How to wire Dayton Off Delay Timer

Dayton off delay timer
Dayton manufacturing in Niles Illinois is owned by WW Grainger
Push button that triggers Dayton tining cycle can be any switch or timer
Activate push-button switch momentarily
Push-button is like a doorbell button, except rated for 120Volts
Push button activates Dayton timer
Dayton timer turns ON circuit going to load and begins countdown
Circuit stays On until countdown is finished
Countdown time is 'delay' time
When Dayton timer reaches end of countdown, it turns off circuit going to Load

The Load (motor, lights, fan) that is controlled by this timer cannot exceed 1 amp.

Figure amps for Load:
Volts x Amps = Watts
Amps = Watts ÷ Volts
200 Watts ÷120 Volts = 1.66 Amps
100 Watts ÷120 Volts = .83 Amps
Dayton can directly control 1 - 100 Watt bulb

If your Load is greater than 1 amp, you need a contactor or relay. The contactor must have 120 Volt coil.
 Dayton Off Delay timer can safely contol 30 watt 1/4 amp Load from contactor coil
Use contactor to turn on larger load

Load wires coming from Dayton timer connect to terminals on sides of contactor.
One wire connects to one side. Other wire connects to other side.
Contactor has a electromagnet coil that pulls contacts together, and Load turns ON
Load is ON for duration of countdown.
When countdown ends, electromagnet turns OFF and spring pulls contacts apart.

Typical pin timer bases

Pin timers install on base.
Each pin connects to terminal screw.
Each terminal screw is independently wired
Wiring diagram shows on side of timer.

Connect power leads to terminals 2 and 7.
Other terminals are dry and receive no power when voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 7.
Power going to load connects to terminals 1 and 8.
Load wires connect to terminal 3 4 5 6
Terminal 8 feeds into terminals 5 and 6.
When timer is OFF, power flows continuously from terminal 8 to terminal 5. When timer is ON power flows from terminal 8 to terminal 6.

Paragon momentary timers

"Momentary sends a short electrical pulse to latch a relay into the ON position. The timer transmits another short electrical pulse to unlatch a relay into the OFF position. Momentary is most often used with a latching contactor for lighting control. Paragon time controls with momentary are featured in Quad Controls, Tri-Timers and 24-Hour Timers."

Shown is example of momentary timer
Paragon EL7200

Momentary times: duration of 1 second

Momentary timers can be used as a push button activation for Dayton time-delay timer -or- as a different way to accomplish same task as Dayton timer when used with a latching relay

ICM 201 ON delay timer:
Input wire connects to terminal 3
Wire to output connects to terminal 1

When voltage is applied to terminal 3, the delay count begins.

When count ends, the circuit between 3 and 1 is closed and voltage flows through timer to the contactor coil.

Set the delay time from .03 minutes to 10 minutes.

To install: cut Y wire from thermostat.
End from thermostat connects to terminal 3.
End going to contactor Load connects to terminal 1.

On delay contactor block
LADT2 on delay timer           
Larger image
On delay timers are designed to delay start time.
Once the LADT2 timer block activates, the countdown begins.
When countdown ends, the timer's internal relay activates.
When LADT2 relay activates, the NO normally-open contact closes, and NC normally-closed contact opens.
For example, when circuit is 'closed' then power travels across terminals and light bulb turns ON.
When circuit is open, the light bulb is OFF.
NO and NC contacts give two different wiring choices.
LADT contacts are 'dry,' and have no power until Hot wire is added to either the NO or NC terminal.
Contact block attaches to contactor.
When contactor activates, that action activates the LADT2 countdown. LADT series are pneumatic timer attachments.
LADT timer is activated by mechanical action of contactor, instead of electric current.
Adding timer block, allows the contactor to control additional circuit with time delay. So a second process can begin or stop shortly after contactor activates.
