It uses a coil heater to heat an element that closes contacts. The resistance of the coil determines the time it takes...

The sequencer basically works like this: There are 5 sets of contacts on the sequencer that open and close at different time intervals. Applying the appropriate voltage to the sequencer starts a...

I have a good solid 5VDC supply, and have connected it as in the Manual3 shows. I do not have a Diode across the coil. Should I have one? I can drive the relay...

I chose this one because it seemed the simplest for the project that I was working on. After placing the order something in the specifications grabbed my...
