If you're in the market for an industrial timer, you may or may not know that there are many subcategories to choose from when making a selection. You've got digital, single-function, multi-function, totalizing, reset, repeat, programmable, percent, and Cam module timers.
Some might find themselves asking, what do all of these mean? To help guide you in the right direction, we suggest asking yourself a few questions to get started. Are you looking for something compact, or does the size of it not matter? Do you need this timer to have an alarm or some other pre-programmed function? Knowing the basic functions of the timer will help guide you into the right category whether it is electro-mechanical, electronic, manual, etc.
For today's feature, we are going to highlight the BRE Series Timer which is a "Reset Timer" manufactured by Eagle Signal. Eagle Signal is a trusted brand and reliable source for electro-mechanical products for over 70 years and if you have ever used one of their products, you know why!
The BRE Series reset timer is a great option if you're looking for a reliable and durable reset timer. These units are micro-processor driven and provide an accurate and adjustable time delay between the actuation of the control circuit and the operation of the load switches. They feature an enclosed construction with a front facing dial and knob. What's great about that is it provides durability while being easily accessible. Also on the front of the unit is a heavy duty terminal block with 9 screw terminals. These terminals will readily accept 16-gauge wire (commonly used in industrial circuit wiring).
The case of the BRE Series timer is injection molded Lexan®. Lexan® material is recognized by Underwriters Laboratories (also known as "UL Recognized") for use as the sole support of current carrying components. This material is self-extinguishing and has not only a high impact strength, but high dimensional stability as well. The BRE series units are also FM Approved.
Some additional highlights for this reset timer are its easy install and set up process and many time ranges available - 12 to be exact - that range from 5 seconds to 10 hours. The BRE has two voltage/frequency options available (120V AC or 240V AC), features on-delay and off-delay models, and is available in standard timing or reverse timing.
