When the external synchronous input terminal (9) is open (HIGH), the output
relay performs timer operation according to the input signals (LIGHT, DARK).
When the external synchronous input terminaL (9) is connected to the 0 V terminal (2) (LOW), the output relay turns OFF, independently of the input signals
and output status, and acts as an inhibit signal.

The following are some examples of applications for which particular attention must be given. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible
uses of the products, nor is it intended to imply that the uses listed may be suitable for the products:
 Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical interference, or conditions or uses not described in this catalog.
 Nuclear energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles,
safety equipment, and installations subject to separate industry or government regulations.
 Systems, machines, and equipment that could present a risk to life or property.

OMRON shall not be responsible for the user's programming of a programmable product, or any consequence thereof.
Disclaimers
CHANGE IN SPECIFICATIONS
Product specifications and accessories may be changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons.
It is our practice to change model numbers when published ratings or features are changed, or when significant construction changes are made.
However, some specifications of the products may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, special model numbers may be assigned to fix or
establish key specifications for your application on your request. Please consult with your OMRON representative at any time to confirm actual
specifications of purchased products.
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHTS
Dimensions and weights are nominal and are not to be used for manufacturing purposes, even when tolerances are shown.
PERFORMANCE DATA
Performance data given in this catalog is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitability and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the
result of OMRON’s test conditions, and the users must correlate it to actual application requirements. Actual performance is subject to the OMRON
Warranty and Limitations of Liability.
