TDR-M (Plug-in Time Delay Relay)

The TDR-M briefl y delays power to the output during utility start-ups (after an outage has
occurred). With the easily accessible potentiometer, you can vary the delay time between 10
and 60 seconds.

TDR-M Installation Procedure:

Remove the single SEMS screw from the text side of the TDR-M (if installed).

Place the tab on the TDR-M into the upper slot (adjacent to the capacitor).

Slide the TDR-M toward the left side until fl ush with the left fl ange on the APX. Align the
slot in the fl ange with the screw hole in the TDR-M.

Replace and tighten the screw.

Disconnect the shorting plug from the 3-pin connector. Save the shorting plug; if the TDR-
M is removed, it must be reinstalled. Plug the 3-pin connector into its mating connector
on the TDR-M.

Connect a true reading RMS digital multimeter to the output of the APX. Apply power to
the APX and adjust the potentiometer for the desired output delay time using the digital
multimeter.
