prise a capacitive load, the SSR dielectric strength should be two or more
times the power voltage when switching the timer power using an SSR.
Temperature and Humidity
Use the timer within the operating temperature and operating humidity Generally, it is desirable to use mechanical contacts whenever possible to

type).
Environment
Avoid contact between the timer and sulfurous or ammonia gases, organic
solvents (alcohol, benzine, thinner, etc.), strong alkaline substances, or strong
acids. Do not use the timer in an environment where such substances are
prevalent. Do not allow water to run or splash on the timer.

Vibration and Shock

Excessive vibration or shocks can cause the output contacts to bounce, the timer
should be used only within the operating extremes for vibration and shock resis-
tance. In applications with significant vibration or shock, use of hold down
G springs or clips is recommended to secure a timer to its socket.

Timing Accuracy Formulas

Timing accuracies are calculated from the following formulas:

Repeat Error = ± 1 x Maximum Measured Value – Minimum Measured Value x 100%

2 Maximum Scale Value

Voltage Error
= ± Tv - Tr x 100%
Tr

Tv: Average of measured values at voltage V

Tr: Average of measured values at the rated voltage

Temperature Error
= ± Tt - T20 x 100%
T20

Tt: Average of measured values at °C

T20: Average of measured values at 20°C

Setting Error = ± Average of Measured Values - Set Value x 100%
