MARS solid state delay on break timers are designed to prevent short cycling of air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump compressors. Upon application of power the load is energized. When the thermostat opens, or if there is a momentary loss of power, the load is de-energized and the delay period begins. The compressor will not start again during the delay period. MARS number 32392 is a versatile three wire timer that features adjustable timing and can be used with any voltage from 19 thru 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz.
