CHRONOS RICHARDSON Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full CHRONOS RICHARDSON product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Chronos Interval Timers
Electromechanical and solid-state interval timers for process sequencing and cycle control. Common faults include contact deterioration, timing inaccuracy, and relay coil failure under industrial voltage fluctuations typical in Indian facilities.
Drum Timers and Cam Sequencers
Rotary drum and cam-based timing controllers for multi-stage industrial processes. Failures typically involve worn contacts, motor synchronisation loss, and erratic cam switch activation in high-vibration plant environments.
Digital Time Delay Modules
Modern solid-state delay and pulse timing units for automated control systems. Common issues include capacitor degradation, output relay stiction, and firmware/logic errors under load surge conditions.
Control Relays and Interface Modules
Heavy-duty industrial relays for switching, interlocking, and signal conditioning. Typical faults are coil burnout, contact arc-welding, and intermittent switching due to vibration and thermal cycling.
Synchronisation Control Units
Precision timing modules for synchronised multi-motor and multi-phase equipment control. Faults include phase-lag detection errors, clock drift, and input signal misalignment causing process misfire.

Common CHRONOS RICHARDSON Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in CHRONOS RICHARDSON equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Contact pitting and arcing on timer contacts — Chronos Richardson electromechanical timers experience severe contact wear under high inrush currents and frequent switching in Indian industrial environments. Voltage spikes from transformer switching and DG set harmonics accelerate deterioration.
- ✓Timing inaccuracy and drift beyond tolerance — Worn timing gears, motor slip, and thermal expansion in drum timers cause timing deviation. Indian ambient temperature fluctuations and inadequate cooling in plant enclosures aggravate timing creep.
- ✓Relay coil burnout and open circuit — Chronos Richardson control relays fail due to sustained voltage overshoot, inadequate suppression diodes, or coil insulation breakdown from moisture ingress and thermal cycling in Indian humid climates.
- ✓Cam switch intermittent operation and missed sequences — Accumulated dust, lubricant contamination, and mechanical play in drum timer cam mechanisms cause unreliable switching. Vibration from nearby heavy machinery loosens cam positioning.
- ✓Digital module output relay stiction and failure to energise — Chronos Richardson solid-state modules suffer stuck relay contacts due to inrush surge, solder cold-joints under vibration, or thyristor gate drive failure in high-noise industrial environments.
- ✓Loss of synchronisation between multi-unit systems — Clock skew, missing input signal conditioning, or phase reference misalignment in Chronos synchronisation units causes coordinated equipment to drift. Common in Indian textile mills and pharmaceutical batch processes.

Frequently Asked Questions — CHRONOS RICHARDSON Repairs
Do you repair Chronos Richardson equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full Chronos Richardson product range including interval timers, drum controllers, digital delay modules, control relays, and synchronisation units. We offer PAN India door pickup and express parcel service from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, and 50+ other cities. All repairs are handled at our Vadodara, Gujarat facility with 24-48 hour turnaround.
What is typical repair cost and turnaround time for a Chronos Richardson timer module?+
Standard repair of Chronos interval timers or control relays costs INR 3,500-8,500 depending on fault complexity and component availability. Express service (same-day diagnosis, next-day repair) is available for critical plant shutdowns. Non-destructive testing and contact analysis are included free. Most units are returned within 2-3 working days.
Can Chronos Richardson drum timers be repaired or must they be replaced?+
Chronos drum timers are highly repairable. Synchronics refurbishes cam mechanisms, replaces worn contacts and micro-switches, recalibrates motor speed, and restores timing accuracy. We carry stock replacement drum assemblies and motor modules. Refurbished units are re-calibrated and 100% tested, costing 40-50% less than new units while delivering equivalent performance and warranty.
How do I know if my Chronos Richardson timer is failing?+
Watch for: (1) Timing drift exceeding +/- 1% from set value, (2) Intermittent relay chatter or failure to energise, (3) Burnt contact smell or visible corrosion, (4) Grinding noise in drum mechanisms, (5) Erratic switching of downstream equipment. If you observe any of these signs, send the unit to Synchronics for free diagnostic testing and fault report.
Do you stock Chronos Richardson spare parts and modules in Vadodara?+
Yes. Synchronics maintains inventory of common Chronos Richardson replacement modules including contact assemblies, coils, relay packs, and drum motor units. We can source original UK Chronos parts within 5-7 days if stock is unavailable. For urgent repairs, we supply Indian equivalent components tested for compatibility and performance with original Chronos specifications.
How do I send my CHRONOS RICHARDSON unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a CHRONOS RICHARDSON drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on CHRONOS RICHARDSON repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your CHRONOS RICHARDSON unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
