Introduction

An excellent value in its class, the B856 features a compact 1/16 DIN package, the
precision of digital setting, versatile functionality, and a straightforward button-per-
digit interface.
It can be easily programmed to perform any standard timing operation: On-Delay, Off-
Delay, Interval 1, Interval 2, or Repeat Cycle. A unique On-Delay /Interval Mode can in
many cases perform the function of two separate timers. Output is via DPDT relay
contacts.
Five selectable time ranges, and a programmable decimal point provide preset times
ranging from .01 seconds to 9999 hours.
An available model's output features separate timed and instantaneous SPDT
contacts.
Simplicity of operation is maintained while still providing a high level of
functionality. All programming is done through the front panel, with an intuitive
button-per-digit keypad that makes entry
of preset times quick and easy. A crisp
dual line LCD display lets the operator
readily view elapsed or remaining cycle
time as well as the preset value. Prominent
annunciators indicate information such as Technical Manual
the time range and the status of the input
and outputs.

Reliability is a key feature of the B856.
IEC Level 4 noise immunity ensures
flawless operation in harsh electrical
environments, while its IEC IP65
Eagle Signal brand
enclosure rating allows use in washdown conditions.
Wiring via an industry standard 11 pin socket and a power supply that can
Series B856
accept 24 - 240 VAC or 24 VDC vastly simplify setup.

INSTALLATION & WIRING

8mm Socket
To wire the unit, an 11 pin socket is required. The
unit can then either be DIN rail mounted or panel
mounted using the supplied mounting bracket. For
panel mounting, place the unit in the cutout, then
48mm slide the bracket forward over the rear of the unit so
that the tabs catch in the grooves on the housing and
the bracket is as far forward as possible. Tighten the
panel mount screws until there is a snug fit against
66mm
the panel. Do not overtighten.

PROGRAM MODE

• Enter the Program Mode by holding down the "P" key for 3 seconds
• Press the "P" key to move the top display from one parameter to the next
• Press the "E" key to scroll the bottom display through the available choices for that parameter
• While in Program Mode the unit will stop timing, and the output will retain its last state. The new
settings will only become effective after returning to Operation Mode by holding down the "P" key
