2 Safety
Designated use:
Electronic timers are used wherever a
procedure needs to be time-controlled.
AP 117 electronic timers are suitable
for timed activation of electric external
vibrators, solenoid valves and motor
overheating protection.
With these timers electric vibrators,
pneumatic vibrators, pneumatic im-
pactors and other drives can be
switched on and off exactly to the sec-
ond.
By selecting suitable pause times, the
operation of the vibrators is optimized,
drive energy can be saved and the
noise level lowered.
Any other usage is considered to be
improper.
The electronic timer has no safety de-
vices of its own.

AP 117 has two functions:
•Function “standard”
•Function “cascade / interval / pulse
mode”
Function “standard”:
The sequence begins with the duty time
(RUN), which can be adjusted from 1 s
to 99 h. During this time the supply volt-
age is applied to the timer output.
When the duty time ends, the pause
time (PAUSE) of 1 s to 99 h runs, then
the duty time, etc.
Function “cascade / interval / pulse
mode”:
The sequence begins with the duty
time, which can be adjusted from 1 s to
99 h. The duty time begins with the
clock duty time (pulses), which is ad-
justable from 0 to 59 s. When the clock
duty time ends, the clock pause time of
0 to 59 s runs, then the duty time
again, etc. until the duty time ends.
After that, the pause time runs.
The elapsed time is visible on the dis-
play. The respective time digits are
brightly illuminated when active.

must work only with insulated tools which are
suitable for the application.
CAUTION
Only suitable and flexible supply cables should be used for the connec-
tion of the electronic timers AP 117. Cables and earthing conductors must
be connected according to the respective regulations.
The conductors in the supply cable for
connection of the AP 117 to the power
supply must be temperature-resistant and have a sufficiently large cross-
section matching the used cable length.
DANGER
The electric lines must be carefully routed. It must be ensured that cables
cannot be worn through by vibrating components.
It should be checked that the electric lines and their connectors are in
perfect working condition at regular intervals (generally every six months).
Any faults which are discovered must be immediately remedied.
Protect cables from high temperatures, lubricants and sharp edges.
CAUTION
At delivery the fuse is located in the socket.
The operating voltage for the electronic timer is also the supply voltage for the
device to be controlled (solenoid valve, contactor, vibrator, motor, etc.).

energized while the clock pause time
is running.

15
IMPORTANT
A cycle has to consist of at least two clock duty times and one
clock pause
time.
IMPORTANT
The total sum of clock duty times and clock pause times is the duty time. If
the clock duty time and the clock pause time are selected in a way that
their total sum cannot correspond to the duty time, the duty time is auto-
matically rounded up.
Example:
Clock duty time = 5 sec., Clock pause time = 3 sec.,
selected duty time =
11 sec.
→The duty time is rounded up to 5+3+5 = 13 sec.
8 Maintenance / Service
IMPORTANT
Please observe the safety regulations in chapter 2 when servic
ing
the device.
If the timer is continually subjected to atmospheric influences the seal in the cover
and the electric lines should be regularly checked (at least every 6 months) for signs
of porosity.
