Question 1

Generally, ____________________ are devices having a timing function after the timer coil has been energized or deenergized.

Accepted Answer

time-delay relays

Question 2

A(n) ____________________ function allows a timer to hold its outputs in the last state without resetting the circuit.

Accepted Answer

inhibit

Question 3

The Eagle CX200, solid-state timer, is a microprocessor-based timer/counter. Time or count operation, time range, and standard or reverse start operation are selected via seven miniature ____ switches located inside the unit housing.
A) rocker
B) limit
C) lever
D) rotary

Accepted Answer

The Eagle CX200 uses miniature rocker switches for selecting various operations and settings.

Question 4

The ____________________ timer is used to control a number of electrical circuits in a predetermined sequence.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The ____________________ timer is used to control...

Question 5

It is true that time elapses during nearly every action taking place on a machine. This fact means that a timer is always the best means of control.

Accepted Answer

While time does elapse during actions on a machine, the best means of control depends on the specific requirements of the task, including factors like precision, efficiency, and the nature of the process being controlled. Other control methods, such as event-driven, sensor-based, or algorithmic controls, may be more appropriate depending on the context.

Question 6

Another form of the reset timer is often called a ____ timer. It is used extensively in programming control. Multiple time periods can be controlled by the adjustment of each individual ON and OFF setting.
A) clutch
B) multiple-interval
C) multiple-contact
D) repeat-cycle

Accepted Answer

A multiple-interval timer is a type of reset timer that is used extensively in programming control. It allows for multiple time periods to be controlled by adjusting each individual ON and OFF setting.

Question 7

The SX200 series digital timer described in the text uses ____________________ to retain the set point, actual time values, and program parameters.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The SX200 series digital timer described in...

Question 8

The manual-set timer requires manual operation of the timer to start and stop operation.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The manual-set timer requires manual operation of...

Question 9

When reference is made to ____, the time function may start on one or more of the contacts at energization, or at any time after energization during a preset time cycle.
A) sensors
B) time-delay relays
C) timers
D) pressure switches

Accepted Answer

The reference to time function starting at energization and preset time cycles suggests the use of timers. Time-delay relays may also have a similar function, but the wording of the question is more specific to timers. Sensors and pressure switches do not have a direct relationship with time functions starting at energization or preset time cycles.

Question 10

Time-delay relays have a normally open and a normally closed timing contact.

Accepted Answer

Time-delay relays typically have both a normally open and normally closed timing contact. The timing function can control the state of these contacts based on a set time delay.
