If a device has to be switched off after a specified amount of time, then this timer is the ideal solution. Because of the large range of the timer, it may be used in almost any applications, such as switching off television and hifi-equipment, lights (staircase lighting), safety timer for coffee machine, dark-room timer, providing a short ringing signal, etc. Push buttons are provided for starting and early stopping, but it is also possible to control the circuit by means of a relay or an open collector (e.g. our 15 channel remote control receiver K8050)
