From http://www.ozitronics.com K141 - Multi-Mode Timer The kit contains seven different timing modes using only ONE IC and some support components on a single-sided PCB. Opto-isolated trigger input and relay output. Timing Modes: 1. Instant On, Delayed Off, Level triggered 2. Instant On, Delayed Off, Edge triggered 3. Delayed On 4. Instant On and Hold, Delayed Off 5. Toggling 6. Instant On, Delayed Off, with Pause 7. Delayed On with Pause Delay Ranges: 1. 1 - 255 seconds in steps of 1 second 2. 10 - 2550 seconds (42min 30sec) in steps of 10 seconds 3. 1 - 255 minutes (4hr 15min) in 1 minute steps 4. 10 - 2550 minutes (42hr 30min) in 10 minutes steps The timing modes and delay ranges are selected by on-board DIP switches. There is provision for another timer mode. If you can think of another timer variation (or even a completely different set of timing modes) then let us know - it's only a software change! Various triggering options available (see documentation). 12VDC operation. 96 x 48mm - (3 3/4" x 1 7/8") PCB.
