NewTrend · Digital multifunction timer relay
Product overview
NewTrend RT8-X1 is a digital time relay with 20 selectable operating modes and a 0.1-second to 99-day timing range. Pushbuttons set the mode, time base and delay values, while the display shows the timing state. The 1 SPDT output is rated 16A AC-1. Power-on timing, S-input timing, cycling, latching and permanent ON/OFF modes support varied control sequences.
