305E Series
Noted for its circuit flexibility, the 305 also provides the highest
accuracy among analog timers. Available for either ON-Delay or OFFDelay operation.
The 305 provides delay, interval or pulse timing function for up to
7 load circuits through two instantaneous and two delayed switches.
It features a plug-in design and cycle progress indication.
E24305
PLUG-IN AND DUST-TIGHT DESIGN: By virtue of its true plug-in design,
the body of a 305 can be replaced in seconds without disturbing the
housing or disconnecting the wiring. Its gasketed dial assembly forms a
dust-tight seal against the housing, whether panel or surface-mounted.
FASTEST RESET: All 305 timers reset to a full-scale setting within 0.1
second, proportionately faster for shorter settings.
Motor-Driven Analog Reset Timer
CIRCUIT FLEXIBILITY: All the contacts of its two instantaneous and two
delayed load switches are externally accessible at a 14 point terminal
block.
LONGEST LIFE: With an average mechanical life expectancy of over
5,000,000 o perations before the first failure, the 305 is the leader in
its class.
PILOT LIGHT: A built-in pilot light indicates that the timer is running.

OPERATION
The 305 is a synchronous motor-driven timer with an
electrically-operated clutch equipped either for ON-Delay or OFF-Delay
operation.
ON-DELAY: When power is applied (start signal on), the clutch solenoid
is energized. Two things happen immediately and simultaneously, the
instantaneous switches transfer from one set of contacts to the other,
and the motor begins to drive the cycle progress pointer toward zero.
At the end of the timed period, the pointer trips one of the delayed
switches, a brief time later (about 1/2% of full scale), the other delayed
switch is tripped, stopping the timer motor but leaving the clutch engaged. The timer does not reset until power to the clutch is removed.
OFF-DELAY: Timing starts when power is removed (start signal off),
from the spring-loaded, normally engaged clutch. The timer is reset
when power is restored to the clutch solenoid; simultaneously, the
instantaneous contacts are tripped. Action of the delayed contacts is the
same as with ON-Delay timers. A power outage stops the motor but does
not reset the OFF-Delay 305E.
ELECTROMECHANICAL TIMER
HIGHEST ACCURACY: Because of its exclusive infinite engagement
clutch, the 305 has a repeat accuracy of 0.2%, highest of any timer in
its class.
