Echo Industries DIN Rail Timers & Time Switches | Precision Control for Modern Automation

DIN rail mounted timers and timer relays are essential components in modern electrical control systems, delivering precise, repeatable, and reliable time-based switching. At Echo Industries, our range of time switches and multifunction relays is designed to simplify automation across industrial, commercial, and residential installations.

Whether you are managing lighting schedules, HVAC systems, motors, or process equipment, our timing solutions provide dependable control directly within standard distribution boards and control panels. Below, we explore our key products and their applications in more detail.


EMFT Multifunction Time Relay – Flexible Industrial Control

The EMFT 12–240V AC/DC Multifunction Timer is a highly versatile DIN rail-mounted time relay designed for demanding automation tasks.

It supports 10 selectable timing functions, and an extensive time range from 0.1 seconds to 10 days, making it suitable for everything from short switching delays to long-cycle automation processes. With a wide 12–240V AC/DC supply range, it integrates easily into almost any electrical system worldwide.

Key features include:

  • Dual or single relay output (1× or 2× SPDT, 16A / 250VAC)
  • Rotary switch configuration for quick setup
  • LED indicators for real-time status monitoring

This makes it ideal for controlling lighting systems, pumps, fans, heating circuits, and industrial sequencing applications where reliability and flexibility are essential.


TC24HR 24-Hour Time Clock – Daily Scheduling Made Simple

The TC24HR 24 Hour Time Clock is designed for precise daily scheduling with a straightforward mechanical programming system.

Using a 15-minute segment dial (96-pin layout), it allows users to create consistent 24-hour on/off schedules for electrical loads. This makes it particularly effective for applications requiring fixed daily routines.

Highlights include:

  • 16A switching capacity with manual ON/Auto control
  • Quartz movement for high accuracy (±3 sec/day)
  • 100-hour battery backup for uninterrupted operation

Its simplicity and reliability make it ideal for lighting control, heating systems, ventilation fans, and general building automation.


TC7D 7-Day Timer Switch – Weekly Automation Control

The TC7D 7 Day Time Clock provides advanced 7-day programmable control, making it suitable for more complex scheduling requirements.

With up to 96 memory locations, it allows detailed programming across the week, including daily, weekly, holiday, pulse, and cycle modes.

Key features:

  • LCD display with intuitive touch-button navigation
  • 16A switching capacity for a wide range of loads
  • Lithium battery backup offering up to 4 years reserve
  • PIN lock security to prevent unauthorised changes

This model is widely used in commercial buildings, retail lighting systems, HVAC control, and machinery scheduling where flexible weekly programming is required.


TC7D2 Dual Channel Timer – Independent Multi-Load Control

The TC7D2 7 Day Time Clock Dual Channel extends functionality further with two independent output channels, allowing separate devices to be controlled from a single unit.

Like the single-channel version, it supports up to 96 programmable events and multiple operating modes including manual, random, holiday, pulse, and cycle functions.

Key benefits:

  • Dual-channel independent switching for greater control flexibility
  • LCD interface with touch-key programming
  • 16A rated output with quartz timing accuracy
  • Battery backup providing long-term program retention

This makes it ideal for multi-zone lighting systems, dual machinery control, or combined heating and ventilation systems, reducing the need for multiple devices and simplifying installation.
