Hi Folks,
I am trying to design a circuit and I am not sure on the components needed.
I know what I want it to do and I know it's possible, but just can't figure out what I need.
What I want to do is as follows,
Float drops calling for water, operates relay, activates pump drawing water from another tank, tank gets filled to required level, float switch rises opening relay, this is simple enough, but I also want to incorporate a timer, so when the relay operates the timer counts down and should the water in the tank run out it shall only operate for 15 seconds maximum, it cannot be latched on for 15 seconds the timer is only there for backup/safety.
The system shall be run in 12v DC.
There shall be a power on light and a pump on light.
What parts would I need for this, I want it as simple as possible.
Thanks in advance
