Schneider Electric LADT2 TeSys Deca On-Delay Timer Block 1-30 s

Description

LADT2: general-purpose 1 to 30 second on-delay timer block

The LADT2 is a Schneider Electric TeSys Deca time delay contact block with on-delay and a delay range of 1 to 30 seconds, one normally open and one normally closed contact, mounted on the front. It is the general-purpose on-delay timer of the group. Seven Star LLC supplies the LADT2 in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier based in Muscat.

Whereas the LADS2 carries a star-delta application note, the LADT2 datasheet lists no specific application, which makes it the neutral choice for sequencing and start delays.

LADT2 ordering notes

  • On delay with 1 to 30 s adjustable range.
  • Contacts: 1 NO + 1 NC.
  • Choose LADT4 when the delay should reach 10 to 180 s.
  • Choose LADS2 when the star-delta note is wanted.
  • Mounting depth: 61 mm.

On-delay sequencing with the LADT2

On-delay means that the contacts change state only after the time has elapsed from the energisation of the contactor. That is the tool for staggered starts: a second motor starts a few seconds after the first, so the supply does not see two inrush currents together.

It also protects equipment: a compressor or a pump may only be allowed to start after a valve has opened or a fan has reached speed.

Timer block family: the LADT2 against its siblings

The five timer blocks below share the housing and contact ratings and differ in function and range.

Reference Timer type Delay range Application noted
LADR0 Off delay 0.3 to 3 s Not stated
LADR2 Off delay 1 to 30 s Not stated
LADS2 On delay 1 to 30 s Star delta starter
LADT2 On delay 1 to 30 s Not stated
LADT4 On delay 10 to 180 s Not stated

LADT2 technical profile

The block fits on the front of TeSys D and TeSys Deca contactors and CAD relays, and on TeSys F LC1F and CR1F, which is the range compatibility line in the datasheet. It has one normally open and one normally closed time-delayed contact and measures 48 mm high, 44 mm wide and 61 mm deep. Rated operational voltage is 690 V AC at 25 to 400 Hz, thermal current is 10 A at 60 °C, rated current is 6 A at 120 V AC-15 and 1.04 A at 690 V AC-15, and the making capacity is 140 A AC. Mechanical durability is 5 Mcycles, the minimum switching level is 5 mA at 17 V, and the protection is IP20. The ambient air temperature range is -40 to 70 °C and the altitude limit is 3000 m.

LADT2 uses in Oman and the GCC

Sequential starting of pumps and fans in water treatment and HVAC systems, delayed starts after power restoration, and valve-before-pump interlocks all use on-delay contacts of this type.

On sites that rely on a diesel generator, delayed starts limit the sudden load when power returns.

Installing and verifying the LADT2

Mount, torque the terminals at 1.7 N.m, set the dial and verify with a stopwatch under the real control voltage. Note the dial position on the drawing.

Do not rely on the dial as a calibration; after a repair or a change of contactor, retest the delay.

Information to send with an RFQ for the LADT2

  • Full reference and quantity required
  • Contactor model the block mounts on
  • Delay function (on or off) and time range needed
  • Control voltage and load of the timed contacts
  • Delivery location and timing

Storage, handling and spares for the LADT2

Keep the LADT2 in its original packaging in a dry, dust-free store until installation, and check the label against the order before fitting. For plants that run continuously, holding one spare unit on site shortens downtime if a replacement is needed during a shutdown or after a fault. Record the reference and installation date in the maintenance log so the next order can be placed quickly.

Documents and quotation

A datasheet for the LADT2 is attached on this page. It carries the electrical, mechanical and environmental data summarised above, so the figures can be checked against your drawings.

Send the part number, quantity and application and we will confirm availability and a quotation. Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier in Muscat and is not affiliated with the manufacturer.

About brand

Schneider Electric is the French group for energy management and industrial automation: low and medium voltage switchgear and circuit breakers, motor control, drives, PLCs, power monitoring, UPS systems and building management. Its history goes back to 1836, when the brothers Adolphe and Eugène Schneider took over the iron and steel works at Le Creusot in Burgundy. Over the 20th century the company left steel and heavy engineering and became an electrical group through acquisitions such as Merlin Gerin, Télémécanique, Square D and Modicon. Its head office is in Rueil-Malmaison near Paris, and its shares are listed on Euronext Paris.

Milestones

  • 1836: The Schneider brothers acquire the Le Creusot works; the business grows in steel, locomotives and heavy engineering.
  • 1975: First investment in Merlin Gerin, a French maker of electrical distribution equipment.
  • 1988–1992: Télémécanique, Square D (USA) and Merlin Gerin join the group, making it an electrical specialist.
  • 1997: Modicon, the company behind the first programmable logic controller, joins the group.
  • 1999: The group takes the name Schneider Electric.
  • 2007 and 2014: APC (UPS and data centre power) and Invensys (process automation) are acquired.

Choosing Schneider Electric breakers and motor control

Circuit breakers are chosen by current and breaking capacity. Acti9 miniature circuit breakers (iC60, C120) protect final circuits up to 125 A. ComPacT NSX molded case breakers cover about 16 to 630 A, and the letter after the frame size sets the breaking capacity: B, F, N, H, S, L from lowest to highest. MasterPacT air circuit breakers are used as main incomers on large switchboards. For motors, a TeSys contactor with an LRD overload relay or a GV2 motor circuit breaker suits direct starting, an Altistart soft starter reduces starting current, and an Altivar drive controls speed. The breaking capacity must always be at least the prospective short-circuit current at the point of installation.

Where Schneider Electric products are used

In Oman and the GCC, Schneider Electric equipment is found in main and sub-main switchboards of commercial and residential buildings, motor control centres in water, oil and gas and industrial plants, substations protected by Sepam and Easergy relays, data centres powered by Galaxy and APC UPS systems, and buildings controlled by EcoStruxure Building Operation.

APC by Schneider Electric: UPS and critical power

Since 2007, APC has been part of Schneider Electric and is now its product brand for uninterruptible power supplies, replacement batteries, battery packs, network management cards and rack power distribution. Our APC catalogue covers Smart-UPS line-interactive and on-line models, Easy UPS On-Line, the modular Symmetra LX, RM and PX ranges, Silcon three-phase systems and their spare part kits, and the RBC cartridges that keep them running. Schneider Electric breakers, drives and PLCs can be quoted together with APC UPS systems in one request.

Ordering Schneider Electric products: what we need

Send the commercial reference from the label (for example LC1D18M7 or ATV320U22N4C). For breakers, confirm the rated current, number of poles, breaking capacity and trip unit. For contactors, give the coil voltage. For drives, give the motor power and supply voltage. APC products are listed on their own brand page.
