on fast-moving lines.

Any job that relies on steady counting or precise resets can make use of this timer, since there’s both manual rotary and lock and key options for resets. The frame and covers are cut from Zamak, which is heavier than plastic, doesn’t ding easy, and stays put on a panel. Physical specs land on 1 lb 4 oz (567 g) total weight, and there’s a clean lead exit on the bottom with #22 AWG wire at 7.5 inches in length — makes mounting and wiring less of a puzzle. On the display, each digit measures 0.188 in H x 0.156 in W, easy to see if the timer’s going on a busy panel. The timer manages minimum on/off times at 30 ms, which works for quick process resets or flashing indicator signals in automated tasks.

Setup is straightforward: lead slips out the bottom for the panel mount, and bobbin uses nylon for extra electrical peace of mind. Suitability stretches into industrial automation, conveyor counters, factories, or packaging where miscounts slow things down. Allowed variance in supply, fast count rate, and a solid case give the HP56A601 timer real endurance for long shifts.
