Figure 3 Timer Power and Initiate Circuit Connections
Connecting Remote
Potentiometer Type RTCR Timing Relays are designed for use with an external potentiometer
(400K ohms maximum resistance). Recommended potentiometers and
required connecting cables are listed below.
➊ 1 operator only - suitable for 400K ohm potentiometer.
Connection Cable – Use shielded twisted pair cable, maximum of 50 feet.
Recommended cable (or equivalent): UL Style 2517, having two #18 stranded
conductors with aluminum mylar foil shield and #20 drain wire rated 105_C
(221_F), FR–1, 300V.
In the connection drawing (See Figure 4 on page 6), note that the shield is
connected to the terminal marked “Shield” at one end and is insulated and not
connected at the other end. The L2 terminal should be grounded at the power
source.
