Timers slim for panel mounting
The CT-D range of compact microprocessor-controlled electronic timers are just 17.5mm, making them ideal for fitting in control panels and distribution boards.
The CT-D range of compact microprocessor-controlled electronic timers are just 17.5mm, making them ideal for fitting in control panels and distribution boards ABB's new generation CT-D electronic timer has been developed to offer the main features of the well established CT-E and CT-S multifunction and single-function timers in a compact, cost-effective package

Power distribution system gets new surge arrester
A new surge arrester offers protection against the massive, transient overvoltages believed to be responsible for over 30 per cent of all damage to electronic equipment.
The use of microprocessor control has enabled the CT-D to be condensed into a module just 17.5mm wide, which is ideal for fitting in control panels and distribution boards.
In addition, the reduction in the number of discrete components makes the CT-D both reliable and competitively priced.
The CT-D range comprises one multifunction and six single-function timers.
All standard control voltages from 24 to 240V AC and 24 to 48V DC can be connected to the terminals A1-A2 and one changeover contact (250V/8A) is provided.
Seven time ranges can be selected, from 0.05s to 100h, while a potentiometer with a direct reading scale allows direct setting of the delay time on the timer relay for fast, easy installation.
LEDs on the front panel indicate the operational status of the CT-D and wide terminal spacing allows connection of two 1.5mm2 (16AWG) wires with ferrules or two 2.5mm2 (14AWG) wires without ferrules.
Parallel load to the control contact is possible.
A manual setting tool is available as an option.
