XDP 10 Amp Mini Timer Time Delay Relay .2 Sec to 400 Days 6V 12V 18V. Power On/Off Delay, Cycling and Trigger. Black

I bought this timer for the rear view camera that I installed in my 20-year old car. I set up the rear view camera to use the reverse light as the 12V DC power source, but that configuration has a short coming that the rear view get cut off as soon as I shift out of reverse. I wanted an "off delay", so that the rear view camera stays active for a few seconds after I shift out of reverse. This timer is compact, mechanically rugged, and versatile enough for this application, although there is no operational temperature range specified. The instruction manual was reasonably readable and comprehensive, but the terminology related to trigger signal needs some clarity. The manual could have been much clearer if they explained the logic this device uses to set up internal pull-up and pull-down resister so that the triggering signal can be of any permutation of "high impedance vs low impedance to GRD/B+" as well as flexibility of setting it up as a voltage level-sensitive vs. edge triggered device. Also, the device programming is straightforward and easy, especially if you get the optional configuration board and whole bunch of alligator clip wires. Overall, I am happy with this product, but It may be a little too versatile and cumbersome for people who do not have a background in electrical engineering.

These timers are awesome. Very easy to program. I followed the steps in their cookbook (number 10) to do cancellation for the headlight when the blinker is turned on. (See video) Only issue I had is needed to add a CANbus after the timer to stop a flickering issue I was having. Probably not the timers fault, either the LED or the car. One major thing to note: make sure you have the polarity correct! I followed the color on the CANbus and turns out it was backwards. Once you connect backwards the timer is toast! Hope this helps someone with their project.

Small timer with lots of options for programming. I have mine set to turn off 2 hours after a trigger to power a relay for a power inverter. The programming can be slightly overwhelming at first, but easy once you figure out the procedure. The minutes/hours/days setting was the most confusing in the instructions for me. I found one of their videos on how to set the mins/hours/days and that helped me figure out what I was supposed to do. I then set the timer how I needed pretty quickly. I read other reviews about an extra wire compared to the 5amp. Mine did not have any extra wires and programmed just the same as the 5amp. Maybe they changed the design since those reviews. This is my second timer and I will buy another if I have a project that calls for one.

I bought this timer to operate a heat scavenger fan to cool off an engine bay. I need the fan to operate for 10 minutes after I turn on a 12vdc switch. Also, I need to have the fan turn off on those occasions when I want a shorter run and manually turn off the switch. This timer satisfies my requirements! I did have one problem after it was programmed as it did not seem to power on via the 9-volt battery I used for programming on my desk. I wrote to the e-mail address provided in the instructions, and within an hour or so I received confirmation that my programming selections were correct for my requirements. I was extremely pleased with the prompt and professional response I got. So, with the confidence gained by the response, the next morning, I got up and connected the switch to the 12vdc battery in the vehicle I planned to use it in and tested it again. And guess what: the timer worked perfectly. I don't know why it didn't seem to test well with the 9-volt battery I used for programming. But who cares. If you're curious, for my particular timing requirements noted above, I selected Function #17 and Trigger Function #2. They work just as I need them to. Also, I used a multimeter instead of an LED light to follow the timer's output while timing and testing. It works as well as an LED, and I had the multimeter on hand and didn't have a handy LED. The only thing I would have done differently if I were buying today is that I would have bought the inexpensive programming button kit that is offered as an option. It would have saved me time and effort while programming and would be well worth the few bucks.

So far it is functioning exactly as expected in my application (ON at power up, and OFF 60 minutes later). I like the small size, simplicity, and flexibility. I also like the relatively low OFF mode current consumption compared to other similar products. The 10 Amp rating matches my application well. After watching some of the videos I found it fairly easy to program. The only exception was I had trouble figuring out the seconds/minutes/hours time programming mode. Since I was only going to set it once I decided it was not worth any extra effort to figure this out so I used a toggle switch for time programming and simply came back one hour later to deactivate the switch to yield a 60 minute ON time. The written instructions do not cover this programming mode, thus my 4.5 star rating. The power wires seem a bit small for the 10 Amp rating.

This is an amazing little device with way more functions than I needed. I'm sure I'll come up with more uses in the future. All I'm using this for is to delay turning on the LED light bar on my zero turn. The ZT has a 4 way key for running the machine. The first position of the key turns on the lights. So when you go to start the machine, you have to click through the light position. I didn't like the LED light bar flashing on/off real fast as I did this. This timer allowed me to set a few seconds delay before the light turns on.

I needed a timer for the aux fuel tank in my truck. I looked at several options before settling on this device. When you are trying to set this device up, don't overlook the "cookbook" videos, especially if you are going beyond a very basic setup! I built a "test rig" with an LED light as the load so that I could verify the setup before installation. The programming buttons make this entire process much easier too. I setup the device to respond to a trigger (on/off/momentary on switch) run for 5 minutes and then shutdown. The on/off switch turns on the timer and the momentary on triggers it. A second trigger will make the timer shutoff power to the load. This gives me two OFF options if there is a problem. The help videos are great, they make the programming/setup process much, much easier.

The timer is not difficult to program using just bare wires after you download and read the manual. But I could not program a time delay for three motors in series. The motors delayed starting but would not shut off just kept running. Programming did not work with motors connected and programming did not work with no motors connected (no load). Email support failed so I used chat which did work during business hours - not alot of help somewhat terse. I will try to program using a light bulb as a load then if it works add the motors.

Timer worked as advertised. I'm using it for a one-shot 0.25 second time on delay to open/release vacuum on an automatic choke system on my generator whenever it cranks. The Relay worked perfect and my generator starts consistently now! Yahoo. We'll see if it actually lasts inside my generator enclosure:)

I installed LED daytime running lights on an old hobby vehicle and used a pair of these to turn off the light adjacent to the activated turn signal. They work perfectly and added that extra touch of class to the project.

I needed a device to extend the electric choke on my Honda generator. After months of searching for the right tool for the job, I found this on amazon. For the price I took a chance, and I wasn't disappointed! It is very versatile in its settings and once you get the hang of it it is very easy to program. They have posted some instructional videos for those who are visual learners. Good job guys - I have referred you to a few people already.

Seems to work as advertised. Takes a while to figure out the programming though

Works really well. Setup a delay-off circuit on my snowmachine for the GPS and this worked perfectly.
