Altronix 6062 Multi-Purpose Timer Module

The Altronix 6062 is a 12/24 VDC multi-purpose programmable timer relay module designed for access control, security alarm, and automated signaling applications. It provides an adjustable timing range of 1 second to 60 minutes, an 8A Form C relay rated at 120 VAC or 28 VDC, and selectable delayed or immediate relay activation. Supporting positive-voltage and dry-contact triggering, the 6062 offers one-shot, delayed pulse, reset, and repeating flasher functions. Its compact 3 2.5 0.75-inch circuit board draws only 3 mA in standby and includes a red relay status LED.

Altronix 6062 Multi-Purpose Programmable Timer Relay Module, 12/24 VDC

The Altronix 6062 Multi-Purpose Timer provides adjustable relay timing and switching control for electronic access control, intrusion security, and automated signaling systems. Manufactured by Altronix, the board-mounted module operates from selectable 12 VDC or 24 VDC power and supports timing intervals from 1 second to 60 minutes. Its programmable functions include delayed operation, delayed release, one-shot activation, momentary pulse output, and repeating flasher operation. The 6062 is suitable for timed electric door strikes, door-ajar annunciation, alarm bell cutoff, digital dialer delays, guard tour supervision, and temporary alarm zone bypass. Its compact circuit board allows integration into compatible low-voltage security equipment enclosures without requiring a separate standalone timing controller.

The Altronix 6062 features one Form C (SPDT) relay with normally open, normally closed, and common contacts rated at 8 amperes at 120 VAC or 28 VDC. The module draws approximately 3 mA in standby and 40 mA with the relay energized, reducing its power requirements when connected to a suitable regulated DC supply. Its trigger input supports positive DC voltage, normally open dry-contact closure, and normally closed contact operation, allowing activation through compatible pushbuttons, door contacts, access control relays, and alarm panel outputs. Trigger voltage requirements are 7-12 VDC in 12V mode and 15-24 VDC in 24V mode. A red onboard LED illuminates when the relay energizes, providing immediate visual confirmation during installation, testing, and troubleshooting.

The 6062 uses four DIP switches and adjustable jumper configurations to select operating voltage, timing range, trigger behavior, and relay activation sequence. Installers can configure timing in 1-60-second or 1-60-minute ranges using DIP switch 2 and the onboard adjustment potentiometer. Relay operation can begin at the start or end of a timing cycle, while a separate setting allows timing to start immediately upon receiving a trigger or after the trigger is removed. The J1 jumper enables repeating pulser/flasher operation, and J2 provides a one-second relay pulse at the end of a selected delay. The J3 configuration controls power-up reset behavior and prevents automatic timing restart after power restoration when configured accordingly. These settings allow one module to perform multiple timing functions without separate dedicated delay relays.

The Altronix 6062 measures 3 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 0.75 inch high (76.2 63.5 19.05 mm) and weighs approximately 0.1 pound (0.05 kg). Its circuit board includes four mounting holes and is compatible with the optional Altronix ST3 Snap Trac mounting accessory for installation in suitable equipment enclosures. Manufacturer specifications identify an operating temperature range of -4 F to 120 F (-20 C to 49 C) and relative humidity of approximately 85% 5%. Installation requires a filtered, regulated 12 VDC or 24 VDC power source matched to the selected DIP-switch setting. The 6062 is a timer relay board, not a complete power supply or alarm control panel; external devices, power supplies, and protective enclosures are supplied separately. Altronix backs the module with a lifetime manufacturer warranty. Wiring, contact loading, timing configuration, and integration with access control or fire alarm equipment must follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable system requirements.
