Single-function time delay relay
The Dayton 1EGC1 is a single-function time delay relay designed for industrial control panels and automation circuits that require a simple on-delay action. It suits electricians and panel builders who need a plug-in device with a transparent enclosure for visual inspection.
Plug-in octal base installation
The unit mounts on a standard octal socket using eight flat pins, so wiring is completed at the socket rather than on the relay itself. The potentiometer adjustment is accessible on the face, but the sealed IP20 enclosure prevents internal tampering and limits use to protected indoor cabinets.
Adjustable 3-second to 5-minute delay
The on-delay timer spans from 3 seconds up to 5 minutes, covering typical motor-start sequencing and staggered load energising. The DPDT contacts switch 10 amps at 240 volts AC or 30 volts DC, so the relay cannot handle higher currents or voltages without an external contactor.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the relay is timing correctly after installation?
Apply 120 V AC/DC to the coil and confirm the DPDT contacts switch after the potentiometer-set interval between 3 sec and 5 min.
What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?
The relay itself is supplied; you must provide an octal 8-pin socket and wiring for the 120 V coil and 10 A load circuits.
Which time-delay version should I choose for a simple power-on delay?
This model provides a single On Delay function adjustable from 3 sec to 5 min, matching that requirement.
