Schneider Electric RTX-132 Time Delay Relay, 2P, 5A, 10-120s, 220-230V AC/DC

The Schneider Electric RTX-132 is a high-quality time delay relay engineered for precise control in industrial and automation environments. This device provides reliable delayed switching functionality, allowing for controlled activation or deactivation of electrical circuits within a specified timeframe. With its robust construction and compatibility with both AC and DC power sources, it serves as a dependable component for managing complex electrical sequences.

Advantages

This relay offers exceptional operational stability, ensuring consistent performance even in demanding industrial settings. Its adjustable timing range provides the flexibility needed to fine-tune automation processes, while the dual-pole configuration allows for versatile circuit management. The unit is designed for seamless integration into standard control panels, offering a compact footprint that saves space without compromising on power handling capabilities.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation control systems
• Timed lighting control in commercial buildings
• Motor start-up sequencing
• Process control applications requiring delayed activation
• HVAC system management

This relay may not be suitable for applications requiring extremely high-frequency switching or environments where the required time delay falls outside the 10 to 120-second range. It is also not intended for direct high-power motor starting without appropriate contactor support.

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 2P (Double Pole)
• Rated current: 5A
• Time delay range: 10 to 120 seconds
• Operating voltage: 220-230V AC/DC
• Mounting type: Standard industrial rail or panel mount

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is typically mounted on a DIN rail or within a control cabinet. Once mounted, the desired time delay is set using the adjustment dial on the front of the unit. Ensure that the supply voltage matches the specified range before connecting the control and load circuits to the appropriate terminals.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your control circuit voltage matches the 220-230V AC/DC requirement.
• Ensure the 5A load rating is sufficient for your specific application.
• Confirm that the 10-120 second timing range meets your operational needs.
• Check available space in your control panel for installation.

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the relay is installed in an environment free from excessive vibration, dust, and extreme temperatures. Regularly inspect terminal connections to ensure they remain tight and free from oxidation.
