ICM Controls ICM101F Timer

The ICM Controls ICM101F is a professional-grade delay-on-make timer designed to protect HVACR equipment from rapid short-cycling. Operating within a standard 18-30 VAC range, this solid-state control is engineered for a 5-minute fixed time delay, providing a necessary buffer for compressor stabilization and motor startup. This specific ICM101F model features 6-inch wire leads for easier integration into tight control panels and is technically identical to the ICM101FB. By staggering the startup of high-draw components, this HVAC timer relay effectively prevents power surges and reduces the risk of expensive motor failure. It is fully compatible with anticipator-type thermostats and utilizes a simple 2-wire hookup for efficient field replacement of discontinued OEMs like the Supco TD695W. Whether you are staging multiple compressors or managing a single-phase motor load, this timer ensures reliable, non-adjustable sequential operation.

• Short-Cycle Protection: Ensures a mandatory 5-minute cooldown period to prevent compressor damage during power interruptions.
• Simplified Wiring: Features a 2-wire series connection with 6-inch leads, reducing installation time in both furnace and A/C units.
• Broad Compatibility: Works seamlessly with most 24V control circuits and modern anticipator-style thermostats.
• Universal Replacement: A reliable drop-in substitute for the ICM101FB and various legacy fixed-delay timers.

Can the time delay be adjusted on the ICM101F?
No, the ICM101F is a fixed-delay model set at 5 minutes. For adjustable timing applications, consider the ICM102 series.

What is the maximum amperage rating for this relay?
This unit is rated for approximately 1 Amp steady-state current, making it ideal for controlling contactor coils and low-voltage control circuits.

Does this unit require a common wire?
No, this is a 2-wire delay-on-make timer that installs in series with the load; it does not require a secondary common connection.
