Product Overview
The Omron H3DS-ML is a compact 17.5 mm DIN-rail multi-mode timer from the Omron H3DS family. manufactured by Omron Corporation. Hengyixin Automation stocks this timer / counter at our Xiamen warehouse; orders placed before 14:00 CST ship same business day.
It is the broadest-coverage timer in the Hengyixin catalogue — eight timing functions selectable from the front dial, eight overlapping time ranges from 0.1 s to 120 hours, and a single universal supply that accepts 24 to 230 VAC or 24 to 48 VDC. The 'ML' suffix decodes as: 'M' for multi-mode (eight timing functions), 'L' for the locking dial feature that prevents inadvertent change of the time-range or mode setting.
The latter two ranges stretch the timer to its 120 h ceiling for weekend off-delay applications and pump-station purge cycles.
Key Features
- SPDT output, 5 A at 250 VAC / 30 VDC resistive
- 17.5 mm wide DIN-rail enclosure — half the width of standard H3 timers
- Universal supply: 24 to 230 VAC and 24 to 48 VDC on the same unit
- Eight overlapping time ranges from 0.1 s to 120 h, including star-delta transfer time
- SKU: H3DS-ML
- Series: H3DS (DIN-rail mounted solid-state timer)
- Voltage: 24 TO 230 VAC
Best-Fit Applications
- Heater pre-heat before machine start — long ON-delay on packaging-machine shrink tunnels
- Conveyor restart time delay after E-stop — ON-delay prevents instant restarts that crowd workers into moving parts
- Pump station purge cycle — interval mode retriggers the timer every 24 hours to cycle solenoid flushing valves
Buying Checklist
- Pick the H3DS-FL for star-delta only with star-to-delta transfer
- Pick the H3DS-SL when you need only 24 VAC/DC supply
- Pick the H3DS-AL when you need AC-only timing without control input

FAQ for H3DS-ML
How do I know which timing mode is currently selected on the H3DS-ML?
The mode dial is on the front face behind a flip-up window. The current mode is printed on the dial: 'A' = ON-delay, 'B' = ON-delay with control input, 'C' = OFF-delay, 'D' = Flicker-OFF start, 'E' = Flicker-ON start, 'F' = Interval, 'G' = One-shot, 'Y' = Star-delta. The label is printed in a window next to the dial, and the timer comes with a quick-reference card that lists the timing chart for each mode.
Can the H3DS-ML be used to start a 22 kW motor in star-delta?
Yes — the Star-delta mode (Y) is the classical motor starting sequence. Wire the SPDT contact in series with the delta contactor; the timer's transfer time is the star-to-delta pause and is settable on the 0.1 to 1 s range for typical 30–100 ms transitions. Set the time range to the slowest setting that ensures the motor has pulled into star synchronism — usually 5 to 8 seconds for 22 kW.
What replaces the older H3CR-H8L timer?
The H3DS-ML is the direct replacement for the discontinued H3CR-H8L (8-mode, 11-pin plug-in timer) and H3CR-A8 (8-mode, 11-pin with control input) — it offers identical 8 timing functions in a half-width 17.5 mm DIN-rail package instead of the H3CR's 22.5 mm plug-in body. If the panel was wired for 11-pin octal socket, add the Y92F-78 8-pin to 11-pin adapter or move the wiring to a screw-terminal block.
Why is there a 230 VAC supply option on a 24 VDC timer?
Industrial panels commonly mix 24 VDC control circuits with 230 VAC power for contactor coils. The H3DS-ML AC/DC version accepts both, which means panel builders don't have to specify two different timers for each voltage. The internal power supply uses a switching regulator, so input voltage variation has negligible effect on timing accuracy.
