Introduction
Your Eagle-Signal brand B506 1/16 DIN timer is a powerful instrument which can be
field configured to fit a wide variety of applications. The secondary setpoint can be
used for a second time output, combining the function of two timers in a single
package, or as a batch counter to track the amount of completed cycles. 1 ms
resolution with transistor outputs make this unit well suited for high speed
processes.
Inside this manual you will find complete information on the Control mode, which
deals with viewing and changing the available setpoints, and Program Mode which is
used to configure the basic operation of the timer, as well as set a variety of other
useful features.
Also found in this manual are detailed timing diagrams and descriptions of the
available operating functions to aid you in determining how to properly configure the
unit to solve your application. Additionally included are key product specifications,
warranty procedures and ordering
information should you require additional
units or accessories.
Should you require any additional
assistance with the installation and
operation of this product, please call our
toll free application support line at 1-800-
234-8731.

To wire the unit, an 11 pin socket is required. The
unit can either be DIN rail mounted or panel
mounted using the supplied mounting bracket.
For panel mounting, place the unit in the cutout,
then slide the bracket forward over the rear of the
unit so that the tabs catch in the grooves on the
housing and the bracket is as far forward as
possible. Tighten the panel mount screws until
there is a snug fit against the panel. Do not
overtighten.

Warning: Do Not connect a coil in parallel with the start
signal for the B506, as pictured at left. Such a
connection will cause the start signal to be
continuously active. This situation also applies to the
Reset and Inhibit inputs.

Preset 2 Operation: Determines how Preset 2 will operate in relation to Preset 1. The available
choices vary based upon the selected "Operating Function":
For On-Delay and Accumulative:
• Absolute (AbS): Preset 2 is input as an absolute value, and the unit operates like two
independent On-Delay timers.
• Prewarn (PrE): Preset 2 is set as a value relative to Preset 1. The input value for P2 is equal to
the amount of time that Output 2 will activate prior to Output 1. Ex: If P1 = 20 seconds, and P2
equals 5, then output 2 will activate 15 seconds (20 - 5), after the timing cycle is initiated.
Note: The following parameter will only appear if "Output 2" is set to Preset 2.
Note: The following parameter will not appear if "Operating Function" is set to Off
Delay, Delay/Interval or On/Off Delay. In these instances Output 2 automatically
defaults to Batch Count.
Output 2 Operation: Determines the functionality of the 2nd output. Choices are:
• Preset 2 (P2): The unit will function as a dual setpoint timer, with output 2 linked to
Preset 2.
• Batch Count (bC): Output 2 will be activated after a preset amount of Operations is
completed. The preset value is input in the Batch Count screen in Control Mode.

C O N F I G U R A T I O N
For Interval 1 and Interval 2:
Begin Together (bt): Preset 2 is set as an independent time interval which will begin timing and
activate Output 2 upon initiation of the start signal .
End Together (Et): Preset 2 is set as a value relative to Preset 1. The timing sequence for P2 will
initiate at the appropriate time so that the timing sequences for P1 and P2 will end
simultaneously and Output 1 and Output 2 will deactivate together.
Sequential (SE): Preset 2 is set as an indepedent time interval which will begin its timing
sequence upon completion of the P1 interval.

Note: The following parameter will only appear if "Output 2" is set to Batch Count.
Batch Count Output: Sets the duration of Output 2, within a range from 1 second to 9999
seconds. A setting of 0000 will latch the output until a reset signal is received
Time Range 1 : Sets the unit of measure for the time values that will be used for Preset 1. The
choices will not appear on the bottom display, but will be signified with the annunciator lights.
Choices are:
• Seconds
• Minutes
• Hours
• Minutes:Seconds
• Hours:Minutes
Note: The following parameter will not appear if "Minutes:Seconds" or
"Hours:Minutes" is chosen for Time Range 1.
Decimal Position for Time Range 1: Determines the resolution of the selected time range.
Settable from 0000 to 0.000
Note: The following parameter will only appear for those configurations that
provide a Preset 2 display.
Time Range 2 : Sets the unit of measure for the time values that will be used for Preset 2. The
choices will not appear on the bottom display, but will be signified with the annunciator lights.
Choices are:
• Seconds
• Minutes
• Hours
• Minutes:Seconds
• Hours:Minutes
Note: The following parameter will not appear if "Minutes:Seconds" or

Timing Direction: Determines whether the time values for Preset 1 and 2 will increment from
zero and change the state of the output at the set value (uP) or decrement from the set value and
change the state of the output at zero (dn).

Front Panel Reset Enable: When active (On), the timing operation can be reset in Control Mode by
simultaneously pressing the "E" and "P" keys. If inactive (OFF), the timing operation can only be
reset through the remote input.
