Simple Triac Timer Circuit
Here’s a simple triac timer circuit which can be used for switching ON a particular device after a predetermined time, set through the given pot or the variable resistor. The shown circuit diagram of a simple triac timer can be understood by referring to the following explanation: How it Works The left hand side section […]
Simple Adjustable Industrial Timer Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple and effective industrial timer circuit which can be universally used for most industrial and home timer based applications. The idea was requested by Mr. Vasilis K. Technical Specifications I have a question regarding the 4060 ic wired as “one shot timer.” If it can power on the […]
Simple Kitchen Timer Circuit – Egg Timer
A kitchen timer is a useful gadget which produces an alarm sound after a predetermined delay, as set by the user for specific time based food recipes that must be cooked only for a certain amount of time for best results. Written By: Suneeta Dixit One example is boiled eggs which may be either hard […]
Thermostat Delay Relay Timer Circuit
The circuit given below describes a time delay relay system which is used for keeping a hot air blower working under a specifically programmed timing sequence. The idea was requested by Mr. Doug Shadix, I have explained more: Technical Specifications Hi Swagatam,Looks like you know your stuff when it comes to these timer circuits, this one […]
Week Day Programmable Timer Circuit
In this post I have explained a couple of interesting timer circuits customized as per individual requirements. The first one is a kind of week/day programmable timer circuit for actuating a motor for a predetermined time only during certain selected days of the week, while the second timer circuit is for alerting a lecturer regarding the finish of the allotted time […]
