1. Multi-functional Timer Relay description
The multi-functional Timer delay module is a revolutionary circuit with many commonly used timer delay and
signal processing functions. It is perfect for many applications from hobby to industrial controls. The timer has
more than thirty different timing functions with the optional ability to trigger by application of voltage to the
trigger wire. Dry contacts can be used as a trigger as well. The timer can be used for hundreds of various
applications from delaying power to the circuit, supplying power in cycling fashion, or creating a self-latching
timed circuit. The timer is easy to connect and configure. All the configurations are permanently saved into the
internal flash memory. The timer works with 6 V to 28 V supply voltage and can handle up to 10 Amp of
current. Wide voltage supply range and high current capabilities make the timer applicable to a variety of
applications. The maximum current can be extended with the use of the external relay. The timer can run in
Low Power mode which is suitable for battery-powered applications. Built-in in fly-back diode allows for direct
connect of an inductive load.
The timer’s configuration changes are done via a smartphone or computer connected to the timer via a Wi-Fi
network generated by the timer. No Internet or external Wi-Fi router is required. Timer’s firmware is
upgradeable, allowing the user to flash updates and extend the functionality of the device.

Voltage range: 6-28 V


Max current: 10 Amp
Output types: Positive or Sink outputs
Minimum time duration: 0.1 Second
Maximum time duration: 400 Days
Idle current consumption: 1.5 ma
0.05 ma (in LOW POWER mode)
Temperate rating -40C + 100C

 Do not short timer’s output to the power or ground.
It would cause excessive current, possible device
overheating, and smoke.
 Do not exceed the timer’s current capacity.
 Do not reverse power supply polarity. It could cause
the timer’s internal components to fail and overheat.
 Do not put a timer into a hot environment causing it
to exceed specified temperate range working
conditions.
 Do not disconnect the ground from the timer while
under power.
 Do not connect the White wire to the power supply,
only to the ground.

3. Understanding Timer Delay Relay Function.


Understanding all the time delay relay functions available in multifunctional timer can be an intimidating
task. During the circuit design questions such as: what initiates the timer delay functions, does the timing
starts with the application of the power or trigger signal, for how long output power should stay on, etc.,
could arise and must be answered.

The timer is simply a logic control circuit to control the output power based on the events. Typically, the
timer is initiated or triggered by one of two methods:
 Application of power voltage
 High or Low trigger signal

The trigger signal can be one of the following:


 A control switch (dry contacts): limit switch, push-button, the float switch
 Voltage (power trigger): signal output from another device, power signal, or sink output

To help understand the timer functionality let’s look at the common terminology used throughout this
manual.
 Input Voltage – power voltage applied to the timer. Depending on the selected function, the input
voltage will either initiate the timing event or power the timer to be ready to accept the trigger
signal.
 Trigger Signal – in certain timing functions, a trigger is used to initiate a timing event after the
input voltage has been applied. As noted above this trigger can either be a control switch (dry
contact switch) or a power trigger (voltage).
 Output – output voltage from the timer. The timing of the output voltage is controlled by the
selected timing event and trigger method.

Below (Figure 1) is a description of the timing functions. A timing chart shows the relationship between
Input Voltage, Trigger Signal, and Output. Note that Trigger Signal is optional for some of the timer
functions and mandatory for others. Before going through all the available functions look at the first one in
detail.

# Function Operation Timing chart

The timer function #1 is ON DELAY, it allows to supply power after some time (t). There are two timing
charts, one without a trigger and one with a trigger. Trigger selection can be done during timer
configuration. Let’s look at the first chart where the timer is triggered by the supplied input voltage. Once
power is supplied to the timer, the time delay (t) begins, at the end of the time delay (t) output is energized
and stays on until power to the timer is removed. Removal of the power resets the timer circuit and the timer
is ready for another cycle. The second chart is applicable when a trigger option is selected. In this particular
case, the trigger on High (positive) voltage is selected. More on trigger options can be found later in the
manual. Upon application of power, the timer is ready to accept the trigger signal. When the trigger is
applied, the time delay (t) begins. At the end of the time delay (t) output is energized and stays on until
power to the timer is removed. Another application of the trigger during time delay (t) or the output
energized period does not affect the timer’s function. Only the first application of the trigger matters.

5. Timer’s digital trigger.


As described above timer is initiated or triggered by one of two methods:
 Application of power voltage
 High or Low trigger signal

The trigger signal can be one of the following:


 A control switch (dry contacts): limit switch, push-button, the float switch
 Voltage (power trigger): signal output from another device, power signal

5.1 Timer trigger operation with charts.


Figure 3.
High trigger Upon application of
power the time delay
relay is ready to
accept the trigger.
The transition of the
voltage on the trigger
wire from low* to
high** will trigger
the start of the time
delay (t).

Low trigger Upon application of


power the time delay
relay is ready to
accept the trigger.
The transition of the
voltage on the trigger
wire from high** to
low* will trigger the
start of the time delay
(t).

*Low trigger voltage is considered to be less than < 0.5v and should be as close to 0v as possible. **High
trigger voltage is greater than >0.8v and could be as high as the input voltage.

To use trigger input with dry contact (like switch or button), the trigger wire would need to be ‘pulled’ to
either High or Low voltage. Timer configuration allows for the trigger wire to be set to be either pulled to
High, where a small current is applied to keep the wire at High voltage or pulled to Low (grounded),
keeping the trigger wire at Low voltage. The following table demonstrates when to configure trigger wire
pull to High or Low.

