Finder 84 Series SMARTimer: Smarter Timer Programming Starts Here
Still Programming Timers the Old-Fashioned Way?
Industrial timers have been a staple of control panels for decades, but configuring them hasn't always been easy.
Tiny buttons, confusing programming menus, and multiple timing relays can make panel design and maintenance more complicated than necessary.
The Finder 84 Series SMARTimer takes a modern approach by combining two independent programmable timer channels into one compact device, and allowing configuration directly from your smartphone using NFC technology.
It's a smarter way to build, maintain, and update industrial control panels.
Program Timers with a Simple Tap
One of the biggest advantages of the Finder 84 Series is its Near Field Communication (NFC) capability.
Using the free Finder Toolbox app, users can configure timer functions, operating modes, and timing values from their smartphone. Once the settings are complete, simply tap your phone against the SMARTimer to transfer the configuration.
Even better, programming can be completed without powering the device, making bench setup and maintenance significantly more convenient.
For technicians, panel builders, and OEMs, this means:
- Faster commissioning
- Easier parameter changes
- Reduced programming errors
- Consistent configurations across multiple machines
Two Independent Timers in One Device
Instead of mounting multiple timing relays, the Finder 84 Series combines two fully independent timer channels into a single unit.
Each channel can be configured separately, helping reduce panel space while providing greater flexibility for machine control.
The result is:
- Fewer components
- More efficient panel layouts
- Reduced wiring
- Lower overall hardware costs
Built for Easy Operation
The SMARTimer was designed to simplify day-to-day operation.A bright backlit display shows both the programmed target time and the real-time countdown for each channel, allowing operators and maintenance personnel to quickly verify timer operation.
Timing ranges span from 0.1 seconds to 9,999 hours, making the device suitable for everything from short machine sequences to long process timing applications.
For users who prefer traditional setup methods, the SMARTimer also includes intuitive onboard joystick programming.
