Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BORG from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the BORG TA-4150 and TA-4151 electromechanical timer switches?
The BORG TA-4150 is a 24-hour cycle timer, while the TA-4151 is a 7-day cycle timer. Both are panel cover-mounted electromechanical switches with SPST configuration and 120V AC operation. The TA-4150 supports up to 48 On/Off cycles maximum, and the TA-4151 supports up to 42 On/Off cycles maximum. The choice depends on the scheduling period required: daily repeat or weekly programming.
What are the contact ratings for the BORG TA4180A digital panel meter?
The BORG TA4180A features a single-pole single-throw normally open (SPST-NO) relay contact rated at 15A at 120V AC. It operates on 120V AC and has a 9,999 count span with an LED display. Termination is via push-on tabs. This relay output can switch loads within the specified rating, making it suitable for control or alarm functions in panel installations.
Is the BORG 49150-00 face plate compatible with other BORG timers?
The BORG 49150-00 face plate is specifically designed for the BORG TA4180A digital interval countdown timer. It provides a mounting interface and protective cover for that model. Compatibility with other BORG timers is not indicated in the product specifications. For other timer models, consult the respective product documentation to determine if a face plate accessory is available.
What mounting style do BORG electromechanical timer switches use?
BORG electromechanical timer switches, such as the TA-4150 and TA-4151, are panel cover-mounted. This means they are installed on the exterior of an electrical panel cover, allowing users to adjust or monitor the timer without opening the enclosure. The mounting style is specified as panel cover mount, which is distinct from flush panel mounting or DIN rail mounting.
Can BORG timer switches be used for lighting control?
Yes, BORG electromechanical timer switches are commonly used for scheduling lighting, HVAC, and other loads. The TA-4150 provides 24-hour scheduling, and the TA-4151 provides 7-day scheduling. Both are SPST switches rated at 120V AC. They are suitable for resistive or inductive loads within their contact ratings. For loads exceeding the switch rating, an external contactor or relay should be used.
What is the count span of the BORG TA4180A digital panel meter?
The BORG TA4180A has a maximum count of 9,999. This count span is displayed on an LED readout. The meter is used for time-based counting or interval measurement in industrial panels. The 9,999 count provides resolution for many timing and counting applications. The meter operates on 120V AC and includes an SPST-NO relay output rated 15A at 120V AC.
