Timer and Delay Relay

In this post I have explained a timer circuit for submersible borewell pumpset which alternately switches the pumpset ON/OFF at a predetermined rate in order to allow the ground water sufficient time to restore at regular intervals and to ensure a consistent water supply to the attached overhead tank. The idea was requested by Mr. […]

The post talks about an IC 4060 timer circuit problem implemented in a coffee wending machine,  in which the circuit simply stops working each time its stipulated delay period is lapsed, even after a complete power switch OFF and ON. The question was presented by Mr. Kenndy and was solved through the following email discussion: […]

In this post I have explained how to make a simple IC 555 based alternate relay timer circuit for toggling a couple of loads alternately with a specified length of delay, as determined by the calculated values of the relevant components. The idea was requested by Mr. Sanjoy. Circuit Objectives and Requirements The Design Referring […]

In this article I have explained a simple water saving irrigation system circuit idea which can be used for implementing an efficient water management and control in farms and irrigation systems. The idea was requested by Mr. Ajinkya Sonwane, Mr. Akshay Kokane and Mr. Kunal Raut, studying in AISSMS IOIT College of Engineering. Circuit Objective […]

The simple bathroom lamp timer circuit features a delay OFF timer which switches OFF the triggered lamp after a set predetermined time delay, additionally the circuit also includes a delay ON timer circuit which is appropriately set such that a warning tone is generated a few seconds before the lamp is about to shut off. […]

In this post I have explained a simple sequential timer designed for implementing a specified set of actions involving a 3 step relay activation which in turn is used for executing the desired mechanisms. The idea was requested by Mr. Ali.  Technical Specifications I look at your site occasionally and this time round I am […]
