For those looking for infinite ON-OFF-ON-OFF cycle without needing a trigger signal, look at 11:48 for program number 3. NOTE: 1. When your are setting the time in program 3, if you set the time "OFF' first (by setting the time while it's in off mode), then, it will also START in the 'off' mode every time you power it up. 2. If you set the "ON" time FIRST, then (by setting the time while it's in "ON" mode), then, it will always start in "ON" mode every time you power it up.
Steven Lee dude it does not matter how many light bulbs you use as long as the total amperage does not exceed 10 amps. If it does use a solid state relay triggered by this module.
Thankyou for your video i had just bought the relay but it came with no instructions but after seeing you video it has made the operation so easy Thankyou
Thank you when I ordered this same product it only gave me a diagram for using the same battery for the timer and a device which is not what I need and it wasn't working. Im doing the same thing only with a fan, your advice made it work perfectly!
Brilliant explanation. Without your help would never have understood the detailed instructions as translated. I am using it in P6 to power a DPDT relay to reverse current for a model tram shuttle (auto back and forth). In test with LEDS (in parallel with reverse polarity) it flips/reverses current well to the exact time. However, the screen goes blank after the first switch, while the current reversal and timer continue to work. Disconnect the DPDT then apply power and the display works fine. I have tried diodes, separate power supply etc., but it seems to not like the surge required to start the DPDT coil or the surge when DPDT coil power is cut.
Nice explanation. I had procured this PCB board it's cheap and best for delay timer automation. For more durability of pcb you can give input power and trigger signal both in 5 vdc instead of giving 12 vdc. Reason is there is no heatsink attached with voltage regulator ic which is converting 12 v into 5 v. If we apply 12 v input then excess heat will damage the voltage regulator IC. Input Upto 6 v 0.5A max will increase the durability and stability of this board even if it is used for continuous operations 24x7. Relay build quality is very nice it can withstand more than in household voltage and current ratings. No issue in operating heavy loads through relay. One good protection is provided through opto couplers ics for reverse bias protection and reverse current flow protection. Overall I can say it's a industrial standard design.
Outstanding explanation of the abilities and practical uses, thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge of this device. I will be using this to control my dust collection system in my wood shop. I will use P-4 to be a delay to run my blower motor off after a few seconds after I have turned off the tool that started the DC system. This module will turn on a solid state relay since my DC system draws more that 10 amps. As for the trigger part of the project I will use a current tap to trigger this module.
This helped me a lot. Thank you. Have a different timer module. 4 digits. 12vdc input without trigger and NCNOCom out. Same functionality. Searched everywhere on how to change the timing range. Glad I saw this video. 😍
I ended up using one of these and it triggers but the dc motor im connecting on the right side doesn't spin at all. What I have going on is a 9v battery connected into a bread board then a wire coming from the power of the 9v on the bread board to the top left and a wire connected to the ground of the 9v on the battery going to the bottom left and a wire in the middle left that triggers from a signal from a push button to the middle left. (signal works because countdown enables on this module when the button is pressed) and on the right side i've tried 1 wire in the breadboard ground from the 9v from the dc motor and the other wire of the dc motor in the middle right or even top right of the module with a power wire coming from the 9v on the breadboard on the bottom right but it doesn't ever trigger the dc motor like it's not getting any power. I've tried taking the wire from the bottom right and touching the middle right where the wire from the dc motor is connected and it does not trigger. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks!
P-2 seems to work differently for the 4 digit unit ie P-2 can be used to close a circuit for a specified time immediately after powering up this handy little unit
Fantastic video, thank you very much for the time you took to explain this with your clear & concise instructions. In P1 mode can I use the trigger to turn the light on and off with one momentary switch, or alternatively can I use the trigger to turn it on and remove power altogether to reset it to off with two momentary switches? I want to turn on and then turn off the light, but if the light is left on it should turn off automatically after a set time (canopy lights in a pickup bed). Thanks in anticipation.
you made me watch the video to check if I forgot to explain it. But indeed I have explained it in the video very clearly. Please watch it without skipping. I have not said anything extra on this video.This is the best tutorial ever. If you want to learn about this module, you MUST watch it fully.
Fantastic video. I have an application where I want the output to be disconnected for 120 seconds when triggered and then turn the relay on indefinitely. Can I do this with P1 by changing the wiring around on the output?

But what happens when the module gets power? Does it do whatever function it is set to, or does it HAVE to be triggered? I need a module that when power is applied it turns on for a few seconds the turns off.
Thanks for your nice video, i use this timer but found one problem, i use it as delay power on for my refrigerator ( 220 volt ,400 Watt) use delay for 300 second, which is work properly but when power goes and resume then the load flash for a second i mean relay on for a second then off and count down begin, how can i avoid it. I use here in P-1 mode my adapter is 12 volt DC, trigger pin connected to + DC terminal.
You are welcome. when you say "power goes and resumes" is it unexpected "goes and resumes" ? if so this device doesn't have another timer to do this. If this power disruption is due to power blackout , then you have to have another relay module between this and your fridge to prevent it it from doing this.
Thanks for your update, I'm also thinking to add another Relay module, sometimes in my place when weather is too bad, then power ups and down frequently, so i need a delay for safe my electrical gadget , primarily its working fine.
