The Omron H3CA-8 solid state timer is a versatile and reliable component designed for precision time control in a wide range of industrial applications. This compact digital timer offers a broad timing range from 0.1 seconds to 9,990 hours, catering to diverse operational needs. With eight field-selectable operation modes, including ON-delay, Repeat cycle, Signal Interval/OFF-delay, and more, it provides flexibility to suit various timing sequences.

The H3CA-8 model features a dual pole double throw (DPDT) contact type, allowing for the control of two separate circuits within one unit. It is designed for easy integration into systems with its 8-pin round socket connection, ensuring a secure and stable installation. The timer operates with a supply voltage of 100/110/120 V AC at 50/60 Hz, making it suitable for a wide range of power supply standards.

The unit is equipped with an LCD that displays the time remaining and output status, enhancing the user interface and simplifying monitoring. Its plastic case is designed for durability, and the timer can be mounted on a panel, track, or surface, providing flexibility in placement.

Engineered for accuracy, the H3CA-8 boasts a repeat accuracy of ±0.3% plus 0.05 seconds, including variations due to voltage and temperature changes, ensuring consistent performance. The setting error is minimal at ±0.5% plus 0.05 seconds, contributing to the timer's reliability.

This timer is not only robust in design but also in operation, with a mechanical service life of 10 million operations minimum and an electrical service life of 100,000 operations at maximum ratings. It operates within an ambient temperature range of -10° to 55°C, making it suitable for a variety of environmental conditions.

The Omron H3CA-8 is an essential component for any industrial timing application where precision and reliability are paramount.
