Where to find a dedicated timer?
|
|
| W. Kirk Crawford 2007-11-11, 9:25 am |
| Greetings,
I am looking a timer where I set the length of time, then push a button and the electric flow for that amount of time and shuts off.
I don't want timers that turn on at a set time and off at a set time. That is out of the question.
I want a timer where you set the length, then push a button. Every time you push the button the timers is set for that length of
time.

| I need to explain more, this timer does not draw power until the button is pushed.

Sounds as though you need something run by clockwork ;-)

Strange to relate, I have two sat on my drawing room table as I write.
One looks like a relay but contains a synchronous motor, a gearbox and
an adjuster calibrated 0-10. Push a button and it runs for the set time
up to ten seconds and then stops.
Another is much larger and has a rotary scale going from 0-100. You turn
a knob to the desired time and, when you push a button, a relay operates
and the knob rotates back to zero, when the relay de-activates. The knob
scale actually has an outer ring that can set the time from 0-100 mS,
0-1 S, 0-10 S, 0-100 S, 0 -1000 S and 0-10000 S - by changing gearbox
ratios.
I only mention those because I am trying to find a use for them and, if
you lived anywhere near me in darkest Devon UK, you could just have come
and collected one for free.. They came out of equipment that I had
stripped down.
I was going to use the big one in a box supplying power to a socket for
my electric clothes iron - as I am for ever leaving the thing on...
However, I digress. I think the thing you need is a "darkroom timer".

This one is clock based, but you could still set it for a given span
and it would indeed work.

This one does what you want, but is not automated. You have to stop
dialing at the appropriate location.

This timer is used in irrigation systems and might do what you want.
It takes up some space though.
This company has a bunch of timers: > http://tinyurl.com/2ge4jh

Intermatic makes one that runs about 10 minutes per switch operation.
I have one on my bathroom fan.
The other easy option is a spring would timer.
If you want to make something look at the circuits they cobble up from
a 4060 CMOS counter and a relay, solid state or mechanical.
This guy has some samples of what you can do

The big problem with Chagford is that it is a sod to get to in a bus in
mid-Summer...especially if you are the driver. Still, the look on some
people's faces when they round a corner and find a hedge-to-hedge bus
coming at them is something to treasure.
There is a little spot not too far from there that really is an almost
entirely undiscovered wonder. A public path starts by going through a
very uninspiring farmyard. A short walk later, you are beside a little
river tumbling down a hidden valley, complete with deep pool to go
swimming in. I've been going there for years and never seen a soul,
other than from the farm...

IIUC, those wind back to zero as they operate. Not quite what the OP
wanted, unless, like mine and many darkroom timers, it springs back to
the preset time on completion:
"Every time you push the button the timers is set for that length of time. "

Yours sounds more convenient., who manufactures it? This one wroks fine
you can wind it to any 0-60 min. interval, turn it back & stop it, it
doesn't take much effort to do it either.I guess it depends on what &
where you need a timed outlet.
I will eventually get a digital model if they are avaiable, Bench Type
of course.
This particular model was obtained with a Pesticide Mister I had a while
back., it conveniently mounted right on it.I keep it on my bench/work
space.

Come on Sue! If you want REAL excitement in a bus, let the driver go
off the side of a mountain between Ft Greely and Fairbanks, Alaska while
the passengers scream for their lives. I missed that ride by two weeks,
in the mid '70s. Sam bus, same route, and same driver, with friends of
mine aboard. They were all SURE they were going to die. 
It dropped a couple hundred feet, and was caught by a large tree. A
few ended up in the hospital, but no one died.

From this post it appear that you completely missed her point. It also
looks like you didn't even read her response.
AND you STILL have the sig flag screwed up, dipshit! If you don't know
what that is after SEVERAL folks have told you about it, you don't need
to be in this forum.

| On the other hand - I have a Whirlpool Digital Programmable Plug-In
Lamp And Appliance Timer that you could program just about any way you
want to operate "whatever" at a certain time each day he can program &
just switch it to manual - all you have to do is hit the On/Off Button
and it'll run "whatever" is plugged for the the programmed time.
I plug my AC into this one to shorten it's on time during long hot
nights..it's curbs my electricity bills too....
The Whirlpool Corporation should still have these... I'm Out.........

Did you even read the original post, idiot?
He SPECIFICALLY does NOT want a clock based timer.
He wants an elapsed time device.

Yours sounds more convenient., who manufactures it? This one wroks fine
you can wind it to any 0-60 min. interval, turn it back & stop it, it
doesn't take much effort to do it either.I guess it depends on what &
where you need a timed outlet.
I will eventually get a digital model if they are avaiable, Bench Type
of course.
This particular model was obtained with a Pesticide Mister I had a while
back., it conveniently mounted right on it.I keep it on my bench/work
space.

Depends on your specific application.
If you specified operating volts, AC or DC, current, accuracy needed, etc. you might receive a specific answer.
For low accuracy on low voltage DC I use a simple power FET transistor with a capacitor/resistor on the gate, a relay,
and a SPST switch. The resistor can be a variable that you adjust to set the time. If the load is DC and not harmed by
a slow turnoff, the FET can drive it directly. If brewing your own, look at the old LM555 timer circuits for more
accuracy and a definate snap action.
There are 2-inch square timer blocks with a series of small switches to set the time, but they are specific to a voltage
and load current.

Google 'Time Delay Drop Out'.
You will have to check out the specs on each relay. Some 'consume' a
small amount of power while waiting for the start command even though
their controlled contacts are open (pass no current) until the period is
initiated. You will have to define exactly what you mean by the timer
not 'drawing power'.

If you just want a one shot, the simplest way is a capacitor
discharging across a darlington with a pot to fine tune the discharge
time. If you are holding up a relay through a normally open contact
you can drive any load the relay can handle.
Dropped out, it is an open circuit

The Devon, Cornish and a lot of Welsh roads are good for getting in a lot
of reversing practice ! :-)
Not too bad in a car or an elderly Espace like mine but.....

Sounds nice. I'm afraid the weather did dampen our enthusiasm a little for
walking. We did one walk around Buckfast, mostly through woods, following
up with a visit to the Abbey and even when in the open the rain wasn't too
bad that day. The Friday before we left was dry and we managed to get up
on the moors near Princetown.
We will probably be heading down in that direction again next year but
whether to Chagford or somewhere else has yet to be decided.

My reply email is valid. If you want to drop me a line next year to
discuss anywhere in particular, feel free. There is also a Devon
newsgroup as well - which gives reasonably reliable advice on pubs and
eateries.

Thankyou.

I should have mentioned that my reply address is also valid but when I
contact you it will probably be from my private address which uses my real
name.

I already posted a link to a site with a micro-processor controlled