I want to turn the device on for 30 seconds without the trigger bypassing this timer and after the 30 seconds have gone it should shut off the device. Then if there is no trigger, then turn it back on immediately and run 30 seconds timer as before, however, if the trigger existed after 30 seconds then keep the device off until the trigger ceases to exist. Is it possible? Thanks.
Quick Question. I need to use P2. Can the the unit receiving power be the trigger (there is no separate trigger). I am using it in a car. so when the car is turned on that is the time the timer receives the power and i want that to be the trigger as will for P2.
Hi Ahmad, I'm truly new to all this, but I have to finish a project that involves this type of mechanism, though the one I need has to have a • physically separated switch • a small beeper for sound • a timer of 1-15 seconds The idea is that once I regulate the timer, let's say to around 9 seconds, I will be able to press the switch, and the sound beeper will make a beep sound after 9 seconds. I would do this continuously. I would be truly appreciative for your guidance in figuring out which one I need to buy online, probably from Amazon or from any place I can buy it from. Regards, CJ
Hi this is so helpful. For my project I’m using this 12v relay but I’m only connection it to a 5v solar power manager. Will this mean that it won’t work cus it needs to be connected to a 12v power supply?
Hello I have found your video very helpful but I still have a problem. I have wired identical to the video but I have no output power. The green led illuminates on the timer ok and goes out but my external light won’t come on. Any help would be appreciated
If I want to use this circuit to rotate motor in clockwise and anticlockwise direction by up and down switch with single circuit than is it possible? If yes than how?
Great video bro ...one quick question..i need a timer that comes on at a specific time of the day but for only 5 seconds...can you recommend one please
hi, great video and excellent presentation style. pls let me know say we hv set to program 3, continuous loop. what if this unit is switched off and then switched ON.... will it operate as per last setting. meaning the looping P3 program ?
Hello I bought one off these but in p_4 the relay is open and when the trigger is applied the countdown starts and turns off. If the trigger is removed it turns on again. Can you explain that?
Hi,i have a problem with the bord...if the bord isn't running any program it's switched off.... i want to make the board to wait for the trigger signal then run the program,any advices?
HI, Hope you will answer my question, a long time ago a Video was uploaded. Asking about 10A, does this mean that the relay must not receive more than 10A or the consumer must not be more than 10A? Sorry for my English, i hope u understand. Thank u :)
Great tutorial. I'm going to use this for a delay power off of my car stereo, which is older and doesn't have the delayed time off found in newer cars. P-2 program seems to be the one to use, just set the off trigger to zero and the time I want delayed to whatever I want. Thanks again.
@@mikescotese620 Yes, I got it to work. What I did was put a fuse block that I could connect everything aftermarket behind the dash I had power to it. You may just have a radio, I have a few other things. I ran power directly to the battery via a relay. This device controls the relay. It works great, but now my radio is powered for however many seconds I've programmed it for, which is fine if your in the vehicle for ~5 mins. But if you just get out, radio is still running until the timer stops. Now I need to put another relay, smaller one, to have the door opening, dome light comes on, to stop power to this timer and shut down the radio. I'm going to do the second relay soon and then everything should work as I first envisioned it. A few hoops to jump through, but doable. The program I used, I think, is the one where there is a delay start. Timer off for a period of time, I have it at zero seconds, and then the powered on for however long you want it on. Hope this helps.
Many thanks for the reply. I finally got it figured out. For radio delay turn off just use P4. Works great on the bench now just need to transfer it to my Jeep. Thanks again!
so I have 2 timers and one if I hit the signal while its counting down it will cancel the timer but the 2nd one I have will just restart the timer vs canceling it, how do I make it cancel the timer like the 1st one?
I believe I have demonstrated it . If it was LOW to HIGH then it won’t have affect if stays there . I don’t remember what I did but watching video will give you the answer as I used diagram yo explain it
complimernti per il video, faccio una domanda, se il modulo si può alimentare direttamente da un pannello fotovoltaico, capisco la variabilità della tensione, per alimentare una piccola pompa per acqua? la pompa deve funzionare solo di giorno quando c'è luce per il pannello, ringrazio per la risposta
Nice I got this to control the input signal from my turn signal to a controller that controls my cameras I installed for my blindspots. I basically had it figured out but it's nice to hear it from someone who knows what they're talking about. I saw something on Amazon where I bought it that you can program it on the internet. How do you do that?
Ok, i no nowt about relays etc, looking for motorbike, Wheni put the kick stand down, i want 4 led lights to light up for ex amount of time then switch off. Is this the gadget i need to add?.. Cheers Mark. 👻
Nice video, well made. I have another board like that vhm-013. Has only two connectors. One for +_12v and one for the relais. Would you know how I can trigger the timer with this one?
All the features have been explained. If you can't find the feature you are looking for, then it doesn't' have it. Use Arduino and program it exactly the way you want. this is for people who have limited expectation.
I am using program P-3 and I want to have a 600 second off and a 0.2 second on time. How can I set the timer to do this? When I change the 2nd parameter to 0.2 seconds the 1st (or off time) goes to 60.0 seconds. What am I doing wrong?
Can you explain more on P.2. What if never remove the trigger at P.2. How is it going to perform? delay switch on as normal, after switch on the timer stop counting to turn off until trigger remove? Because i wan to use it at amplifier as delay switch on and delay switch off with trigger.
