The GIC 2A8DT6 is a high-precision multi-function timer that supports both signal start and supply start operations. Designed to offer versatility and reliability, this timer operates on a wide supply voltage range of 24–240 VAC/DC and accepts up to ±20% variation, making it compatible with most control panel environments. The timer includes two relay outputs: one delayed C/O contact and one configurable C/O that can be used as either delayed or instantaneous. This configuration provides enhanced control for custom logic circuits in automation systems.
The 2A8DT6 Timer features a contact rating of 5A @ 250 VAC / 28 VDC (resistive) and ensures long-term performance with an electrical life of 1×10⁵ operations and an outstanding mechanical life of 1×10⁷ operations. It achieves ±1% repeat accuracy, ±5% setting accuracy, and a quick reset time of 200 ms max. The flame-retardant UL94-V0 enclosure offers IP20 protection for terminals and IP40 protection for the enclosure. LED indicators provide real-time status for power (green) and relay (red), simplifying monitoring. The device is housed in a compact 22.5 x 75 x 100.5 mm body, weighs only 153g, and supports both DIN rail and base mounting, making it easy to integrate into space-constrained cabinets. With operating support up to 2000 meters altitude and 95% humidity, the GIC 2A8DT6 stands up to rugged industrial conditions.
Electrical engineers and panel designers prefer this timer for applications that require high accuracy and customizable output behavior. From material handling systems and HVAC sequencing to lighting control and pump switching, the timer supports broad timing configurations while maintaining consistent performance. The compact build, long operational life, and easy-to-read LED indicators contribute to fast setup and simplified troubleshooting on the shop floor.
With robust switching capacity, industrial-grade protection, and flexible configuration, the GIC 2A8DT6 Timer remains a trusted choice across automation panels using model 2A8DT6 for reliable, precise delay-based control.
