When setting the FUNCTION SETTING switch on the relay for the scenario, which position should it be set to?

The FUNCTION SETTING switch on the relay is crucial for determining how the relay behaves in response to input conditions. When the switch is set to the OFF DELAY position, it allows for a specific timing control where the output remains energized for a predetermined time after the input signal is removed. This is particularly useful in applications where you want a device or circuit to remain operational for a set period before shutting down, ensuring a smoother transition and preventing abrupt disruptions.

In contrast, the other functions provide different timing behaviors. For instance, the ON DELAY setting would energize the output after a set time delay once the input is activated, while the ONE SHOT option would only energize the output momentarily upon the input signal being applied. The INTERVAL setting would repeatedly energize and de-energize the output within set intervals. Therefore, for applications requiring maintained output after an input is turned off, OFF DELAY is the correct choice for effective operation.
