The BR series reset timers are synchronous motor driven. They provide an accurate adjustable time delay between the actuation of the control circuit and the operation of the load switches. "On Delay" or "Reverse Start" timing is achieved using an external clutch drive mechanism, usually not available on timers in the BR price category, that replaces the former "gear shift motor" drive. This clutch drive provides much faster reset times, longer time ranges, and substantially longer motor life. The instantaneous contact operates directly with the clutch and closes instantly when the clutch is energized, remaining closed until the clutch is deenergized. This instantaneous contact allows the BR timer to be used in a much greater number of control circuit configurations than any other timer in its class.
