What is a Delay-On-Dropout-Timer relay. Is this what can be used for a glow plug timer?
Averagesupernova said:Thornton why do I get the feeling you are connected with the company Omron? To the OP, industrial timers are pretty standardized. No need to go with a specific brand.
MThornton said:My recommendation of using a simple push-button (for glow-plugs) is illustration of adherence to the KISS principal... no timer required at all.

A time delay relay is an electrical component that is used to control the timing of an event or action in a circuit. It allows for a delay in the activation or deactivation of a circuit, which is useful in various applications such as controlling motors, lights, and other electrical devices.
A D-O-D timer, or "delay-on-delivery" timer, is a type of time delay relay that is commonly used in industrial settings. It is designed to provide a delay between the delivery of a signal and the activation of a circuit, which is useful for coordinating the operation of multiple devices.
A glow plug timer is a type of time delay relay that is specifically used in diesel engines to control the glow plugs, which are used to heat the engine for easier starting. The timer provides a delay in activating the glow plugs, which helps to extend their lifespan and improve the overall performance of the engine.
A time delay relay typically consists of a control circuit, a time delay circuit, and a load circuit. When a signal is received by the control circuit, it activates the time delay circuit, which then triggers the load circuit after a set amount of time has passed. This delay can be adjusted using the settings on the relay.
Time delay relays have a wide range of applications across various industries. They are commonly used in automation and control systems to coordinate the operation of multiple devices, in HVAC systems to control the timing of heating and cooling cycles, and in automotive systems to control the activation of various components such as lights and motors. They can also be used in safety systems to provide a delay in activating alarms or emergency shut-off switches.
