Gday everybody. I was looking online for help & came across this forum so thought I would post...I have a love of electronics but not much knowledge so please bare with me!
I need a simple timer-switch for a remote diesel generator. The generator will be switched on via a PL60 Plasmatronics regulator when our solar battery bank gets to a predetermined voltage.
The circuit needs to be Normally Open - then when it switches there needs to be a positive current to a relay to keep the injector solenoid open (so far so good next bit is what I am having trouble with). There also needs to be a timed output to the starter relay of 1-2 seconds.
That's it. Simple I know, but the timer bit is hard to find info on. Do I use a 555 circuit? (I don't really know how or what this is but read a bit about it in another forum - looks a bit complex for something so simple?
Anyway if you have the time to reply it would be highly appreciated stuff@ploth.com
