Hi everyone, thanks for having a look.
I'm a bit stuck, I've bought a repeat cycle timer which I need help wiring. Its purpose is to time a humidifier for mushroom growing (he he, not that kind). I chose this route due to the shortage of plug and go type products in the UK (under £150 anyway).
I managed to source a secondhand Cycle timer unit, with a base, from Ebay at a good price
I've clearly come unstuck however, as I can't make sense of the electrical diagram on my secondhand unit, which I'm sure is telling me how to wire it.
I have scanned the diagram and uploaded it below. It is a 'Syrelec' repeat cycle timer MDR.U (Rs. Part 260-599), which is discontinued. In fact I think the company was liquidated.
If anybody could advise I would be most grateful.
My theory so far, is that 2,7 & 8 make up the circuitry powering the timer unit, and 4,3 & 1 is somehow the connection for the circuit to be made. I was planning on rigging the unit up to a 24v PS to try and determine its function.
Thankyou for looking, and thanks to anybody who can shed some light on this.
This is the ebay listing of the timer:

PS - Sorry if this is in the wrong forum section, I know it doesn't quite qualify as a project, but it is in no way homework help...
