With their structural form and their width of 17.5 mm only, the CT‑D range timers are ideally suited for
f  Circuit diagram installation in distribution cabinets.
Multifunction timers are ideally suited for service and maintenance applications, because one device can
g  Function diagram replace a number of time relays with different functions, voltage and time ranges. This reduces inventory
and saves money.

Operating mode
The CT‑MFD.12 has 1 c/o contact and provides 7 timing functions. The function is rotary switch selecta‑
ble on the front of the unit. Each function is indicated by an international function symbol.
One of 7 time delay ranges, from 0.05 s to 100 h, can be selected with another rotary switch. The fine
adjustment of the time delay is made via an internal potentiometer, with a direct reading scale, on the
front of the unit.

Function diagram(s)
A  ON‑delay
This function requires continuous control supply voltage for timing.
Timing begins when control supply voltage is applied. The green LED flashes during timing. When the
selected time delay is complete, the output relay energizes and the flashing green LED turns steady.
If control supply voltage is interrupted, the output relay de‑energizes and the time delay is reset.
Control input A1‑Y1/B1 is disabled when this function is selected.

B  OFF‑delay with auxiliary voltage

This function requires continuous control supply voltage for timing.
If control input A1‑Y1/B1 is closed, the output relay energizes immediately. If control input A1‑Y1/B1
is opened, the time delay starts. The green LED flashes during timing. When the selected time delay is
complete, the output relay de‑energizes and the flashing green LED turns steady.
If control input A1‑Y1/B1 recloses before the time delay is complete, the time delay is reset and the out‑
put relay does not change state. Timing starts again when control input A1‑Y1/B1 re‑opens. If control
supply voltage is interrupted, the output relay de‑energizes and the time delay is reset.

CB  Impulse‑OFF with auxiliary voltage

This function requires continuous control supply voltage for timing.
If control supply voltage is applied, opening control input A1‑Y1/B1 energizes the output relay immedi‑
ately and starts timing. The green LED flashes during timing. When the selected pulse time is complete,
the output relay de‑energizes and the flashing green LED turns steady.
Closing control input A1‑Y1/B1, before the time delay is complete, de‑energizes the output relay and
resets the time delay.
If control supply voltage is interrupted, the output relay de‑energizes and the time delay is reset.

CA  Impulse‑ON
This function requires continuous control supply voltage for timing.
The output relay energizes immediately when control supply voltage is applied and de‑energizes after the
set pulse time is complete. The green LED flashes during timing. When the selected pulse time is com‑
plete, the flashing green LED turns steady.
If control supply voltage is interrupted, the output relay de‑energizes and the time delay is reset.

DA  Flasher, starting with ON

Applying control supply voltage starts timing with symmetrical ON & OFF times. The cycle starts with an
ON time first. The ON & OFF times are displayed by the flashing green LED, which flashes twice as fast
during the OFF time.
If control supply voltage is interrupted, the output relay de‑energizes and the time delay is reset.
Control input A1‑Y1/B1 is disabled when this function is selected.

H  Pulse former
This function requires continuous control supply voltage for timing.
Closing control input A1‑Y1/B1 energizes the output relay immediately and starts timing. Operating the
control contact switch A1‑Y1/B1 during the time delay has no effect. The green LED flashes during tim‑
ing. When the selected ON time is complete, the output relay de‑energizes and the flashing green LED
turns steady. After the ON time is complete, it can be restarted by closing control input A1‑Y1/B1.
If control supply voltage is interrupted, the output relay de‑energizes and the time delay is reset.
