Foxtam Controls have introduced a new range of BMS & HVAC Mechanical Plant Extension “Override” Timers, also referred to as “Caretaker Timers”. This new series of FOX.MET timers are a replacement for the now obsolete range of 134 & 136.2 mechanical range of timers.
Whilst of traditional technology, there remains a resilient requirement for a simple “tried and tested” solution to plant extension on BMS & HVAC applications for an operative such as a caretaker to easily override a BMS controller to provide heating extension or similar.
The FOX.MET timers are front panel mounted, rugged and simple for an operative to turn the timer to whatever extension time is required. Being clockwork spring driven, no separate fused auxiliary supply is required, therefore also perfect for remote from control panel applications.
Four versions are available with regards to selectable time setting - 0-15 min, 0-60 min, 0-6 hrs, 0-12 hrs, the six-hour version historically being the most popular. The output contact is SPCO mains rated, 16 Amps.
