The HCW-M135 is a digital time delay relay module, primarily used to control DC motors, lights, LED strips, micro-pumps, and solenoid valves by switching them on and off at pre-set intervals. It's a versatile tool for creating timed sequences and can be triggered by various methods, including switches, sensors, or other electronic devices.
Key Features and Functionality:
Time Delay Control:
The HCW-M135 allows you to set precise time delays for on and off periods, enabling you to create various timed sequences.
Trigger Options:
It can be triggered by a variety of inputs, including manual switches, sensor outputs, or even other electronic circuits.
MOSFET Output:
It uses MOSFETs to switch the load, offering fast switching speeds and no noise or interference.
Wide Voltage Range:
It can operate with DC voltages from 5V to 36V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Memory:
It stores all settings in non-volatile memory, so they are retained even if the power is interrupted.
Safety Features:
It includes an emergency stop function and reverse polarity protection.
Power Saving:
It automatically enters sleep mode when inactive, reducing power consumption.
Independent Settings:
You can set different parameters for on time (OP), off time (CL), and delay time (LOP), which are all stored independently.
Common Applications:
Automated Lighting:
Control the on/off times of lights, LED strips, or other lighting systems.
Motor Control:
Precise control of DC motors for various applications, such as pumps, fans, or robots.
Pump Control:
Switching pumps on and off at specific intervals for irrigation, water circulation, or other applications.
Solenoid Valve Control:
Activating and deactivating solenoid valves in various applications, such as fluid control, pneumatic systems, or dispensing systems.
Automation Projects:
Creating custom automation sequences for various home or industrial applications.
How to Use It:
1. Connect the Module:
Connect the power supply (5V to 36V), the trigger input (e.g., a switch, sensor), and the output (e.g., a motor, light) to the corresponding terminals on the HCW-M135.
2. Set the Parameters:
Use the buttons on the module to select the desired time delay for on and off periods, as well as any other settings (e.g., trigger type).
3. Trigger the Module:
Activate the trigger input to initiate the timed sequence.
4. Monitor and Adjust:
Observe the output and adjust the settings as needed to achieve the desired timing.
