Delay Timer

ELK-960

APPLICATION:

The ELK-960 is an economical and flexible solution 

for many general-purpose time delay applications. 

The unit operates on 12 to 24 Volts D.C. and can be 

selected for positive or negative trigger logic. Setup 

is easy with thumb wheel adjustment between 1 and 

60 seconds, a quick jumper setting converts the time 

from seconds to minutes. The timer can be configured 

to activate once for each trigger, or pulse as soon as 

power is applied.

TERMINAL DESCRIPTIONS

 

Positive power input. Connect a +12 to +24 Volts  

 

D.C. source.  Warning: Do not 24 Volts  

 

D.C., Damage will occur.

 

Negative power (ground) input. Connect to a  

 

negative or ground terminal of the power source.

TGR  

Trigger voltage input.  Connect a 4.5 to 24VDC  

 

trigger source. Place jumper JP5 (TRIGGER  

 

POLARITY) in the "+" position to trigger from a  

 

positive voltage or in the "-" position to trigger  

 

from a negative. The trigger voltage may be 4.5  

 

to 24VDC, regardless of the main powered input  

 

(12VDC to 24VDC).

N/O  

Normally Open side of the relay contacts. No  

 

connection to COM when the relay is off.

COM  

Common or "pole" side of the relay contacts.  

 

When the relay is off, COM is internally connected  

 

with the N/C contact. When the relay is on, COM is  

 

internally connected with the N/O contact.

N/C  

Normally Closed side of the relay contacts. This  

 

terminal is internally connected with the COM  

 

terminal when the relay is off.

NOTE: The ELK-960 automatically triggers (turns on) and runs through 

a delay cycle when first powered up.  To reduce waiting time and 

speed up installation, set jumper JP1 to SEConds and adjust R3 to 1 

before applying power.   Once power is applied, change the settings 

as required.

SETTINGS AND JUMPER DESCRIPTIONS

R3

This knob is used to increase or decrease the delay time 

from 1 to 60. Full clockwise is 1, halfway is 30, full counter-

clockwise is 60. The arrow is a reference point.

JP1 SEC = Delay time in seconds. Adjustable from 1 ~ 60.

1

MIN = Delay time in minutes. Adjustable from 1 ~ 60.

1

JP2 REPEAT = Adjustable pulse)  Relay cycles ON / OFF at 

delay time interval using a 50/50 duty cycle.

2

  

A trigger input will temporarily stop the cycle. 

1-SHOT = Relay activates only once per trigger.

JP3 END = 

Relay turns off when triggered and back on 

when delay time expires.

BEGIN = Relay turns on when triggered and back off 

when delay time expires.

JP4 A = Delay time starts when trigger is removed.

B = Delay time starts when trigger is first applied.

JP5 + = Selects positive polarity for the input trigger.

- = Selects negative polarity for the input trigger.

 

1

   Times are approximate.  When adjusted to the highest setting  (60  

  minutes) the actual time delay will be slightly greater.  

HINT: For a delay time in minutes, adjust and test with jumper 

JP1 in the SEConds position.  (I.E.: For a 15 minute delay, adjust 

and test to 15 seconds)  Then move jumper JP1 to MINutes.  This 

quickly provides a reasonable equivalent delay time in minutes.

 

2

    A 50/50 duty cycle means the OFF and ON times will be equal.

OVERVIEW

The ELK-960 features adjustable delay time of one (1) second 

to approximately sixty (60) minutes. It can be operated by 

12 to 24 volts D.C. and can be triggered by a negative (-) 

or positive (+) voltage. The operating mode and the relay 

condition can be set as follows: BEGIN- Relay turns on when 

triggered and back off when delay time expires. END- Relay 

turns off when triggered and back on when delay time 

expires. The delay time can start when the trigger is first 

applied (B mode) or when the trigger is removed (A mode). 

The ELK-960 relay can be set to provide a single 1-SHOT 

output or to REPEAT (pulse on and off). All options are 

selected using easy to change mini-jumpers.
