Maximum Load wattage on Dayton is 1 amp.
So timer will work with 10 watt load.

Push button is 120Volt.

Can you use a photo eye or motion sensor to act as a push button

Yes. You only have to identify the C,NO and NC wires on the motion detector and connect them to the timer.

We have a 1EGD1 dayton timer delay relay what is the wiring diagram

Open following link to identify timer:
http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/search.shtml?searchQuery=1EGD1&op=search&Ntt=1EGD1&N=0&sst=subset

This is typical 8 pin delay timer relay.
The wiring diagram appears on side of the timer.
Open following link for example how to wire 8-pin timer.
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/Connect-relay-to-timer.jpg

Example shows 24Volt, but 120Volt wires exactly the same.
The timer is 120Volts. So connect power to terminals 2 and 7.
Other terminals are dry, and receive no power when 120V is connected to 2 and 7.
In the example wiring, the objective is to have power connected to Load at all times except when timer activates. So power is connected to terminal 1 and Load wire is connected to terminal 6.
If the objective was to have power connected to Load only when timer turns ON, then connect power to terminal 1 and connect Load wire to terminal 3.

You want 3 minute 'off delay' timer.
When timer is energized with push button or momentary electrical signal, circuit remains ON for set amount of time, and then turns OFF.

Most delay timers have 1 amp capacity rating, so circuit needs fast acting 1 amp fuse, and timer controls separate relay or contactor unless Load is equal to 100 watt light bulb.

I am looking for a multi function relay similar to the Dayton (1)6A855 but with a 240vac input not 120vac input. Can you assist please. Regards Bruce Peters

8) Not wanting to say what already know, but each 240V circuit is made from two out-of-phase 120V lines. Any 240Volt Load can be turned OFF by turning off one of the 120V lines. In this way, the Dayton 120V timer can be used to control 240V load.
Also the 120V Dayton can operate 120V double-pole contactor, and then the contactor controls 240V Load.

On terminals 6 & 7 do you need to apply a power source? is terminal 2 the hot from breaker and #3 the neutral terminal?

Following page has Dayton timer wiring:
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-Dayton-Off-Delay-Timer.html

Terminals 6 and 7 are wired with 120Volt power as shown.
The push button gives momentary impulse of electricity to timer.
Timer activates when impulse of electricity ends.
Timer activation turns Load ON and begins countdown.
When countdown expires, timer turns Load OFF.

Terminal 2 is 125V Hot from breaker.
Terminal 3 is Neutral.

Terminal 1 goes to Load.
Load cannot exceed 1 amp.
So Dayton timer can only control single 100 watt light bulb, or it can control 120Volt coil on contactor.
Contactor turns on Load with any voltage: 120, 240, 277, etc or 3 phase contactor.


Suggest busman in-line 1 amp fuse between terminal 1 and Load to protect timer.

Wiring. # 2 is neutral # 3 is hot in. # 1 will be hot out when 6&7close

http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-Dayton-Off-Delay-Timer.html

You are correct.
#3 is Neutral from breaker
#2 is 120Volt Hot from breaker
#1 is Black wire to load
#6 and #7 are activated with a push button

When activation takes place, the timer turns on power to the load
The timer begins a countdown
The load cannot exceed 1 amp
Power to the load remains ON until the timer countdown is finished

If you have ordinary switch instead of a push button, then you turn on the switch, and timer countdown begins after you turn the switch off.
