After searching for 1.) How to wire a little relay like this. 2.) How to program one. I have to say this is the best video out there! A lot of them go on and on with various circuit board/technical terms. But this tutorial shows how mpjaonline had it wired up, (thats the main thing that helped me past my hurdle!). This video saved my Halloween Prop! Much thanks!

[@jd70HJ19]

Bought two on sale , no instructions in the box. After attempting to decipher the vendor`s online nstructions for 5 minutes , not well translated from whatever language they were orginally written I might add.I searched for a video hoping to find one coherent and intelligible, I found this video ... I wish I had found the MPJA webstite from the start ..it will be my go to from now on . THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS TUTORIAL VIDEO , CONCISE EASY TO FOLLOW AND UNDERSTAND , superb job .

[@beknowwhy]

Thank you for making this tutorial so simple and understandable.

[@HyoosikLLC]

Could not have done i without your video! Thank you.

[@wangofree]

Excellent. These module type instructions are sometimes hard to follow. Thanks for working through the different programs.

[@ducter2001]

LIFESAVER --- Thanks for posting this...

[@themarblewurks9492]

Great video! Very well done. Easy to understand. Saved me loads of time. Thanks!

[@maximpulse]

You are wonderful! I truly appreciate your complete explanation and also showing how you wired the darned thing!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@windowpane1000]

Thanks for this tutorial! It was very clear and it helped me understand how to use this relay. The written instructions that come with the board are super unclear, so this video was quite helpful.

[@mpjaonline]

Depends on your sensor if it has an adjustable set point (on-off) and a transistor output to act like the switch I used. Plus a separate power source for the delay timer 6-30Vdc. Thank You

[@airsoftjunkie5592]

Thank you very much for this awesome video. Just received this in the mail, but had no idea how to program it with no instructions. If you ever do another one, it'd be very helpful to hook something up to the NC or NO side, to demonstrate the on/off function, like a light or fan or something.

[@viper8049]

Thanks, bought a couple of these from amazon and of course, not one letter of instructions. You made it easy!

[@ronaldhietbrink7800]

Dank wel prima uitleg ik heb de stappen gevolgd en heb de schakelingen prima voor elkaar gekregen

[@crisdt88]

Thanks for the video, best explaining video of this module I've seen so far

[@ben200b]

A very handy little timer !...thanks for sharing

[@rajivbasak5167]

Hello Sir, Thanks for making me understand the connection, means a lot to me, and just because of your demonstration of the connection of this module I am able to complete one of my personal projects, Thanks a lot, god bless you.

[@AJ-Palermo]

thank you! very helpful video. I will definitely be buying some of these from MPJA.

[@shabirjunior5603]

Thanks dude, that's really helping me

[@smknewman]

There is one more function: Hold down up or down button (F1 is normal operation, F2 when powered up relay turns on with no countdown time) Stop button turn on and off.

Thank you sir for all the complete and good information! Godbless you always!

[@razvanbac6239]

You are a life saver. thank you for this outstanding tutorial

[@johnathanmyers7033]

Thank you thank you thank you! I have no experience working with timer relays and as is the case with most small electrical components you can order online the instructions are poorly translated or there are none at all. The available instructions for this particular timer are notoriously challenging to understand and I gave up trying to figure out how to use it months ago. Now after watching your tutorial I can finally use it.

[@TijnVos]

Thanks man, helped me with all I wanted it to do.

[@plasticelectrics]

i want to like this upload twice.... just perfect thankyou

[@jasonlaureles9353]

thank you sir, it really helps me to understand the function of this.

[@Hotshotter3000]

This is really good. But I got some questions. Can you use a 9 volt battery or other batteries to power it? Do you have any videos on the wiring? I am mildly confused with the ground cable. Does it need it? I want to make sure I wire it with the trigger and the battery and everything. I'm kinda new to electronics and I just built very simple things.

[@LM-fq3ot]

Thank you very much for your explanations. 🙂👍

[@KashifJarwar]

Thank You so much for detailed Explanation. 👍

[@0012dominic]

Thank you so much for this. It's a better unit than I thought I bought thanks to you.

[@shavkat84]

Finally, somebody explained nicely thank you 🙏

[@bogoff99]

really appreciate this video.. the broken translated instructions that came with it was terrible..🤣 I sussed some features out by playing around but your video helps so much. 👍

[@jeflehardi91]

Thank you so much ! especially for connections

[@mazatrolmultiplex1113]

very good demonstration. Thanks

[@rustipaul7427]

I have problems with this board regarding debouncing of the pushbutton. Did you debouced the switch? I'm using a wall push button to start a fan in mode 1.3 and I have double triggering sometimes.

[@bienvenidogranali6611]

Great tutorial!

[@kelekilla]

I was just thinking to smash this item till ifound you!!!😂😂❤❤

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Awesome, thanks! All of the instructions I have seen to date on these are so poorly written as to be unintelligable! THanks for the video, makes using one of these a breeze!

[@waynebagnall3611]

Very helpful and easy to understand. 👍

[@bryan_nfs5593]

Concise and detailed!

[@advocatusdiaboli1436]

Thumbs up.Great video.

[@user-vn7un4uu6g]

Handy video. Thanks.

[@Moontanthefirst]

Sir, can this device be used to make an led flash, say for 3 seconds, and then countdown from an adjustable amount, in a continuous cycle without pressing a button? Ideally I'd like to be able to control both the interval, and the duration, can it do that? Regards Mark.

[@FrankBuisRoyalPressAmsterdam]

Very useful, thank

[@fazalwaheed409]

Great video

[@bertodiy]

clear and excellent tutorial! thank you sir 😍

[@emailkk8886]

A great presentation which clarifies all our doubts, this board otherwise would have been a obscure Chinese board, Any idea on the 4 unsoldered connections behind the LED display module ?

[@stonkeng]

They are simply feed through connections from one side of the PCB to the other.

[@Electronzap]

Good info.

[@terryroe2023]

so you can hook this up to a sensor via the trigger pin to turn on the relay? Basically I want the RCWL- 0516 sensor to turn on the relay (no delay) and run for 6 seconds so it powers on a musical box movement and turns off after 6 seconds

[@christopherowens2635]

thanks for the video. i need this for my project

[@sunsetsavinelli7260]

Great video! Question: Can this device be set for 2 seconds in the ON position then pause for 12 seconds and sets to the ON position again for 2 seconds repeating this pattern for up to 60 seconds? Then use a trigger to restart the entire process?

[@mpjaonline]

Sorry for the delay I’ve be very busy, Looks like P3.1 will work for you watch the video at 6:50 and set loop “LOP” for 3 to 4

[@SwgwmTJB]

Thanks a lot man, helped a lot

[@brand0nn]

Thanks for this vid very helpful

[@SwissFrogGuy]

Thank you very much for this video. I am trying to use programming mode P3.2 (OFF and ON in a cycle, without trigger). However, it always starts in OFF mode. I need it to start ON, then OFF (I am using the relay with a separate timer that has a minimum period of one minute. I need the relay to limit this to, say, 10 seconds. This way, I can set the main timer to power up the relay, and the relay stays on for 10 secs, then shuts off). As it is, I get a mode flashing for a few secs on power-up, then it starts the loop in OFF. The loop works OK, but all this delay at startup is frustrating. Any way to set P3.2 to start in the ON position, no off? There are no instructions. Thanks!

[@rajainayat]

Wow thanks alot for such nicely explained loved it.

[@Self.reliant]

How many amps can pass through it?

[@strawman9410]

Thanks for your efforts and sharing 👍🇬🇧 I was hoping to see this switch polarity also, with option to set voltage and amperage. If you know of a device please let me know

[@walthodgson5780]

You do have to have an external trigger voltage. Simply using a switch doesn't work. When using USB power there's a 3.2vdc across the power terminals but it's not enough to use as trigger voltage. As such I think USB power is only really useful if you are using P3-1 or 3-2.

[@zachroach9672]

Thanks for the video, helped me understand the trigger function. Can anyone recommend a 2-channel version of this? I want to power 2 circuits sequentially, then have an off cycle. Currently using 2 of these with the first's NC triggering the 2nd when the first closes, but thats a lot of wires =/

[@joeg2577]

Thank you for the tutorial, can this board be triggered by a proximity sensor instead of a momentary switch? if yes how to connect a 3 wire or 2 wire proximity sensor Thx

[@mahela1993]

Reading the manual for chinese versions of this module is an absolute nighmare! Thanks for the simple tutorial!

[@TylerHarney]

Awesome Thank you so much! I'll be using this to trigger my laser cutter fan acc's to turn off X seconds after the program finishes.

[@andreashexe8645]

nice for a thunder simulation with sound and lights

[@SuperRealityKid]

Great demonstration, thanks. I'm using one for an alarm system where I use a trip wire attached to a pull pin that operates a micro switch to send a 12 volt signal to trigger the board and sending an operating voltage to sirens, lights and GSM dialer. Now, here's the thing, It works most times but occasionally does not and I have a theory that the time length of the signal, on occasions, may not be long enough. A trip event pulls the pin out super quick and, once pulled, the micro switch instantly returns to its normally open state. I suspect that if the micro switch closed circuit condition is only in the order of milliseconds, it may not satisfy the boards signal parameters. What do you think? Ps. I have just modified the micro switch assembly to remain closed circuit after activating, until reset, so I am testing a few more times to check my theory out.

[@chasman414]

I'm looking for a unit like this one that times in tenths,hundredths,and thousandths of a second. I also need it to activate the relay when the trigger is pressed and held, then when the trigger is released the timer starts and turns off the relay when timed out .I believe that would be the p-4 function. Would you or anyone know of one like that?

[@dejv1111]

Very useful, thank You!:-)

[@christopherowens2635]

You did demonstrate that even if the power was turned off, the relay module still remembers the last setting you set it to. Now, my question is..will the relay module still remember the last settings if I unplugged the battery? Or does the battery need to be connected to the relay at all times for the relay to remember the last setting? Hope I make sense to you.

[@N4Nai]

I have been using this device in Program option P3.2 successfully for almost 2 weeks. However, tiday it has developed a problem. My PL time was 15 minutes and CL was 90 minutes. I had set Loop 120. Today the PL count down starts and then it trips and starts all over again from 15. It is not going to CL mode. BUT when I tried testing it in seconds instead of minutes it works fine. Also while testing I noticed that when the loops finished the switch stays in PL mode. Any advice anyone? Thank you

[@scottcoleman162]

I'm using one of these to control a device in my car so that the device has a delayed shut down when the ignition is turned off. I was hoping to use a 12v output from the ignition switch to trigger the signal so that when the key is on, the relay turns on, when the key is off, theres a delay then the relay turns off, simple... However I noticed you're using a momentary switch, is it safe to use an ignition switch that would be on the entire time I want the relay on? In other words do you have to use a momentary switch to keep from overheating the signal input or opto-coupler etc?

[@IMT-AIJ]

I have a question, when using the P31, infinite loop with time on and time off, is there any posibility to override that, one time off and leave a bit longer on and then continue the normal loop? I saw the different options but I didn't see any that does exactly that. Thanks so much for your help and your great videos!!

[@darrinsanchez8221]

Question, When its on is it triggering the NO when it is off is it triggering the NC? Can I push the momentary switch have a green LED turn on the after the set time switch to a red one then off? Hope it makes sense.

[@izzzzzz6]

I'm looking to buy this with the black relay. They also do a double relay vs. I would like to know, if i get the 24V dc input version. Can i wire 24V dc in parallel to the trigger port. Does it have a memory? In other worlds i would like to power it up and it automatically counts down the pre-programmed time till the relay switches? I have a large DC amplified speaker, i wish to add speaker delay protection in series with one of the speaker wires, one unit for treble and one for bass. I would use the double vs. but they only come with the 10A relay.

[@Nando_]

nice! I have an old car (brasilian pickup Chevrolet Montana, same as Opel Corsa C) and setting ignition on position 1 doesn't turn the ACC on (it turns on only when holding the key pressed in) for now the ACC IN signal for my Android headunit is coming from the ignition 2 position, so it only works when my dash is on, whith all the engine systems, with engine running or not I belive I can use this module setted on program 4 to allow my headunit to keep working for 30 minutes after I turn ignition off also I can cut power for the module when locking the car thanks for your video!

Does this work under the hood for cooling fans just to trigger my thermo switch ground(a few amps)?

[@niks7011]

How the cirquit needs to be connected if I want to turn it on by a micro switch when I put a glass on it, then a pump needs to go on for 2/3 seconds and fill the glass and then it needs to go off. How can I do that with the cables and a pump connected to it?

[@stevedonald8815]

There seems to be 2 versions of this board out there. The first one counts up, the second one counts down from the OP setting. Is there any way to configure the board so it counts down? I have several of them and having one that behaves differently is not ideal.

[@1stFlyingeagle]

Can this timer be used for a freezer door left open for say 5 minutes then ring the alarm. And if door is closed within set time and door is then closed timer resets. No Pizzo buzzer noise. Trying to make safety for the freezer door. an open door led light comes on. What I want is if the door is not closed in a set amount of time the timer then would go off and send power to the Pizzo buzzer.

[@GabrielSilverman]

Hello! I have this unit and your video has been extremely helpful however I'm finding that program P2 delays the relay as expected and then turns it on (LED lights up) HOWEVER if you press the trigger while the relay is on, the program starts over. In your example, the trigger starts the program but then is ignored if it is triggered again while the relay is open? I also found that my counter is counting UP, not DOWN like yours. Thoughts?

[@davidpurba404]

Hi, can i use this with a nodemcu 8266, i need to control a water pump that will turn on when the humidity reach a certain point. But i only need the relay to turn on for a few second, to avoid an overflow.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

I need help please. It doesn't matter what programming mode I am in, the relay will not activate instantly, it will OP after 10 seconds. I have set the CL on every mode it is available to .1. I currently have it in mode P1.1 with the OP for .1 but it still waits 10 seconds until it closes the relay. In P1.1 that should be instantaneous when triggered. Any ideas?

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Hello sir, I'm just trying to use this delay module, but when I do the steps as you explained, my counter is increasing instead of decreasing, can you please help me out Thank you so much

[@Quasardian]

I hoped this item would work for me, but my trigger signal is inverted. I need the function of P4, but my trigger signal is always on, and the trigger would be a short off pulse. I think it would work if there is a P4(.1) with instead of OP, a CL variant. Otherwise I would need to use a second relay to invert the signal. Any suggestion for similar products, or modifications?

Hi. Great video. My timer board (set for 10s OP on P1.3) just does not switch on the Relay nor the active micro led. Timer countdown works exactly as you’ve mentioned but No Relay functionality. Any idea? Could it be a bad board or do I have to factory reset it, and how? Any help will be much appreciated

[@shahidmahmood7252]

Got it working by accidentally pressing the stop button but it works in reverse instead of ON when the timer starts, relay stays off and turns on when the timer is 000. how to fix that?

[@cesare.g6844]

I bought the timer a few months ago and finally I decided to use it, but it doesn't work properly. If I set the times from 1 to 10 minutes it's all right, over 10 minutes (any value I set) stops at 1 minute and 5/6 seconds. And even with the program in seconds has some problems.

[@steve6375]

So what voltage does the trigger need? Can it be configured for power-on delay? e.g. Switch on power Delay for x seconds Energise relay forever until power is switched off.

[@mpjaonline]

Trigger voltage is 3 to 24vdc most people use the same power source as the timer itself. Look at the section of the video for P2 program it is delay on but max “OP” on time is 999 minutes.
