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.
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!
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.
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
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. 😍
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.
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!
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!

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
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 ?
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 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.
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 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 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
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.
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?
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.
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
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?
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
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?
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?
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
Thank you so much ...... exactly what I was looking for.... I bought one, but could not use it, as I was not able to not understand their explanations (from the seller on ali...)
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. 👻
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 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..😊
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have bought two of these timers and the two do not work. The timer lights up and counts down and a blue relay light comes on but does not switch from N/C to N/O
So very helpful! Those Chinese eBay circuit boards are a dark magic without the wisdom of some person who speaks proper English to explain it fully. Thank you.
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.
Hope you are good brother, Dear i have a question: Can i use this trigger as a door bell? Door bell should work as many times as anyone wants to, But on output (right side ports) i want to connect almost 50watt items that are: 15inch LCD monitor camera Light (that works with night sensor).... Please guide me if i need some changes in another DIY circuit or i can adjust above workings in this Pre made circuit? I am not an expert but i need proper guidance please.. Thanks in advance My country's standard voltage is 220v
I am sorry for late reply. I was on vacation. Your project needs totally different setup. Your best option is to use Arduino with relay. here are my videos on timers th-cam.com/channels/kcBSig_Iu4ZnAIeCeG1TVg.htmlsearch?query=timer
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
I have this relay, or at least one that looks exactly the same, mine counts down in minutes. Put the little dot just after the numbers and it turns to minutes instead of seconds. The display on my unit is kind of funky, I more or less have to guess my numbers, but the count down works as intended. I guess you get what you pay for .
There are many variation of relay timer that looks like this. some got one feature and some the other. They don't even put a model number on this. So it is hard to know which one is which.
@@robojax Yes you are probebly right. I could fix my display by the way. it was a litle solder bead stuck between two leggs, once i cut it away it worked fine. Wery handy relay. thanks for wid.
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?
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 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.
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?
Hi, your video actually helped me to build up my confidence while buying this module. I could program the module. It will great if you could upload the pdf of the program. Thanks for your efforts.
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.
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
When I make video review of product I never any specifications details. So if you watch , you should get the answer. I’ve made 100s of mor videos and don’t remember.
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.
Does It have memory? If i program something anf it stops getting electricity, when i Connect it again, does it starts working with the instructions it was programmed last time or i need to program it every time? Thanks so much for your great videos!!!!
In and off are independent. 1 hour 60x60=3600 seconds so program it as you wish. But this can go up to 999 seconds. See other module I have reviewed with 999 hours
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? ☹️
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.
Pressing K1 in P-3 mode will change "OFF' first or "ON" first every time you power it up.
Yes you can program it.
What if I'm looking for an infinite ON-OFF-ON-OFF loop with a trigger signal?

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 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.
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?
Useful but I need to make a delay switch from power on - does this store the settings ?
All the settings are saved
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.
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 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 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
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.
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.
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?
Hey, I would to ask if this module can set the time in hour as I want to use it on led light.
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.
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
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 for the explanation اشكرك على الشرح🇰🇼
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!
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?
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?
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
Thank you so much ...... exactly what I was looking for.... I bought one, but could not
use it, as I was not able to not understand their explanations (from the seller on ali...)
You are welcome. Thank you for not skipping the ads and keep watching it. This will help me a lot.
@@robojax I will ....
12V module currents in all P1 to P4 modes:
13mA when idling (LED showing time)
45mA when relay is on (LED showing)
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. 👻
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 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..😊
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.
Tnx.for the video.how about if hours can set
1 hour is 3600 seconds. this can go max to 999. I have other module's review with 999 hours. search my channel.
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.
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
I need the same for my Europe 220v, is it the right one?
The relay work for any country. Just calculate the total power.
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
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.
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.
"I've set it to 7 seconds because 12 seconds is very long" lol
time? LOL
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?
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.
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.
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.
