2 DIGIT COUNT DOWN TIMER

2 Digit Count Down Timer is a utility Count Down timer project for upto 99 seconds of countdown time. This
project can find many uses in your shack and home. The relay output remains on during the Count Down
VCC
period, allowing you to interface load or alarm that you want to keep it on for a certain amount of time (in
seconds).

This is a microcontroller based 2 Digit (99 Seconds) Count Down Timer. This Count Down Timer
is very easy to use and easy to configure. This kit can find a lot of application areas where you
need a device to remain ON (or OFF) for a certain period of time (upto 99 Seconds). Power to the A Q1
BC547
circuit is applied at CN1 (12 VDC). D1 provides the reverse polarity protection to this kit. LED D2 R20 10K
confirms DC Power Supply to the board. S1 and S2 displays Count Down time. J3 provide an
easy way of connecting external switches to this board. LED D4 confirms the relay status. CN1 Connector : Power Supply Input 12 VDC
D2 LED : Power-On Indication
CN3 Connector : Relay Output
Operating Instructions :
The setting up of countdown period and START Function for this kit is accomplished with the help of 3 tactile switches shown as SW1, SW2 and SW3 in
the schematic and labeled as UP, DOWN and SET on the PCB respectively.

I. Setting Time : The default value is shown on display S1 and S2 respectively. You can change this value by simply pressing the UP and DOWN key.
II. Start : You can start the Count Down by pressing SET key. When the Count Down starts the relay is energized, indicated with the glow of LED D4.
Once the Display (S1 and S2) reaches 0 the relay is de energized.
