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.

|---|---|---|
| ATE8-41□ | 1 s | 0.1 to 1 s |
| 10 s | 1 to 10 s | |
| 1 min | 0.1 to 1 min | |
| 10 min | 1 to 10 min | |
| 1 h | 0.1 to 1 h | |
| ATE8-43□ | 3 s | 0.3 to 3 s |
| 30 s | 3 to 30 s | |
| 3 min | 0.3 to 3 min | |
| 30 min | 3 to 30 min | |
| 3 h | 0.3 to 3 h | |
| 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 | |
| 24 min | 2.4 to 24 min | |
| 12 h | 1.2 to 12 h | |
| 24 h | 2.4 to 24 h |
Note: Each model includes five predefined time ranges. The desired range is selected using the Time Range Setting Switch, and the exact delay time is then adjusted within that range using the front-panel analog dial.
