Model DGT-1

Glow timer DGT-1 is designed for applications employing pre-glow & after glow systems where a voltage dropping resistor or after glow is already present in the vehicle.

Model DGT-2

Glow timer DGT-2 is designed for applications where glow plug after glow is not provided & is required, or where the existing after glow system is damaging the plugs.

The timer provides a single output, which is constant voltage during pre-glow, but switches to pulsed output for after glow.

The pulsed output (typically 2 seconds on - 2 seconds off) doesn't allow the plugs to reach full heat during the on period nor full cold during the off period.

This reduces stress on the glow plugs while generating heat to aid cold engine running.'

After Glow Pulse Period:
The glow plugs are pulsed on & off during the after glow period (0 - 120 seconds).

This pulse period is factory set at 2 seconds on - 2 seconds off. However it can be changed by opening the timer case & accessing the the pre-set control between the pre-glow & after glow controls. This can be varied between zero (continuous output during after glow) and 5 seconds on - 5 seconds off.
