Finder 087.02.2 – 83 Series Modular Timer – Potentiometer

Why Choose the Finder 087.02.2 External Potentiometer for Timer Relays?

The Finder 087.02.2 is a 10 kΩ linear external potentiometer designed for remote adjustment of compatible Finder industrial timer relays. Featuring a 0.25 W power rating and IP66 protection, this panel-mounted control accessory provides a convenient way to adjust timing settings from the front of an electrical control cabinet or machinery operator panel.

Specified by Finder for use with the 83.02 modular timer relay, the 087.02.2 enables external adjustment of the timer's associated timing setting without requiring direct access to the relay inside the enclosure. Its single-turn rotary control is designed for installation in a standard industrial control panel opening.

With a 22.5 mm mounting hole requirement and a compact rotary control arrangement, the Finder 087.02.2 is suitable for industrial automation, process timing, machinery control and electrical panel-building applications. The accessory allows the timer relay to remain installed within the cabinet while providing an accessible external adjustment point.

External Timing Adjustment for Industrial Automation and Control

Industrial timer relays are commonly used to introduce controlled delays into electrical automation systems. Applications include delayed equipment starting, sequencing, process timing and other operations where a defined time interval is required. In many installations, the timer relay is mounted inside an electrical cabinet, making its adjustment controls less accessible during routine operation.

The Finder 087.02.2 provides an external adjustment interface for compatible timer relays such as the Finder 83.02. By mounting the potentiometer on a suitable control panel and connecting it to the timer's designated external potentiometer terminals, an operator can adjust the relevant timing setting without accessing the internal relay directly.

The potentiometer uses a 10 kΩ linear resistance element with a 0.25 W rating. Its IP66 protection makes it suitable for appropriately designed control panel installations where protection against dust and water ingress is important. The actual timing range and available functions remain determined by the connected timer relay.

Typical Applications

• External timing adjustment for Finder 83.02 timer relays.
• Industrial electrical control panels.

• Motor control sequencing applications.
• Equipment start and stop delay adjustment.
• Packaging and manufacturing machinery.
• OEM industrial control equipment.
• Building services automation panels.
• Electrical cabinet door-mounted controls.
• Maintenance and replacement of compatible external timer potentiometers.
