The E312/24V is a mains powered single-shot plant extension timer designed to control plant equipment such as heating, lighting or air-conditioning systems outside of normal occupancy hours.  Suitable for installation into a single-gang UK pattress/back box or a control panel, it provides a voltage-free changeover relay output capable of switching loads of up to 16A (4kW) which is activated for a selectable time period.

The E312/24V is extremely user-friendly with a single touch-sensitive pushbutton used to select the required extension between 1 and 6 hours (selectable in stages of 1 hour).  The plant extension timer has 6 LED indicators to indicate the remaining extension time period and a single LED to illustrate the status of the output relay.  The extension LEDs also have a very low level background illumination which enables the unit to be easily located and controlled in poorly lit areas.

A remote switch input feature is provided so the extension timer can be activated by a remotely located switch or other timer.  The E312/24V timer runs when the remote input contacts are closed or is paused when the contacts are open, thus enabling multiple E312/24V units to be linked together to add a delay before the extension period, or to provide activation from a remote location.

The E312/24V also provides the functionality to pre-set a maximum extension period via an internal thumbwheel to ensure that the end-user cannot select an extension period longer than the authorised user so desires.

24 Volt (/24V)
This extension timer is designed to operate from a 24 volt (AC or DC) power source (instead of the standard operating voltage of 230V AC). This is primarily used for safety or low-voltage systems.

Typical applications:

• Heating and lighting control
• HVAC equipment
• Fan control
• Immersion heaters
• Security lighting
• Community Centers
• Churches
• Schools
• Offices
• Hired sports courts and rooms
• Changing rooms
• Meeting rooms

Plant Extension Timer Variants:
230 Volt
Powered by 230 volt (AC or DC) supply.

The E312 is also available with the following extension time variations:
E312/1hr/24V – 10 to 60 minutes (adjustable in 10 minute steps)
E312/3hr/24V – 30 minutes to 3 hour (adjustable in 30 minute steps)
E312/12hr/24V – 2 to 12 hours  (adjustable in steps of 2 hours)
E312/24hr/24V – 4 to 24 hours  (adjustable in steps of 4 hours)
