UNDERSTANDING RELAYS

Before use, it should be understood how a relay works. If you’ve used relays before, you can skip this section A relay has a “COM” port, which can be thought of as an “input” which will then go to one of the two “Normally Open” and “Normally Closed” connections. Normally means when the power is off, as it is in its resting state.digitech-AA0378-Programmable-Interval-12V-Timer-Module-fig-1

When power is applied, the relay will switch the connection from the Normally Closed NC position, to the Normally Open NO (ie: now closed). You can try this by putting multimeter leads on the common and NO connections, to see when there is a continuity measurement (set the multimeter to beeper) The AA0378 Programmable interval 12V timer module has one relay offering two connections like this, so it is a Double Pole Double Throw relay, or DPDT.

LINK JUMPER SETTINGS

The link jumpers on this unit are used to program this unit. You can set the jumpers to your desired position according to this handy chart, which splits into two periods; the “ON” period where the relay is activated, and the “OFF” period.

You set the amount of time ON by selecting the correct jumper position, the unit, and the multiple, such as: (5) (minutes) (x10) Meaning 50 minutes. We’ve provided a few examples for you to look at in case of any confusion.

EXAMPLES

The linker positions are fairly easy to understand. Have a look at some examples:

  1. On for 1 minute, off for 10, in a cycle:digitech-AA0378-Programmable-Interval-12V-Timer-Module-fig-4
    Note
    : Link 4 is missing, as we do not want to multiply ‘1’ by 10.
  2. On for 20 seconds, off for 90 minutes, continuouslydigitech-AA0378-Programmable-Interval-12V-Timer-Module-fig-5
    Note: Link 2 is missing, as “9” is with “no link” as per chart above.
  3. On for 3 hours when RESET button is pressed.digitech-AA0378-Programmable-Interval-12V-Timer-Module-fig-6
    Note
    : Link 7 is missing so this is configured in “one shot” mode. OFF settings have no effect, and it will not re-cycle itself. The device can be reset via the reset switch, cycling power, or by shorting the green wires from the wiring kit.