Muchas ,gracias no hay un video donde te enseñen a conectar correctamente!!!gracias
Just ordered it for a small DC fan. We will ses
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.
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?
Where can we buy this.....
See the link in the description. We have no choice other than eBay, AliExpress or Amazon.
I have bought two of these timers and the two do not work. The timer lights up and counts down and a blue relay light comes on but does not switch from N/C to N/O
do you hear the click of relay? if not either relay is bad or the small transistor connected to relay is bad.
I do not hear any clicking sound. It just strange that the two of them do not work
So very helpful! Those Chinese eBay circuit boards are a dark magic without the wisdom of some person who speaks proper English to explain it fully. Thank you.
You are welcome.
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.
Thank you very much this video help me a lot. God bless you
Hope you are good brother,
Dear i have a question:
Can i use this trigger as a door bell? Door bell should work as many times as anyone wants to,
But on output (right side ports) i want to connect almost 50watt items that are:
15inch LCD monitor
camera
Light (that works with night sensor)....
Please guide me if i need some changes in another DIY circuit or i can adjust above workings in this Pre made circuit?
I am not an expert but i need proper guidance please..
Thanks in advance
My country's standard voltage is 220v
I am sorry for late reply. I was on vacation. Your project needs totally different setup. Your best option is to use Arduino with relay. here are my videos on timers th-cam.com/channels/kcBSig_Iu4ZnAIeCeG1TVg.htmlsearch?query=timer
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
When i turn it on ( blue lights ) It creates an annoying noise. Buzzing. Do you have any idea to take this noise out?
It means the input voltage for the module is low. Check it
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.
I have this relay, or at least one that looks exactly the same, mine counts down in minutes. Put the little dot just after the numbers and it turns to minutes instead of seconds. The display on my unit is kind of funky, I more or less have to guess my numbers, but the count down works as intended. I guess you get what you pay for .
There are many variation of relay timer that looks like this. some got one feature and some the other. They don't even put a model number on this. So it is hard to know which one is which.
@@robojax Yes you are probebly right. I could fix my display by the way. it was a litle solder bead stuck between two leggs, once i cut it away it worked fine. Wery handy relay. thanks for wid.
You are welcome.
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?
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?
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.
Once again thank you for this help video as it has been a big help as this is a great product
Thanks Gavin
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.
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?
Thank You ! Now I can use that for the quail incubator.
Glad to help
Very detailed video thank you!
Hi, your video actually helped me to build up my confidence while buying this module. I could program the module. It will great if you could upload the pdf of the program. Thanks for your efforts.
You are welcome. There is not PDF manual for this module. Good luck with your project.
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!
you are welcome.
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.
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
You are welcome. Here are my timer related videos th-cam.com/channels/kcBSig_Iu4ZnAIeCeG1TVg.htmlsearch?query=timer
Can we set the timer in minutes??
When I make video review of product I never any specifications details. So if you watch , you should get the answer. I’ve made 100s of mor videos and don’t remember.
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.
A comprehensive presentation...very helpful friend..👍
Glad you liked it
Very helpful video, thank you.
Does It have memory? If i program something anf it stops getting electricity, when i Connect it again, does it starts working with the instructions it was programmed last time or i need to program it every time?
Thanks so much for your great videos!!!!
Yes it does. This has been answered in comments like 10 to 20 times. When you have questions please always read the comments first. Thanks
@@robojax Thanks so so much, so sorry, I went down but didn't reach that. Sorry for that
No worries my friend. Thanks
Can you program it for be on for seconds and off for hours ? mix seconds and hours or minutes ?
In and off are independent. 1 hour 60x60=3600 seconds so program it as you wish. But this can go up to 999 seconds. See other module I have reviewed with 999 hours
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? ☹️
hello congratulations on this tutorial ... can i use this 12v module in a 220 volt electrical installation? What? Thank you
Thank you for this video. This was very helpful.
You are welcome.
