The time delay relay circuit described here is intended for this purpose. It gives power to the device only after one to two minutes of delay after the power is switched on. The circuit is a zener controlled switch. Relay remains latched as long as the voltage level in the mains is normal.
Likewise, how does a delay circuit work?
A delay before turn on circuit is a circuit that once you apply power to it doesn't turn on the output right away. There is a delay before the output turns on. For this circuit, it's a few seconds delay. Once these few seconds pass, then the output turns on.
Thereof, how do you use a time delay relay?
Upon application of input voltage, the time delay relay is ready to accept a trigger. When the trigger is applied, the time delay (t1) begins. At the end of the time delay (t1), the output is energized. When the trigger is removed, the output contacts remain energized for the time delay (t2).
Delay on Make. Application of power to the timer input voltage terminals starts the time delay cycle. At the end of the preset delay, the output transfers until it is reset by interrupting the input voltage.