@@robojax Thanks first, what I mean is at 10.03 after you touch the trigger you straight away remove the trigger as shown, what I want to know is if the trigger havn't remove until switch on, what will happen to the device.
Thanks for introducing the excellent timer. Presentation is excellent too. BTW, the video was uploaded long time ago still I would like to ask a question. My question is that what will happen to a program when the power is off? Is the program will remain in the timer even the power is off? Thanks.
so you basically require three connections? one for powering up this relay. second to trigger the timer function and third for the appliance connected to COM, NO or NC? isn't that a bit messy?
Excellent explanation I just ordered the 999 minute one from Amazon I'm going to use it for 12-volt DC I have an Factory time delay relay in the Machine but it's only good for 30 seconds and then my radio shuts off they never wired and accessory switch into the key so I must have it on to run the radio but at the same time it runs the electric power steering I'm going to use the trigger from the factory time delay to trigger this relay I can program it so the radio will stay up for 1 hour with the key off
Hi , if we need a timer that connect or disconnect circuits after 6 hours what should we do? What should we buy? As I realized, this module go up to 999 s at last.
Hi sir robojax... what is the exact name of this module sir... want to buy one sir.. hope u can send the details of this eelay sir. Ty ang more power..😊
Hi, I need to turn on an led strip (12v) for one second and when it turns off turn a different one for one second and alternating those two. Which module is suitable for this purpose? Thank you
Thank you so much for the detailed information. I've managed to connect the relay to my Dahua Intercom which is connected to a electric door strike. I managed to power the relay and got the trigger working so that it start counting down in P-1 settings. However, when connecting my 2-wire electric door strike - it doesn't seem to receive any power. The LED light does come on when the trigger is activated & last throughout the countdown but no power seems to be going to the door strike. Any idea why?
You are very welcome. Are you saying that you connected your door strike, instead of the bulb shown in video and it is not turning ON and OFF? if relay clicks and hear it, then your wiring is incorrect. I assume your door device is functioning. test it without connecting it to this module. Connect another load AC or DC bulb and test it. Perhaps the relay connectors on the module are bad. good luck.
@@robojax Thanks for the update and got this sorted as I forgot to connect the power source for the electric door strike. Once again, much appreciated your speedy reply and follow-up.
Does your video feature how you set a DELAY >>RelayOn forever setup??? Couldn't understand if this simple delay to always on is set on this. Many thanks.
the "forever" if available I should have mentioned it . I never leave anything when I explain and review modules. so watch the video fully to get answer.
Hello Robojax, thank you for your detailed video. I bought the timer, not realizing, that the trigger ALWAYS has turn off in order to make the timer start and let a lamp turn off after some seconds. Is there a way, to accomplish that with this relais?: Trigger: turn on the lamp - wait 5 seconds - turn off the lamp. The state of the trigger would be irrelevant. If this is not possible with this relais, do you know a relais with that I can do this? I would be very thankful If you could / would help me. thanks a lot. Andrew
Hello and welcome. if the trigger is the issue, you can change the trigger signal use this circuit very easily snipboard.io/vERWPt.jpg I have move timers with both HIGH and LOW trigger types. I try to explain everything but don't remember now which one is which as I have over 400 videos as of now and hard to track them. Good luck.
Robojax Hello Robojax, thanks alot for answering. Well the trigger isnt really the problem, it works. The problem is, that the trigger doesn‘t turn off automatically. This wouldn‘t be a problem if the timer (P-2) would start immediately after the trigger was recognized. The problem is, that the relais waits for the trigger signal to turn off. But in my case this will never happen. Therefore I cant use this relais. Is there really no way of acheiving this? ☹️
you are right. use some kond of IC socket, remove the dispaly, insert the socket, and then insert the display. Not sure but this is one way to braing the display up.
Hi Robojax, Very good and informative tutorials. The P-3 function goes into an infinite loop right? Does it stop if the trigger signal is activated? Thanks
i am sorry to answer you question, I would have to watch the video. So you better watch as I have over 260 videos and don't remember. To the best of knowledge, I have left nothing that you need to know. So watch it again, pay attention and do NOT escape the time.
Now I need something like that but if I keep trigger pressed I would like the time to start to count.. so either a short contact or a long contact timer must run no matter state of switch. Any ideas?
All possible functions have been explained. If you watched the video fully and did not find what you were looking for, then it can’t do it. Please watch.
Hi Robojax, Thank you for a wonderful explanation. I want to ask if this module can be programmed to work in minutes rather than seconds? I want to automate something to work for a minute or so for once or twice per 24 hrs.
I'm trying to hook mine to a 12v lipo for the input to trigger a light to come on. I got the device to preform the countdown when triggered but it's not activating the light. Do you have a video on how to operate this with a DC power source? Thank you.
Sorry I did not understand. I have explained it but let me tell you again. This board has INPUT and your device or vibration device has OUTPUT. So if your device give voltage at OUTPUT, then connect it to this module INPUT, it should work.
Trigger is part of program. The example I have given in this video should answer any question you have unless it is impossible to do it with this module.
