NewTrend · Asymmetric cycler timer relay
Product overview
NewTrend RT8-S1 provides repeated ON/OFF cycles with independently adjustable t1 and t2 intervals. An external jumper between S and A1 selects a cycle beginning with a pulse or a pause. The 18mm DIN-rail housing has 1 SPDT output contacts and separate supply and output indicators. Choose AC/DC 12-240V (W240) or AC 230V (A230) control supply.

Set t1 and t2 independently. Interval = marked range x fine-adjustment percentage. Without the A1-S jumper, cycling begins with a pulse; with the jumper, cycling begins with a pause. Isolate power before wiring; installation must be performed by qualified electricians.
