instructions
Before use of the type AP 117 elec-
tronic timers read this operating man-
ual carefully. It is the basis for any
action taken with regard to the AP 117
and may be used for training purpos-
es. The operating manual should sub-
sequently be stored near the product.
Target group

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.
Qualified Personnel:
Installation, start-up, maintenance and
fault correction of the electronic timer
may only be carried out by authorized,
qualified personnel.
Handling the electronic timer always
lies in the responsibility of the opera-
tor.
CAUTION
Netter GmbH does not assume liability for damage or injury result-
ing from technical modifications to the product or failure to ob-
serve the instructions and warnings in this operating manual.
DANGER
Live parts can cause severe or even deadly injury.
DANGER
DANGER
AUTOMAT-
IC START
If, following a voltage interruption, power is again applied to the power
supply conn
ection, the next cycle will always begin with the set duty
time.
The output is immediately energized.
DISCON-
NECT
POWER
SUPPLY
When working on the electronic timers they must be isolated from the
mains supply. To do so please proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the electronic timer
2. Secure against switching on again
3. Make sure it is de-energized
4. Earth and short-circuit
5. Cover or isolate any neighboring voltage parts

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.

5 Transport and Storage
IM-
PORTANT
Check the packaging for possible signs of transport damage. In the event
of damage to the packaging, check that the contents are complete and
undamaged. If there is any damage, inform the shipping agent.
The electronic timer is packed ready-
to-install.
At delivery the fuse is located in the
socket.
When transporting electronic timers, it
should be ensured that they are not
subjected to severe impacts or vibra-
tions.
The units should be stored in a clean,
dry environment.
If electronic timers are in storage for
longer periods, the temperature in the
store-room must not be below -20°C or
above 40°C and the relative air humid-
ity must not exceed 60%.

6 Installation
CAUTION
During installation, the safety regulations in chapter 2 and the accident
prevention rules must be strictly observed!
The electronic timers have
been manufactured in accordance with the
current EC directives.
Installation, start-up and maintenance may only be carried out by author-
ized qualified personnel.
For installation and operation of the electronic timers the regulations and
directions of the
local engineering associations (e.g. VDE) and the known
accident prevention rules have to be observed.
6.1 Mounting the Electronic Timer
AP 117 electronic timers can be
mounted in any position.
The 4 bores (Ø 4.25 mm) for attach-
ment of the unit are accessible once
the cover has been opened.
Dimensions of the mounting bores:
108 mm × 127 mm (see Ch. 3 Tech-
nical Data).
The mounting surface must be even
and level, in order to avoid damaging
of the housing.
6.2 Electrical Connection
DANGER
ATTENTION:
The AP 117 must not be mounted or dismounted with voltage applied!
Electrical installation of the AP 117 electronic timer may only be per-
formed by authorized specialists.
The authorized specialists
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.).
