Model EST

Electric Solenoid Timer

FEATURES

Input - 120 VAC 5A

Relay Power - 1.1 VA @ 24VAC

Low Voltage Power Supply - 24 VA @ 24VAC

Contact Closure - 3A @ 120VAC

120VAC Output - 3A

24VAC Output - 0.7A 

5A Fuse maximum

Intended for use with 24vac solenoid control valve

OPERATION

When backflow relief valve monitor switch is closed for the 

time delay, the output relay will trigger, activating alarm light 

and latching output relay. Output relay switches 120 VAC 

terminals (T1A, T1B), 24VAC terminals (T3A, T3B) and 

alarm contact terminals (T5, T7). Turn power off and back 

on to reset relay. To adjust time delay turn knob on timer. 

Factory set at 10 seconds to avoid nuisance alarms. To test 

alarm or check time delay, press and hold TEST switch until 

red light comes on. Green light on timer should light when 

TEST switch is pressed.

INSTALLATION

Connect 120 VAC input to terminals T10-T12. Connect 

backflow relief valve monitor switch to T8 and T9. Connect 

a normally closed solenoid shut off valve to T3B and T4. 

Connect a normally open solenoid shut off valve to T3A and 

T4. The ZW206 solenoid shut off valve will turn the water 

supply off when the alarm triggers. Terminals T5 - T7 can 

be connected to an external alarm panel. T1A and T2 can 

be used to power an external high voltage alarm. 

OUTPUT

The 120VAC at T1A and T2 is normally open and will 

power an external alarm when the relay latches. The 24 

VAC output can be used with a normally open or nor-

mally closed solenoid valve to turn off the water to the 

backflow.

A normally open valve will provide water during a power 

failure. A normally closed valve will turn the water OFF 

during a power failure. ZURN WILKINS recommends a 24 

volt AC solenoid, but a 120 volt AC solenoid can be used 

on terminals T2 and T1A or T1B.

ADJUSTMENT

The time delay is factory set for a range of 1 to 10 seconds. 

The adjustment dial on top of the timer can be used to 

adjust this delay. Do not remove timer from socket while 

power is on.

WARNING! 

A solenoid shutoff valve should not be installed on a 

system that must be supplied with water at all times (i.e. 

hospital, processing plant, etc.)  If water must remain on 

during a power failure, a normally open solenoid valve 

should be ordered.

If the downstream piping is above the backflow preventer, 

then a failed 2

nd

 check could cause relief valve discharge 

to continue draining a system after the supply is off. For 

systems with large amounts of water, like a high-rise build-

ing, a single check should be installed after the backflow.
