Dayton 24EN79 Time Delay Relay
The Dayton 24EN79 is a single-function time delay relay built on an octal plug-in base. It operates on a 240V AC coil and provides an interval-on timing function adjustable from 3 seconds to 5 minutes via a potentiometer. The unit carries a DPDT contact form rated at 10 A for both 240V AC and 30V DC loads.
Suited for interval timing in control panels
This relay fits applications that need a single interval-on delay, such as motor start sequences, lighting controls or process timing circuits. The 8-pin octal socket mounting allows quick installation and replacement in standard industrial enclosures. Buyers who require multiple delay functions, on-delay or off-delay modes, or a different coil voltage should look at other models.
Verify your socket and voltage before ordering
Confirm that your control panel uses an 8-pin octal socket compatible with flat-pin relays. Ensure the supply voltage is 240V AC to match the coil rating. Check that the 10 A contact rating covers the load you intend to switch and that the IP20 enclosure meets the environmental protection needed for the installation.

Questions about this item
Which octal socket do I need to plug the 8-pin relay into?
Use a standard 8-pin octal socket rated for 240V AC and 10 A to match the relay's plug-in base and contact rating.
Will the 240V AC coil work with my existing 240V control circuit?
Yes, the coil is rated for 240V AC input, so it operates directly from a 240V AC control supply without a separate transformer.
How do I verify the interval timing is set correctly after wiring?
Apply power and measure the output contact closure; it should stay closed for the potentiometer-set interval between 3 seconds and 5 minutes before opening.