Hi. Thanks very much for the video. Is there a similar circuit that can be automatically turned ON for 10-15mins and then OFF for 1 hour and then repeat this cycle? Thanks
Does this keep the settings if you disconnect all the power sources on it or do you have to set everything if you loose your power and grounds to the module?
Message:Thank you for your informative and helpful video: I purchased this device from you. In the video, when using P1 you demonstrate that the input signal can be momentary, or continuous and the relay shuts off as programmed. On the unit I received, the momentary works, but if the signal is continuous it does not shut off. It instantly resets and the timer runs down again until this signal is disconnected. Please advise. thanks
@@robojax i just noticed in your video that the module you have did the same thing when continuous power was applied to signal it started the cycle over
I have bought this unit, but I need a delay relay that when 12v power comes on, it delays about 10seconds and then triggers the relay that controls a 240volts water pump. I think I bought the wrong product, can you recommend the right circuit I need? Thanks for your help.
Hi Robojax I would like to know what is the minimum voltage needed to triger the divice? is it 4v - 20v? I am trying to use the device with a sencor that says it can give max 200mA. It is not working. I was looking also to use an infared sensor or an ultrasonic sescor . i have the module that you have and i want to use it like a simple secutity system..... please upload a video with what kind of sensors we need to triger the devise ....what is the diffr. with possive and negative triger? this devise says it works with possitive but the sencor that i have says that sents negative..... Any help or idies? Thank a lot and great video by the way......
Hi Dimitris, As I mentioned at 1:25 (click on the 1:25. I had to watch the video to find it) it is triggered at 5V. Anyting above up to 12 should be find. It doesn't need much current perhaps less than 1mA. If you want to change input signal from negative to positive, you would need a transistor and 2 resistors. but I would suggest using Arduino with relay which gives you very wide options to work with. Here I just made this circuit if you want to convert the signal from positive to negative snag.gy/vERWPt.jpg
Unless I set this up, I will not know. But for sure at the best of knowledge, I have not left any feature without explaining. So watch it fully without skipping, I am sure you will find the answer.
Will its time value hold whenever power resumes after interruption? or get reset to zero ? Should I have to use inverter supply to hold its current value in P 1.1 setting ?
@@robojax please clarify ur answer. Should I have to use inverter to hold last intrupted current time value OR without any inverter, the circuit will itself hold the last intrupted value ??!!! (please check yourself> because one youtuber said that it reset to zero, when power goes, so use inverter. I want to use it for 'reverse'''displaying time countdown''' in my project as time displayed in a washing machine.

Hello! Thanx for the video! I'd like to make you some questions. I want to use it on 220v(Europe) . Can it be used? And I want to use it for loop mode, ON every 8 hours for only 5 seconds and OFF again then loop the same setting. Is it possible?
Hell and you are welcome. yes you can control 220V load. I belive I have explained that. the loop as for as I know I everything this module does. I don't know it now.

Hello! Good presentation! I am interested in Programme -4 of the device. Can it be the other way around? meaning that can it be starting off when u close the circuit of the button then start and off permanently? thank you in advance!
If you look at the relay terminals, we have 3 ports which you connect your load. Yes you can. connect it to the middle and the other wire and you will get the result. Watch my other video about relay which shows how to disconnect instead of connect.
hey and thank for th vedio I want to ask you where can I find (off delay timer 12v in the market) the counter start to count when I cut the power? I mean i want it delay off..12 volt with relay when i press power the light turn on and it countinus lighting until I cut power off then the light turn off after 5second
I hope off delay means instead of turning something on, u want it off. If that’s the case then it is the wiring of this module with relay. Keep the middle wire of your load at the same terminal if the relay and move the other wife mite to the UoIT her unused terminal.
What all I want is a delay time for like 10 seconds before the light turns on and the light stays on until I turn it off? Meaning, I will only use the delay time to turn on the lights.. Is it possible?
everything this module does I have explained it. Nothing is left without explaining. So please watch it fully without skipping and you should get the answer.
For those looking for infinite ON-OFF-ON-OFF cycle without needing a trigger signal, look at 11:48 for program number 3. NOTE: 1. When your are setting the time in program 3, if you set the time "OFF' first (by setting the time while it's in off mode), then, it will also START in the 'off' mode every time you power it up. 2.

Pressing K1 in P-3 mode will change "OFF' first or "ON" first every time you power it up.
Yes you can program it.

Fantastic video. I have an application where I want the output to be disconnected for 120 seconds when triggered and then turn the relay on indefinitely. Can I do this with P1 by changing the wiring around on the output?
thanks is this any way to disable the delay time I just want to use once per use I want to use the timer for turning on and not using the cycle?
Is there any version of the same board as a unit that you can mount into a surface plate ?
there are 100s on AliExpress and eBay and most don't have a model number.
@@robojax but thats not the same module? www.amazon.de/BIlinli-Timing-Verz%C3%B6gerungsrelais-Modul-Zyklus-Timer-Digital-LED-Doppelanzeige-0-999-Minuten/dp/B07P8RB5KZ/ref=pd_sbs_60_10?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07P8RB5KZ&pd_rd_r=e1898546-5b73-4833-a604-88021dc13f3a&pd_rd_w=kp1PA&pd_rd_wg=DhjLf&pf_rd_p=42bf0ad8-ce6f-4127-a2f0-106727020a41&pf_rd_r=YHXV07ND423QH2FJAYXZ&psc=1&refRID=YHXV07ND423QH2FJAYXZ
But what happens when the module gets power? Does it do whatever function it is set to, or does it HAVE to be triggered? I need a module that when power is applied it turns on for a few seconds the turns off.
i have downloaded many of your videos so i can watch while offline
No problem.
