Product overviewKENDRION pneumatic timers (time-delay valves) provide precise timing control of pneumatic pressure signals without electrical components. Designed as auxiliary valve devices, they deliver switch-on or switch-off delays where electrical power is unavailable or not permitted. After assessment to EN 13463-1, KENDRION pneumatic timers are not classified under ATEX and can be used in IIG/IID hazardous areas. Typical applications include fire-safety systems, mining, and oil & gas installations.
Short descriptionPrecise, purely pneumatic time control of pressure signals; configurable time ranges depending on product series; no electrical parts.
Key features- No electrical components: fully pneumatic operation
- Adjustable time ranges by series: from 0.3 s up to 100 h (product-dependent)
- Time control for panel mounting via centrifugal rotor with reduction gear (for 5/2 series)
- Short-interval models use an adjustable vacuum principle and a 3/2 poppet valve (NC or NO)
- ATEX assessment per EN 13463-1: not ATEX-classified; usable in IIG/IID zones
- Typical applications: fire protection, mining, oil & gas
- Former brand name: Kuhnke
