When searching for an industrial timer, there are a handful of questions to ask yourself before making your selection. For instance, what type of industrial timer do you need? 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. In the case of today’s featured product, we are going to take a deep dive into Eagle Signal’s CX200 Series Electronic Timer/Counter:
The CX200 is a microprocessor-based timer/counter, which means it can perform both time and count operations. There are five time ranges offered from 19.999 seconds to 199 hours and 59 minutes. As for its counter function, the CX200 can accept and display counts from 1 to 19,999. These setpoints can be inputted by using the sealed membrane keypad located on the front of the unit. The setpoints are displayed in 0.5-inch numbers on its 4.5 digit LCD display. As for housing, the CX200 features a standard 15 terminal CYCL-FLEX® plug-in case. There are 7 miniature rocker switches located inside the unit housing that control the operations of time or count, time range, and standard or reverse start.
Now that we have covered the basic specs, let’s talk about the different CX200 units available. There are 6 different versions of the CX200 series, each featuring a different output type and voltage & frequency:
