columbus27 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I am looking for something that is already built that has an intermittent relay in and a 120v input and out put socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

columbus27 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 My project is I am putting a motion detector in my can donation box. When a person drops a can in a spinning light will come on and I would like the lights on the box to chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max-Paul Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Go to www.grainger.com and do a search for the relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjflory Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Could you explain how/ where the relay falls into the system?tj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Relay would be before the lights. Here let me try to explain like this. wall outlet on the left, then wire leading to the input side of relay. Wire leaving to the right and with socket for lights on the right. Then above relay will be two leads going out to a switch. Switch closes for say 2 seconds. This trips the relay, but relay holds energized for 1 minute. He asked for an intermittent relay. But a delay off would do the trick too, so long as either relay resets when time is over. The switch would have to provide dry contacts for N.O. This switch could be a micro switch attached to a door or tipping bucket, or a motion detection like a PIR.Think stand alone and using the above linked light string. Dont need no stinking LOR for this job. (think blazing saddles "we dont need not stinking badges") Edited September 30, 2012 by Max-Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Maue Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 If you're interested, I did something similar for my donation box. I dint use a motion detector. Rather, a switch. Link to the thread is below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
