Mechanical time module Finder 86.30.0.024.0000 (mpn 863000240000)

The Finder mechanical time module 86.30.0.024.0000 is a compact electromechanical timer designed for scheduled on/off control in control panels and domestic devices. The unit uses a mechanical cam and contact mechanism to perform repetitive switching at set intervals. It is intended for installations where a straightforward, maintenance-free timing solution is required for lighting circuits, heating zones or appliances that need regular switching cycles.

Advantages

The mechanical construction offers reliable operation without the need for software or firmware updates, providing predictable switching behavior in environments where simplicity is preferred. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for integration into standard control panels and limited-space enclosures. Installation and replacement are straightforward, reducing downtime during maintenance.

Suitable for

• Periodic switching of lighting circuits
• Control of domestic heating zones and circulation pumps
• Timed operation of ventilation or extractor fans
• Regular on/off control for appliances and equipment requiring simple interval timing

Key specifications

• Type: Electromechanical time module with cam-driven switching
• Operation: Repetitive on/off cycles with adjustable segments
• Mounting: Panel or DIN-compatible mounting dimensions for compact enclosures
• Power handling: Rated for typical control circuit currents used in residential applications
• Mechanical durability: Designed for repeated mechanical switching cycles

How to use

Mount the module in a suitable panel or enclosure following standard electrical safety practices and local wiring regulations. Configure the mechanical cam segments or dial to define the desired on/off intervals, ensuring the contact positions correspond to required switching times. Connect line and load conductors to the module terminals as indicated in the device documentation and verify correct operation by cycling the unit through a complete timing period. Isolate power before performing installation or maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use the mechanical time module in applications where simple, predictable timing is sufficient and where electronic programmability is not required. Inspect contacts periodically in environments with dust or high humidity and replace the module if mechanical wear or contact degradation is observed.