I need a mini unit that can turn
off/on on a 0.5 second loop while the signal is closed. Maybe faster., is this unit much capable with a 1.5 amp load?
Thanks for your nice video, i use this timer but found one problem, i use it as delay power on for my refrigerator ( 220 volt ,400 Watt) use delay for 300 second, which is work properly but when power goes and resume then the load flash for a second i mean relay on for a second then off and count down begin, how can i avoid it. I use here in P-1 mode my adapter is 12 volt DC, trigger pin connected to + DC terminal.
You are welcome.
when you say "power goes and resumes" is it unexpected "goes and resumes" ? if so this device doesn't have another timer to do this. If this power disruption is due to power blackout , then you have to have another relay module between this and your fridge to prevent it it from doing this.
Thanks for your update, I'm also thinking to add another Relay module, sometimes in my place when weather is too bad, then power ups and down frequently, so i need a delay for safe my electrical gadget , primarily its working fine.
In P2 mode, can I tie the trigger and input voltage together? Meaning, I want the relay to trigger say 2 seconds after the unit is powered on.
I want to turn the device on for 30 seconds without the trigger bypassing this timer and after the 30 seconds have gone it should shut off the device. Then if there is no trigger, then turn it back on immediately and run 30 seconds timer as before, however, if the trigger existed after 30 seconds then keep the device off until the trigger ceases to exist. Is it possible? Thanks.
Quick Question. I need to use P2.
Can the the unit receiving power be the trigger (there is no separate trigger).
I am using it in a car. so when the car is turned on that is the time the timer receives the power and i want that to be the trigger as will for P2.
Hi Ahmad,
I'm truly new to all this, but I have to finish a project that involves this type of mechanism, though the one I need has to have a
• physically separated switch
• a small beeper for sound
• a timer of 1-15 seconds
The idea is that once I regulate the timer, let's say to around 9 seconds, I will be able to press the switch, and the sound beeper will make a beep sound after 9 seconds. I would do this continuously.
I would be truly appreciative for your guidance in figuring out which one I need to buy online, probably from Amazon or from any place I can buy it from.
Regards,
CJ
Hi this is so helpful. For my project I’m using this 12v relay but I’m only connection it to a 5v solar power manager. Will this mean that it won’t work cus it needs to be connected to a 12v power supply?
Hello I have found your video very helpful but I still have a problem. I have wired identical to the video but I have no output power. The green led illuminates on the timer ok and goes out but my external light won’t come on. Any help would be appreciated
If I want to use this circuit to rotate motor in clockwise and anticlockwise direction by up and down switch with single circuit than is it possible? If yes than how?
Great video bro ...one quick question..i need a timer that comes on at a specific time of the day but for only 5 seconds...can you recommend one please
hi, great video and excellent presentation style. pls let me know say we hv set to program 3, continuous loop. what if this unit is switched off and then switched ON.... will it operate as per last setting. meaning the looping P3 program ?
Hey, I would to ask if this module can set the time in hour as I want to use it on led light.
Hello I bought one off these but in p_4 the relay is open and when the trigger is applied the countdown starts and turns off. If the trigger is removed it turns on again. Can you explain that?
Hi,i have a problem with the bord...if the bord isn't running any program it's switched off....
i want to make the board to wait for the trigger signal then run the program,any advices?
HI, Hope you will answer my question, a long time ago a Video was uploaded. Asking about 10A, does this mean that the relay must not receive more than 10A or the consumer must not be more than 10A?
Sorry for my English, i hope u understand.
Thank u :)
Excellent video instruction. Thank you!
I really like this timer. Can you help me on how i would install a counter.
For example i need to record how many times the light turns on.
Thanks
This is not customizable. You would need to build your own project using Arduino.
great job! i was thinking if is it possible instead of momentary switch, could we connect the xh-m609 to drive the time delay module?
Very good video, nicely explained. Do you know if the relay can be kept energised when power is applied. Thanks.
the relay only reacts when the program turns it on.
I need the same for my Europe 220v, is it the right one?
The relay work for any country. Just calculate the total power.
Where can we buy this.....
See the link in the description. We have no choice other than eBay, AliExpress or Amazon.
Oh thanks a lot! Your video saves me some time figuring this out because this module did not came with instruction manual when i bought it from China.
You are welcome. Please share this video.
Useful but I need to make a delay switch from power on - does this store the settings ?
All the settings are saved
Great tutorial. I'm going to use this for a delay power off of my car stereo, which is older and doesn't have the delayed time off found in newer cars.
P-2 program seems to be the one to use, just set the off trigger to zero and the time I want delayed to whatever I want. Thanks again.
Did you get this to work for a radio turn off delay? I don't see a program that will do this????
