The H5CX-AS-N is a high-performance digital timer from Omron’s H5CX-A series. Designed for flexibility and reliability in industrial automation, this standard-type timer features a highly legible, multi-color display (red, green, or orange) and supports a wide variety of timing functions to accommodate complex control sequences.
This model is built with a user-friendly interface that includes DIP switch settings for quick configuration, and it offers both Timer Mode (11 modes) and Twin Timer Mode (4 modes). It is highly versatile in its signal handling, supporting both NPN and PNP inputs as well as gate input, allowing it to be easily integrated into diverse control architectures. It operates on a wide range of power supplies, including 100 to 240 VAC or 24 VAC/12 to 24 VDC, and is designed for secure mounting via a screw terminal block.

Installation Guidelines
Panel Mounting: Ensure the timer is mounted in a panel cutout with sufficient space for the locking bracket to securely hold the unit against the panel wall.
Wiring Configuration: Use the DIP switches on the side or rear of the unit to define the timer range and operating mode before applying power to the device.
Input Signal Logic: Verify that your system output (NPN or PNP) matches the input wiring configuration of the H5CX-AS-N to ensure proper trigger activation.
Environmental Considerations: Keep the device away from areas with high vibration or excessive electromagnetic noise, as these can interfere with the internal timing circuits.
FAQ
What is the primary difference between Timer Mode and Twin Timer Mode?
Timer Mode is used for standard single-event timing operations, whereas Twin Timer Mode allows for independent control of 'ON' and 'OFF' time intervals.
Can the H5CX-AS-N accept both NPN and PNP signals?
Yes, this model is designed to support both NPN and PNP input signals for flexibility in control circuit design.
What is the benefit of the multi-color display?
The multi-color display (red, green, or orange) allows operators to visually distinguish between different process states or system statuses at a glance.
