Product Overview
The SECO-LARM SA-025Q is a versatile timer relay module for access-control and security installations that need more timing control than a basic switch can provide. In a gate or door system, it may be used to extend a trigger, create a timed output, control a warning device, manage an electric strike release period, or add a simple timing function to an auxiliary circuit. DIP switches make it easier to configure in the field without cutting traces or replacing the main panel.
This module is most useful when the equipment already has the proper control input but needs a timed relay between the trigger source and the controlled device. For example, it can help turn a momentary input into a timed output or coordinate a siren, bell, strike, or auxiliary relay. The SA-025Q should be matched to the correct voltage and relay load. It is not a substitute for a listed delayed-egress controller where code requires one, and it should not be used to bypass egress or gate safety functions.
Compatible With
Commonly used with select electric strikes, electromagnetic lock control circuits, exit buttons, access-control panels, sirens, bells, alarm annunciators, gate operator auxiliary inputs, and low-voltage automation circuits needing a programmable timing relay. It may be used where the connected equipment accepts relay control and the circuit is within the module rating. Verify voltage, trigger type, output behavior, and code requirements before ordering.

Technician Note
Choose the SA-025Q when a general programmable timer relay is needed. For delayed egress door hardware, use the correct delayed-egress model and follow all applicable code requirements.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the installation needs a general timer relay, not a 7-day or 365-day schedule timer.
- Verify 12/24 VDC power availability.
- Check the relay contact rating against the connected load.
- Confirm the timing mode and trigger behavior needed at the site.
- Do not use this module to defeat fire, egress, or gate safety functions.
Professional Advisory
Access-control and gate wiring should be performed with the power disconnected and with the system wired according to the operator, lock, or access-control manual. Do not bypass required safety devices. For high-voltage circuits, delayed egress code requirements, or unsafe gate movement, use a qualified gate or access-control technician.
Product Questions
How is the SA-025Q different from the SA-026Q?
The SA-025Q is a larger multi-purpose programmable timer with DIP-switch setup, while the SA-026Q is a smaller adjustable mini timer for simpler short delay functions.
Can the SA-025Q control an electric strike?
Yes, it is commonly used with electric strike control circuits when the voltage, relay rating, and access-control design are correct.
Is this a weekly schedule timer?
No. For weekly scheduling, use a product such as the SA-027WQ. The SA-025Q is for trigger-based timing functions.
Can it be used with a gate operator input?
It may be used with a compatible gate operator control input, but it must not bypass monitored safety or entrapment protection.
How is it programmed?
The SA-025Q uses DIP switches to set timing functions and relay behavior.