@@mikescotese620 Yes, I got it to work. What I did was put a fuse block that I could connect everything aftermarket behind the dash I had power to it. You may just have a radio, I have a few other things. I ran power directly to the battery via a relay. This device controls the relay. It works great, but now my radio is powered for however many seconds I've programmed it for, which is fine if your in the vehicle for ~5 mins. But if you just get out, radio is still running until the timer stops. Now I need to put another relay, smaller one, to have the door opening, dome light comes on, to stop power to this timer and shut down the radio. I'm going to do the second relay soon and then everything should work as I first envisioned it. A few hoops to jump through, but doable. The program I used, I think, is the one where there is a delay start. Timer off for a period of time, I have it at zero seconds, and then the powered on for however long you want it on. Hope this helps.
Many thanks for the reply. I finally got it figured out. For radio delay turn off just use P4. Works great on the bench now just need to transfer it to my Jeep. Thanks again!
so I have 2 timers and one if I hit the signal while its counting down it will cancel the timer but the 2nd one I have will just restart the timer vs canceling it, how do I make it cancel the timer like the 1st one?
Thank you very much robojax! I am wondering what happens if the trigger is not removed in mode P-1?
I believe I have demonstrated it . If it was LOW to HIGH then it won’t have affect if stays there . I don’t remember what I did but watching video will give you the answer as I used diagram yo explain it
@@robojax thank you for clarifying!
complimernti per il video, faccio una domanda, se il modulo si può alimentare direttamente da un pannello fotovoltaico, capisco la variabilità della tensione, per alimentare una piccola pompa per acqua? la pompa deve funzionare solo di giorno quando c'è luce per il pannello, ringrazio per la risposta
Nice I got this to control the input signal from my turn signal to a controller that controls my cameras I installed for my blindspots. I basically had it figured out but it's nice to hear it from someone who knows what they're talking about. I saw something on Amazon where I bought it that you can program it on the internet. How do you do that?
Ok, i no nowt about relays etc, looking for motorbike, Wheni put the kick stand down, i want 4 led lights to light up for ex amount of time then switch off. Is this the gadget i need to add?..
Cheers Mark. 👻
Nice video, well made. I have another board like that vhm-013. Has only two connectors. One for +_12v and one for the relais. Would you know how I can trigger the timer with this one?
If I put the 12v in the 12v+ and the minus/black to the trigger. Can I trigger the circuit with the K1 button on the board?
is it possible to keep it on for few sec and off continuously till power disconnected ? like a windscreen wiper
All the features have been explained. If you can't find the feature you are looking for, then it doesn't' have it. Use Arduino and program it exactly the way you want. this is for people who have limited expectation.
I am using program P-3 and I want to have a 600 second off and a 0.2 second on time. How can I set the timer to do this? When I change the 2nd parameter to 0.2 seconds the 1st (or off time) goes to 60.0 seconds. What am I doing wrong?
Can you explain more on P.2. What if never remove the trigger at P.2. How is it going to perform? delay switch on as normal, after switch on the timer stop counting to turn off until trigger remove? Because i wan to use it at amplifier as delay switch on and delay switch off with trigger.
to my best knowledge, I have explained all features. review all modes and find out whichever works best for you use it.
@@robojax Thanks first, what I mean is at 10.03 after you touch the trigger you straight away remove the trigger as shown, what I want to know is if the trigger havn't remove until switch on, what will happen to the device.
Thanks for introducing the excellent timer. Presentation is excellent too. BTW, the video was uploaded long time ago still I would like to ask a question. My question is that what will happen to a program when the power is off? Is the program will remain in the timer even the power is off? Thanks.
You are welcome. It keeps all the programs after you turn off the device.
Nice video. Can I use this or other model for random trigger activation? If not, hope you can share some option. Best regards.
Perhaps using Arduino you can make such random trigger. Thanks
so you basically require three connections? one for powering up this relay. second to trigger the timer function and third for the appliance connected to COM, NO or NC? isn't that a bit messy?
Was it possible to do it some other way?
Excellent explanation I just ordered the 999 minute one from Amazon I'm going to use it for 12-volt DC I have an Factory time delay relay in the Machine but it's only good for 30 seconds and then my radio shuts off they never wired and accessory switch into the key so I must have it on to run the radio but at the same time it runs the electric power steering I'm going to use the trigger from the factory time delay to trigger this relay I can program it so the radio will stay up for 1 hour with the key off
Thank you. I am glad you liked it.
Hi , if we need a timer that connect or disconnect circuits after 6 hours what should we do? What should we buy? As I realized, this module go up to 999 s at last.
Hi sir robojax... what is the exact name of this module sir... want to buy one sir.. hope u can send the details of this eelay sir. Ty ang more power..😊
Hi, I need to turn on an led strip (12v) for one second and when it turns off turn a different one for one second and alternating those two. Which module is suitable for this purpose? Thank you
you can use this, with the 2 gates, normally open and normally closed
Very good explanation, is it possible to porgamm it and then power it off and keep the setting you give it when it powers up?
Yes it keeps the setting when you lose it off.
@@robojax Thank you so much for your detailed explanation.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for the very detailed description that made my decision on buying a few for my projects.
You are welcome. I am glad you found it useful.
Thank you so much for the detailed information. I've managed to connect the relay to my Dahua Intercom which is connected to a electric door strike. I managed to power the relay and got the trigger working so that it start counting down in P-1 settings. However, when connecting my 2-wire electric door strike - it doesn't seem to receive any power. The LED light does come on when the trigger is activated & last throughout the countdown but no power seems to be going to the door strike. Any idea why?
