Timer Style QTD4

Safety-Critical Slow-Release Timer (3 to 300 seconds)

All-In-One
The QTD4 timer is a safety-critical,
slow-release electronic timer that
directly drives an external slave
relay — all in a single plug-in Q relay
enclosure.

Safety Assured
Even under external or internal
component failure, the QTD4 never
extends the delay by more than 20% of
the set time.

Wide Range, Easy and

Accurate
Choose from 3 to 300 seconds in 4
ranges by using straps on the rear of the
plugboard. Then, for greater precision,
use the multi-turn potentiometer on the
Benefits front cover.
Ideal for safety-critical applications — release time cannot
extend by more than 20% SAFETY The safety-critical specification of this
product is not assured unless it is applied in
Slave relay powered from the QTD4 — no separate supply accordance with all the requirements of this
datasheet and maintained by Siemens.
