LCD panel timer · 8-digit min/sec 10-260V input 1/32 DIN · Eaton E5-224-C0458

What this product is for

This electronic panel timer is used for elapsed time indication in minutes and seconds where a compact 1/32 DIN device is required. It suits OEM equipment, industrial control panels, process timing, and machine cycle monitoring.

Use for

Use for panel-mounted timing applications that need an 8-digit LCD display, 10-260V AC/DC input pulse compatibility, and reset capability. Typical applications include packaging equipment, test benches, production counters with timed functions, and service interval monitoring.

Avoid for

Avoid for applications that require a programmable multifunction timer relay, output contacts for direct load switching, or a modern networked controller. This unit is for display and timing indication rather than full automation logic.

Best for

Best for electricians, panel builders, and maintenance teams needing a compact Eaton timer with a clear LCD readout and broad 10-260V input range. It is a practical fit when panel space is limited and simple elapsed timing is needed.

Installed in

Installed in control panel doors, operator stations, OEM machinery, and industrial equipment cutouts sized for 1/32 DIN devices. Panel cutout is approximately 0.87 x 1.77 in (22.2 x 45 mm), with front dimensions about 0.94 x 1.89 in (24 x 48 mm).

Why this product exists

This model provides straightforward minutes/seconds timing in a compact panel format without requiring a large controller or HMI. The built-in lithium battery supports memory and display operation, with typical battery life of approximately 8 years. Actual service life depends on operating conditions and usage.

Compared with similar products

Compared with larger panel timers, this 1/32 DIN model saves space while still providing an 8-digit LCD display. Compared with basic hour meters, this version is intended for minutes/seconds timing and accepts a wide 10-260V AC/DC input range. If you need direct control outputs or multiple timing modes, a programmable timer relay may be a better choice.
