Timer on Deco fireplace?

I want the Deco fireplace to turn itself off after 20 minutes when I turn it on. It runs on 3 x 1.5 V batteries.

I ordered this timer relay from Amazon – now I'm unsure how to install it in between

?

At the output is the relay with 3 connections

  • COM (Common)
  • NO (normally open)
  • NC (normally closed)

You only use COM and NO to interrupt the battery power of the fireplace. NC remains unconnected.

  1. Charge from the battery compartment.
  2. and then new line brazed between Plus battery compartment after COM
  3. Soldering the original positive line to NO

And now your circuit board needs a power supply. There is

  • GND of the negative pole
  • and VCC of the positive pole

Both solder to plus and minus of the battery compartment.

IN is probably the start button for the running time.

A start button probably comes between IN and VCC (not IN and GND).

This should be enough if your time module can be operated with the battery voltage at all (estimates 3V or ?V is somewhat short for a time module).

Good luck!

I found the module at Amazon now by photo comparison.

(Hilitand-YYYC-7 timer) https://amzn.eu/d/gQagtbU )

So I'd like to write a supplement to protect your nerves:

  1. I always wrote "learning", of course you can also use the "screw clamps" (on the module) instead of "learning".
  2. In the bad/translated guide at Amazon. The connection IN for starting the countdown (timer) apparently gets Plus – Pulse, and not minus pulse as I assumed. So I have to correct my description of the button: A start button probably comes between IN and VCC . (I have also adapted in my answer)
  3. And the power consumption? according to the description quiescent current: 15 mA working current: 30 mA. On the other hand, the comment is in the working current 100mA. If batteries are too quickly empty, an old USB/cell phone charger may be firmly connected (if too much voltage, then with multiple diodes (1N4007), depending on the need to reduce the voltage in steps of 0.7V per diode).

Is that what is expected?

Good luck!

Transistor has perfectly described the one connection variant.

However, consider that the timer always draws power, even if the fireplace is out. A set of new batteries is then required per month – whether the lighting function of the fireplace has been used.

Since I was faced with the same problem of rationalizing my identical deco fireplace, I finally took an old 5 volt cell phone charger and soldered to the battery contacts of the fireplace.

Now, when I turn on the socket bar in my creative studio, the play of light starts. At the end of the session, I will cut the bar.
I don't use batteries.

Have a lot of pleasure crafting.

This can only tell you the schematic

Watch not, a time relay which works with delay. So when you turn on by a pushbutton, then the set time runs and then switches off again – similar to a staircase light.

The relay must have a potential-free contact (no 230V switch!)

Then interrupt the circuit of the battery and lead through this contact.

When the relay is switched on via pushbutton, the relay attracts, the oven gets voltage and works. after set time, the relay switches off again and the OVEN STAYS
