REDARC TIM06 Multi-function Timer

Product Overview

The REDARC TIM06 is a compact, multi-function timer designed for automotive applications that require delayed activation or timed shutdown of accessories. It is compatible with both 12V and 24V negative ground systems and plugs directly into standard automotive relay bases, making it a simple drop-in solution.

The TIM06 provides two timing modes: Delayed Turn ON and Temporary Output at Turn OFF. With an adjustable timing range from 1 to 60 seconds or 1 to 60 minutes, it is well suited to tasks such as delayed lighting, staged startup of loads, fan purge cycles, or controlled accessory power after ignition is turned off.

Why Choose the TIM06?

The TIM06 is ideal when you need accessories to start after a delay or stay powered briefly after a signal turns off. By using the Delayed Turn ON mode or Temporary Output at Turn OFF mode, you can create controlled startup or shutdown sequences that protect components and improve system behaviour.

With its relay-style footprint, flexible timing adjustment and proven REDARC reliability, the TIM06 is a practical choice for installers who need consistent delayed timing control in modern automotive electrical systems.

What systems is the TIM06 compatible with?
The TIM06 is designed for 12V and 24V negative ground automotive electrical systems.
What timing modes does the TIM06 provide?
It offers Delayed Turn ON and Temporary Output at Turn OFF modes.
How do I adjust the timing interval on the TIM06?
Timing is set using a combination of DIP switches to select seconds or minutes, and the onboard potentiometer to fine tune the delay.
What is the timing range available?
You can select a range of 1–60 seconds or 1–60 minutes, depending on the DIP switch setting.
What is the maximum load that the TIM06 can switch?
The TIM06 can directly switch loads up to 10A. For higher current loads, use it to drive an external relay.
Does the TIM06 plug into standard automotive relay bases?
Yes. It uses the same pin layout as a standard automotive changeover relay, so it fits typical relay sockets.
Can the TIM06 switch negative ground instead of positive?
No. The TIM06 switches positive output only. Pin 85 must remain a permanent negative ground connection.
What is pin 86 used for on the TIM06?
Pin 86 is the positive input that starts the timing function according to the selected mode.
Where is the TIM06 best used in a vehicle?
Common uses include delayed interior or exterior lighting, staged startup of loads, and timed accessory control after ignition off.
Should I choose the TIM05 or TIM06 for my application?
Choose the TIM05 for delayed deactivation or brief activation when the system turns on (for example turbo timers or fan run-on). Choose the TIM06 for delayed activation scenarios, such as lights or accessories that need to turn on after a delay or stay on briefly after the signal turns off.
