What are the mounting options for the Fuji 1/16 DIN super timers?
You can mount the timer either as a 'through the door' or as a back-panel timer. There are two different sockets for this and you must order an extra mounting clip for the 'through the panel' configuration.
The TP411X and TP48X sockets will allow you to mount the appropriate timer on a 35mm DIN rail or directly to a backplane. The TP411SBA and TP48SB sockets will mount to the back of the timer when it's installed in an enclosure door, but you also need to order the PANEL-16 mounting clip to hold the timer flush against the enclosure.

Do you have any timers that will alternate the state of their contacts continously; turning them on and off, repetitively?
The CTT Series Timers can be used. They have the ability to use separate on and off times but the on time must be longer than the off time. You can swap which relay contacts are used to reverse the on and off time.
The MS4SM Fuji 1/16 DIN super timer family has a FLICKER mode, which will alternate the state of the contacts ON and OFF cyclically, but the ON and OFF time are the same time, set by the dial on the face.
