Which timer type allows a cycling operation from ON to OFF based on fixed intervals?

The recycle timer is designed to perform a cycling operation between ON and OFF states based on predetermined time intervals. This type of timer allows for repetitive cycling, automatically switching between the two states after each designated time period elapses. It is particularly useful in applications where controlled periodic operations are required, such as in lighting controls, HVAC systems, or other automated processes.

In contrast, the one-shot timer operates differently by producing a single output pulse for a specific duration when triggered. It does not cycle back and forth like a recycle timer. The on-delay timer initiates a delay before turning ON the output after activation but does not return to the OFF state until manually reset or triggered. Similarly, the off-delay timer works by delaying the OFF state after the input has been deactivated, meaning it does not cycle back to ON again. The recycling function of the recycle timer makes it unique in scenarios requiring continuous looping between its two states.
