Description
Autonics ATE8 Series Analog Timers
The Autonics ATE8 Series consists of Power ON Delay analog timers designed for panel-mounted industrial control applications. The series features a 48 × 48 mm DIN-standard housing, analog dial time adjustment, multiple selectable time ranges depending on the model, and relay output configurations to suit different control requirements. A wide power supply range of 100–240 VAC (50/60 Hz) or 24–240 VDC allows the timers to be used in a variety of industrial automation systems.
Main Features
- Power ON Delay timing function with Power ON Start operation.
- Front-panel analog dial for time adjustment.
- Five selectable time ranges per model, with available settings from 0.1 second to 24 hours depending on the selected model.
- Three relay contact configurations, including time-limit and instantaneous output options.
- Dedicated Power and Output indicators for operating-status monitoring.
- Standard DIN 48 × 48 mm panel-mount format.
- Wide power supply range of 100–240 VAC (50/60 Hz) or 24–240 VDC.

| ATE8-46□ | 6 s | 0.6 to 6 s |
| 60 s | 6 to 60 s | |
| 6 min | 0.6 to 6 min | |
| 60 min | 6 to 60 min | |
| 6 h | 0.6 to 6 h | |
| ATE8-4C□ | 12 s | 1.2 to 12 s |
| 12 min | 1.2 to 12 min | |
