Control Switch Jumpered on TD-7 Digital-Set Time Delay Relay
 
Issue
What happens if I put a jumper across the control switch terminals (Pins 5 & 6) on the TD-7 Digital-Set time delay relay, but I have the function set to On Delay, which doesn't need a Control Switch to initiate it? Will the unit operate satisfactorily?
 
Solution/Resolution
No control switch is required when the unit is set to On Delay, Interval On or Flasher.  However, if for some reason Pins 5 & 6 have been jumpered before Input Voltage is applied, the unit will operate without any problems.  The software program is written to ignore Pins 5 & 6 when either of these three functions are selected using the first pushbutton-thumbwheel.  Of course, when in either the Off Delay or Single Shot mode, a dry contact control switch must be connected to Pins 5 & 6 to initiate the function.  Click here for additional information on understanding time delay functions.