You are very welcome. Are you saying that you connected your door strike, instead of the bulb shown in video and it is not turning ON and OFF? if relay clicks and hear it, then your wiring is incorrect. I assume your door device is functioning. test it without connecting it to this module. Connect another load AC or DC bulb and test it. Perhaps the relay connectors on the module are bad. good luck.
@@robojax Thanks for the update and got this sorted as I forgot to connect the power source for the electric door strike. Once again, much appreciated your speedy reply and follow-up.
Does your video feature how you set a
DELAY >>RelayOn forever setup???
Couldn't understand if this simple delay to always on is set on this.
Many thanks.
the "forever" if available I should have mentioned it . I never leave anything when I explain and review modules. so watch the video fully to get answer.
I did watch it all.
But the video doesn't mention what happens if you set OFF time to 0 in any of the programs.
What happens then?
Thank you.
Tried without success had to get a different product to do a simple delay always on function.
Hello Robojax, thank you for your detailed video. I bought the timer, not realizing, that the trigger ALWAYS has turn off in order to make the timer start and let a lamp turn off after some seconds. Is there a way, to accomplish that with this relais?: Trigger: turn on the lamp - wait 5 seconds - turn off the lamp. The state of the trigger would be irrelevant.
If this is not possible with this relais, do you know a relais with that I can do this? I would be very thankful If you could / would help me.
thanks a lot. Andrew
Hello and welcome. if the trigger is the issue, you can change the trigger signal use this circuit very easily snipboard.io/vERWPt.jpg I have move timers with both HIGH and LOW trigger types. I try to explain everything but don't remember now which one is which as I have over 400 videos as of now and hard to track them. Good luck.
Robojax Hello Robojax, thanks alot for answering. Well the trigger isnt really the problem, it works. The problem is, that the trigger doesn‘t turn off automatically. This wouldn‘t be a problem if the timer (P-2) would start immediately after the trigger was recognized. The problem is, that the relais waits for the trigger signal to turn off. But in my case this will never happen. Therefore I cant use this relais. Is there really no way of acheiving this? ☹️
Very useful. I have just received mine for my automatic plant watering system.
Thank you.
Does p-3 works continuously?
Thanks for the video. Can I use it for 24v or 220v lamp?
You are welcome. You can use it turn ON and OFF any bulb up to 250V DC or AC. Just make sure do not go above 10A.
How do you mount this in a control panel as the relay is higner than the LED display
you are right. use some kond of IC socket, remove the dispaly, insert the socket, and then insert the display. Not sure but this is one way to braing the display up.
Hi Robojax,
Very good and informative tutorials. The P-3 function goes into an infinite loop right? Does it stop if the trigger signal is activated? Thanks
i am sorry to answer you question, I would have to watch the video. So you better watch as I have over 260 videos and don't remember. To the best of knowledge, I have left nothing that you need to know. So watch it again, pay attention and do NOT escape the time.
Now I need something like that but if I keep trigger pressed I would like the time to start to count.. so either a short contact or a long contact timer must run no matter state of switch. Any ideas?
All possible functions have been explained. If you watched the video fully and did not find what you were looking for, then it can’t do it. Please watch.
12V module currents in all P1 to P4 modes:
13mA when idling (LED showing time)
45mA when relay is on (LED showing)
Hi Robojax,
Thank you for a wonderful explanation.
I want to ask if this module can be programmed to work in minutes rather than seconds? I want to automate something to work for a minute or so for once or twice per 24 hrs.
I'm trying to hook mine to a 12v lipo for the input to trigger a light to come on. I got the device to preform the countdown when triggered but it's not activating the light. Do you have a video on how to operate this with a DC power source?
Thank you.
DC or AC does't make any difference. Just follow instruction I have.
I mean can I connect the switch that used in vibration module that when shocked it will tegger as the switch that you connect in your video
Sorry I did not understand. I have explained it but let me tell you again. This board has INPUT and your device or vibration device has OUTPUT. So if your device give voltage at OUTPUT, then connect it to this module INPUT, it should work.
Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. This is exactly what I need to add my front camera to my car parking system.
You are welcome! I am glad it helped. Ahmad from Canada (Hurasan)
Is there a way to start the countdown in P-1 without the manually triggering.? I mean itwill auto countdown when there is 12v supply.
Trigger is part of program. The example I have given in this video should answer any question you have unless it is impossible to do it with this module.
Hi. Thanks very much for the video. Is there a similar circuit that can be automatically turned ON for 10-15mins and then OFF for 1 hour and then repeat this cycle?
Thanks

Does this keep the settings if you disconnect all the power sources on it or do you have to set everything if you loose your power and grounds to the module?
yes it does.
Message:Thank you for your informative and helpful video:
I purchased this device from you. In the video, when using P1 you demonstrate that the input signal can be momentary, or continuous and the relay shuts off as programmed. On the unit I received, the momentary works, but if the signal is continuous it does not shut off. It instantly resets and the timer runs down again until this signal is disconnected.
Please advise.
thanks
I am not selling this. Either you module is different or you are not following the settings. Watch the video again perhaps.
@@robojax i just noticed in your video that the module you have did the same thing when continuous power was applied to signal it started the cycle over
Thanks for your detailed video. can I use the same 12 V DC supply for the load and the supply of the module?
