Description:

ASTP-Y Compact Time Relay – Universal Power, Wide Timing Selection, Robust Performance

The ASTP-Y is a high‑performance, panel‑mount time relay designed to meet the demanding timing requirements of industrial automation, building management, and process control systems. With an ultra‑wide universal power supply (DC12‑48V and AC12‑380V 50Hz), low power consumption, and a robust 5A output contact, this relay offers exceptional flexibility in a compact 50×62 mm panel cutout. Featuring thirteen adjustable time ranges – from 0.1 seconds to 6 hours – the ASTP‑Y can handle everything from short machine pulses to long‑duration cycles in HVAC, lighting, motor control, and irrigation. Its rugged construction, high insulation resistance, and long mechanical life make it an ideal choice for control panels, OEM equipment, and field upgrades worldwide.

Universal Power Supply for Global Deployment

The ASTP‑Y operates on an exceptionally wide voltage range: DC12V‑48V and AC12V‑380V (50Hz). This universal compatibility allows the relay to be used in virtually any control system – from low‑voltage DC logic circuits (e.g., PLC outputs, battery‑backed systems, sensors) to standard AC mains up to 380V, covering industrial power systems across the globe. This eliminates the need for multiple relay models for different voltages, simplifying inventory and reducing costs. The power consumption is remarkably low: DC1.0W / AC1.0VA, which minimizes heat generation inside enclosures and reduces the load on control circuits, making it suitable for energy‑sensitive applications and densely populated panels.

Compact Panel‑Mount Design

Designed for front‑panel installation, the ASTP‑Y requires a 50×62 mm mounting hole – a compact footprint that allows high‑density placement on control cabinets, machine consoles, or portable test boxes. Weighing ≈220g, it is sturdy yet easy to handle. The front panel features a clear adjustment dial and a rotary switch to select the desired rated time from the available options. The intuitive layout enables quick, tool‑free setting of the delay, reducing setup errors and training time.

Thirteen Adjustable Time Ranges for Maximum Flexibility

The ASTP‑Y offers thirteen independent rated time settings, each with a continuously adjustable range via a built‑in potentiometer. The available combinations are:

Rated Time Adjustable Range Rated Time Adjustable Range
1s 0.1s – 1s 3m 0.1m – 3m
2s 0.1s – 2s 6m 0.3m – 6m
3s 0.1s – 3s 12m 0.6m – 12m
6s 0.2s – 6s 30m 1m – 30m
12s 0.6s – 12s 60m 2m – 60m
60s 2.0s – 60s 3h 0.1h – 3h
2m 5.0s – 2m 6h 0.2h – 6h

(Note: s = seconds, m = minutes, h = hours)

This broad selection covers a wide spectrum of industrial and commercial timing needs – from brief 0.1‑1s delays in packaging machinery to extended 0.2‑6h cycles in environmental testing or irrigation systems. The user simply turns the range selector to the desired rated time (e.g., 6s, 30m, 3h) and then adjusts the potentiometer to the exact delay required.

Robust Output Contact for Direct Load Switching

Equipped with a control output rated at 5A at 220V AC, the ASTP‑Y can directly switch a variety of loads, including contactor coils, solenoid valves, small motors, indicator lamps, fans, and resistive heaters. The output contact is designed for long‑term reliability, with a mechanical life of 10⁷ operations and an electrical life of 10³ operations at rated load. This durability makes it suitable for high‑cycle applications such as packaging machinery, conveyor systems, and repetitive industrial processes.

High Insulation and Dielectric Strength for Safety

Safety is paramount in any electrical installation. The ASTP‑Y offers an insulation resistance of ≥100MΩ at DC500V, ensuring excellent isolation between the power supply, timing circuit, and output contact. Dielectric strength is rated at 1500V AC between coil/electronics and contacts (BCC) and 1000V AC between open contacts (BOC), guaranteeing protection against voltage surges and reducing the risk of arcing or breakdown. These characteristics make the relay suitable for use in industrial environments where electrical noise and transients are common.

Reliable Performance in Diverse Environments

The ASTP‑Y is built to operate reliably under typical industrial conditions:

· Operating temperature: -10°C to +50°C – suitable for unheated workshops, outdoor enclosures, and climate‑controlled rooms.
· Humidity: 35% to 85% (non‑condensing) – performs well in most environments without risk of moisture damage.

These specifications ensure stable timing accuracy and long life even in moderately demanding settings.

Typical Applications

The versatile time ranges of the ASTP‑Y make it ideal for countless applications:

· Motor Control: Star‑delta starting (using 3‑12 seconds), anti‑short cycling for compressors (30‑60 seconds).
· Conveyor Systems: Delayed start of belt sections (1‑12 seconds), accumulation zone timing (2‑30 seconds).
· HVAC: Fan delay on/off (30‑60 seconds), defrost timing (6‑30 minutes), filter maintenance reminders (1‑6 hours).
· Lighting Control: Staircase lighting delay (1‑30 seconds), corridor occupancy control (1‑12 minutes), signage flashing.
· Pump Control: Alternating pump operation (12‑60 minutes), well pump delay after power restoration (3‑12 minutes).
· Industrial Machinery: Welding timers (1‑6 seconds), cooling fan delays (30‑60 seconds), batch process timing (6‑60 minutes).
· Irrigation & Agriculture: Automated watering cycles (3‑6 hours).
· Test Equipment: Aging tests, vibration table cycles, data logging intervals (hours).

Easy Installation and Operation

Mounting the ASTP‑Y is straightforward: cut a 50×62 mm rectangular hole in the panel, insert the relay, and secure it with the included brackets. Connect the power supply (DC12‑48V or AC12‑380V) and the load to the appropriate terminals. Select the rated time using the front‑panel rotary switch, then rotate the adjustment dial to the exact delay required. No complex programming or external tools are needed. The clear terminal labeling and logical layout minimize wiring errors and reduce installation time.

Conclusion

The ASTP‑Y Compact Time Relay combines a space‑saving panel‑mount design, universal AC/DC power supply (12‑380V AC / 12‑48V DC), low power consumption, and a robust 5A output with thirteen adjustable time ranges covering seconds, minutes, and hours. Its high insulation resistance, dielectric strength, and long mechanical life ensure reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. Whether you need a precise 0.1‑1s delay for a packaging line or a 0.2‑6h cycle for an irrigation system, the ASTP‑Y delivers consistent, repeatable performance. For engineers, panel builders, and maintenance professionals seeking an affordable, versatile, and durable timing solution, the ASTP‑Y is the perfect choice. Install it once and enjoy years of dependable service.
