Common Concerns Answered
I'm concerned about the initial setup complexity for advanced features.
While advanced features offer significant control, the Egis TDR Series utilizes top-side DIP switches for straightforward programming, and the manual provides detailed guidance for optimal configuration to overcome initial setup complexity.
Is it difficult to find the specific optional harnesses I might need?
While specific optional harnesses may have limited availability, the integral I/O Connector (Molex MX-150) and optional long wire leads facilitate robust and simplified installation for most common applications.
Is the initial cost higher than basic relays?
The Egis TDR Series may have a higher initial cost than basic relays, but its dual output capability, adjustable time delays, superior environmental protection (IP66/IP6K9K), and extended 4-year warranty provide significant long-term value and performance advantages over simpler solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Egis TDR Series Dual Output Time Delay Relay prevent dead batteries?
It prevents dead batteries by intelligently controlling the power supply to auxiliary equipment. The adjustable OFF time delay ensures that loads are only active when needed and shut down after a specified period, while its low off-state current draw of 1.5 mA minimizes parasitic battery drain.
What is the off-state current draw of the Egis TDR Series relay?
The off-state current draw is an exceptionally low 1.5 mA, which is critical for minimizing battery drain when the vehicle or vessel is not in operation.
Can the Egis TDR Series relay be used with sensitive onboard electronics?
Yes, the relay can protect sensitive onboard electronics with its optional under/over voltage protection feature, which automatically shuts down power if voltage levels fall outside safe operating parameters.
What is the adjustable OFF time delay range for this relay?
The adjustable OFF time delay range extends from 0 seconds (instant off) up to 4 hours, offering extensive flexibility for various application requirements.
What are the environmental protection standards met by the Egis TDR Series relay?
The relay meets stringent environmental protection standards, including IP66 for dust and water ingress protection and IP6K9K for high-pressure washdown resistance, as well as ISO 8846 for ignition protection in potentially explosive atmospheres.
