Solenoid Cascade Delay
(24V Versions Only)

The inrush power required to initiate the locking solenoid is approximately 56 VA for 0.1 seconds. If several switches are installed in parallel, the combined energy requirements for these units is considerable and may cause an excess burden to the power supply. To elevate this problem, the 24 Volt versions of the FS solenoid locking switches have a built in millisecond time delay for the activation of the solenoid. This delay can be configured into 4 ranges, that are set through two internal dip switches. Setting the time delay will sequence the inrush demands of the solenoid, reducing the demands on the power supply.