* ** See notes below

1 Trigger is disabled
2 6 10 Low High For dry contacts between trigger wire and positive.
3 7 11 Low Low For a case where the voltage is applied to a trigger.
4 8 12 High Low For dry contacts between trigger wire and ground.
5 9 13 High High For a case where the ground is applied to the trigger.

* Trigger functions ensure the trigger transition from inactive to activate state upon startup.
**Trigger acts as an enable/disable switch. Applies to function: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 18 and 19.

Example of the Trigger set to 2 vs 10 with Function 3. Trigger set to 2 will


trigger the cycle. Trigger set to 10 will enable and disable the function.

6. Timer’s analog trigger.
The timer can also use an analog trigger where the function is triggered when the input voltage is above or
below a certain value.

The timer evaluates the input voltage and when the voltage is higher than the set threshold for Duration (t)
the timer evaluates the trigger is active.
Setting a larger gap between the trigger’s High and Low voltages levels and increasing Duration (t) makes
the trigger less sensitive to the sudden voltage fluctuations.

7. Timer Output:
7.1 Type
The timer’s output circuit can be either configured in Positive voltage output or Ground Sink mode. When
positive voltage output is configured the timer Yellow wire will output voltage when output is active, during
the inactive period the output will be floating. With positive voltage output, the load should be connected
between the timer’s Yellow output wire and ground.
With Ground Sink output mode the Orange output will sink the load current to the ground. The load should
be connected between the timer’s Orange output wire and power.

7.2 Gradual
Timer output mode allows the user to set either instant output, where the output comes on and goes off
instantly, or gradual increase/decrease, where the output is PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controlled and
ramps up to 100% duty in about 4 seconds. The gradual output is great for the lighting system to gradually
increase and dim the lights.

7.3 Reversed
In some circumstances, it is required to supply reversed output to the load, so instead of supplying power to
the load during the time delay (t), the output is de-energized.
The following diagram shows a sample timer operation with normal and reversed output.

The timer is preconfigured with normal output.

8. Timer installation and programming
Installation:
1. Connect timer as specified in the diagram in Section 2.
2. The Red wire is connected to a power source, Black to ground, Yellow to load for positive control,
and Orange for sink control. White is used to enabling Wi-Fi configuration. The blue wire is a
trigger wire. Isolate trigger wire with electrical tape if the trigger option is not used.
3. Select the appropriate timer’s function from Figure 2 for your project and note the function
number.
4. Skip this step if the trigger is not used. Select the appropriate timer trigger configuration function
from Figure 5 and note the trigger number. Trigger #2 is commonly used to trigger with a positive
voltage.

Programming:
1. Programming is done by connecting a computer or a smartphone to the timer’s Wi-Fi network.
2. Connect the White wire to the ground and supply power to the timer. The internal blue LED should
light up for a short period. White wire can now be disconnected from the ground.
3. Search for available Wi-Fi networks on your computer/phone.
4. Connect computer/phone to the ‘Timers.shop.wifinnn’ wireless network.
5. Open the browser and enter the following into the address bar: 192.168.4.1 and click go or connect.
6. Once connected you will be presented with a similar menu:

7. Click on TIMER’S CONFIGURATION and make necessary changes to the timer’s configuration.
8. Wi-Fi ID can be changed for easier identification of the device’s network.

Troubleshooting:
 If you lose network connection to network ‘Timers.shop.wifinnn’ try to disable automatic
connections to other known networks configured in your computer/phone. Some
computer/smartphone will try to switch the network if the current network does not appear to be
connected to the Internet.

 To test the light control you need to make sure you have selected the proper output type. Select
Positive if the load is connected to the ground. Go back to the main menu and click on OUTPUT ON
to turn the output on. If the load is not energized check your connection and measure the voltage on
the output wire.

 If no menu actions are taken the timer restarts after 5min of inactivity.

9. Low Power Mode


The timer can be configured in Low Power mode which drops the idle current consumption to a much
lower value. This mode makes the timer suitable for battery operation. For example, if we take a 9V
battery with 500mah capacity we can calculate the duration the timer can run in idle mode.
500mah/0.05ma = 10000 hours (~1 year). The timer’s Low Power mode is enabled by default. But there
are several conditions have to be met to have the lowest power draw:
1. The digital trigger should be configured to #2 (if used). The trigger voltage should be 0v for low
power consumption.
2. The output is di-energized.
3. The following Functions are enabled for Low Power mode: 2, 10, 12 - 18, 20 – 29.
4. When the analog trigger is used the Low Power mode is disabled.

Note: Due to internal power storage the timer will not reset with a brief power interruption. To reset
the timer in Low Power mode, the power outage should be more than 1sec.

10. Updating timer’s firmware


Download the new firmware from the http://timers.shop/WiFi-Timer-Firmware_ep_52-1.html. Put the
timer into configuration mode and select the Update Firmware menu.

11. Updating timer’s UI interface


In some cases, UI (user interface) also needs to be updated along with firmware. If the firmware archive
contains a UI update .bin file then execute the following steps. Put the timer into configuration mode, go
to the address 192.168.4.1/update. Select .bin file and upload. Wait until unit reboots and Wi-Fi
network is available again (about 10-20 seconds). The update is complete.

12. Custom firmware