Basically I need to use the P-3 mode.
Yes. you can if your load is also 12V.
I have bought this unit, but I need a delay relay that when 12v power comes on, it delays about 10seconds and then triggers the relay that controls a 240volts water pump. I think I bought the wrong product, can you recommend the right circuit I need? Thanks for your help.
Had the same problem had to buy another product to achieve this simple function.
Hi Robojax
I would like to know what is the minimum voltage needed to triger the divice? is it 4v - 20v? I am trying to use the device with a sencor that says it can give max 200mA. It is not working.
I was looking also to use an infared sensor or an ultrasonic sescor .
i have the module that you have and i want to use it like a simple secutity system.....
please upload a video with what kind of sensors we need to triger the devise ....what is the diffr. with possive and negative triger?
this devise says it works with possitive but the sencor that i have says that sents negative.....
Any help or idies?
Thank a lot and great video by the way......
Hi Dimitris, As I mentioned at 1:25 (click on the 1:25. I had to watch the video to find it) it is triggered at 5V. Anyting above up to 12 should be find. It doesn't need much current perhaps less than 1mA.
If you want to change input signal from negative to positive, you would need a transistor and 2 resistors. but I would suggest using Arduino with relay which gives you very wide options to work with. Here I just made this circuit if you want to convert the signal from positive to negative snag.gy/vERWPt.jpg
Does this extra wire for reset is positive +12V? Will it work when power and trigger are switch on the same time?
Unless I set this up, I will not know. But for sure at the best of knowledge, I have not left any feature without explaining. So watch it fully without skipping, I am sure you will find the answer.
Very good explanation on how to use the module, i have a question, does the module remembers the timer setting even after the module is not powered?
Yes it does.
@@robojax Thanks! Again, great tutorial!

Everything this module can do I have explained it. So watch it without skipping and I am sure you will get the answer whither you can do it or not.
Will its time value hold whenever power resumes after interruption? or get reset to zero ? Should I have to use inverter supply to hold its current value in P 1.1 setting ?
yes of course. it would be crazy to set it every time you turn it off .
@@robojax please clarify ur answer. Should I have to use inverter to hold last intrupted current time value
OR without any inverter, the circuit will itself hold the last intrupted value ??!!! (please check yourself> because one youtuber said that it reset to zero, when power goes, so use inverter.
I want to use it for 'reverse'''displaying time countdown''' in my project as time displayed in a washing machine.
Thank you very much this video help me a lot. God bless you
Sir, so it needs 12V power supply for trigger site or we can use it without power supply on trigger site?
I don't remember the voltage. but I should have explained.

Hi, thank you so much for this video! Quick question for you, is wiring a trigger necessary? I plan on using this device connected to a wireless RF receiver that is momentarily controlled to deliver power, so would using the RF transmitter enable the delay to begin?
You are welcome. I have made this video a while ago and don't remember anything now as there is many types of this module which I made video for. However I always demonstrate all possible features of a module. If you watch it fully without escaping I am sure you will get the answer.

Excellent video. How can i connect a PNP sensor to this device. Where would the sensor output be connected?
Thanks. PNP if you are referring to PNP transistor, I have no idea about configuration but the input I have shown and triggered it is the input.
Thanks for your detailed videos, I use to incubator in these model but,I am not set to 10-sec, relay and 2-hours off in my incubator. Please make a video in 10-sec relay and 2 hours off

does it work with out trigger..means clock timer..automatic works in time and hold it for minitus?
made the video exactly to answer these types of questions. please watch and if you did not find what you were looking for, then this module can't do it.
Hello! Thanx for the video!
I'd like to make you some questions.
I want to use it on 220v(Europe) . Can it be used?
And I want to use it for loop mode, ON every 8 hours for only 5 seconds and OFF again then loop the same setting.
Is it possible?
Hell and you are welcome. yes you can control 220V load. I belive I have explained that. the loop as for as I know I everything this module does. I don't know it now.

Thanks for the explanation اشكرك على الشرح🇰🇼
Hello! Good presentation!
I am interested in Programme -4 of the device.
Can it be the other way around? meaning that can it be starting off when u close the circuit of the button then start and off permanently?
thank you in advance!
If you look at the relay terminals, we have 3 ports which you connect your load. Yes you can. connect it to the middle and the other wire and you will get the result. Watch my other video about relay which shows how to disconnect instead of connect.
Does this retain the input time after power cut or we need to set it evrytime we use it ?
Yea it does
Thank you very much
hey and thank for th vedio
I want to ask you where can I find (off delay timer 12v in the market) the counter start to count when I cut the power?
I mean i want it delay off..12 volt with relay
when i press power the light turn on and it countinus lighting until I cut power off then the light turn off after 5second
I hope off delay means instead of turning something on, u want it off. If that’s the case then it is the wiring of this module with relay. Keep the middle wire of your load at the same terminal if the relay and move the other wife mite to the UoIT her unused terminal.
What all I want is a delay time for like 10 seconds before the light turns on and the light stays on until I turn it off? Meaning, I will only use the delay time to turn on the lights.. Is it possible?
everything this module does I have explained it. Nothing is left without explaining. So please watch it fully without skipping and you should get the answer.
