The Bard 8201-042 is an OEM 24 volt time delay relay with an approximate 3 minute delay that is commonly used in Bard wall mount air conditioners and related packaged equipment to control start timing and prevent nuisance cycling after a call for operation. A properly working delay relay helps protect the compressor and other loads by enforcing a brief wait period, which can improve reliability when a unit is restarting after a brief power interruption or thermostat change. If you are troubleshooting short cycling, rapid restarts, or intermittent control issues, replacing the 8201-042 with the correct Bard part number is the best way to maintain original timing and electrical compatibility. Confirm wiring and timing requirements against your Bard unit wiring diagram or service manual before ordering to ensure the relay style and delay function match your application.
Please call for available options or find replacement parts.
