1. Introducción
The Brrnoo RD72-DC-12V Infinite Cycle ON Off Relay Module is designed to provide precise, adjustable delay timing for various applications. This module allows for continuous cycling of a connected device, turning it ON and OFF according to user-defined time intervals. It features separate adjustments for ON time and OFF time, an external start/stop function, and low power consumption, making it suitable for industrial and scientific control systems.
2. Producto terminadoview
The RD72-DC-12V module integrates a relay, control circuitry, and user-adjustable components on a compact PCB. Key components include power input terminals, relay output terminals, time adjustment potentiometers, and time unit selection DIP switches.

4. Configuración
4.1 Conexión de alimentación
Connect a DC 12V power supply to the designated DC input terminals on the module. Ensure correct polarity: '+' for positive and '-' for negative. The module's power consumption is less than 1W.
4.2 Conexión de carga
The module provides passive relay output (dry contact). This means the relay acts as a switch and does not supply power to the load. Connect your device's power circuit through the relay terminals:
- COM (Común): Connect one side of your load's power circuit here.
- NO (Normalmente Abierto): Connect the other side of your load's power circuit here if you want the circuit to be cerrado (power ON) when the relay is activated.
- NC (Normalmente cerrado): Connect the other side of your load's power circuit here if you want the circuit to be abierto (power OFF) when the relay is activated. This terminal is generally not connected for typical ON/OFF cycling applications.
Ensure the connected load does not exceed 10A.
4.3 External Start/Stop Button Connection
An external passive switch (self-resetting button) can be connected to the designated terminals to start and stop the infinite cycle. Alternatively, an external voltage can be used: a low level (below 2V) acts as OFF, and a high level (above 2V, maximum 30V) acts as ON.

5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The module operates in an infinite cycle mode once started, with the relay switching ON and OFF according to the set time intervals.
5.1 Setting ON Time (RUN TIME)
- Localice el potenciómetro etiquetado "RUN TIME".
- Adjust the potentiometer clockwise to increase the ON duration, and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
- Use the adjacent DIP switches to select the time unit:
- Empezar a "Sec." for seconds (range 0.5 to 1000 seconds).
- Empezar a "Min." for minutes (range 0.5 to 1000 minutes).
5.2 Setting OFF Time (STOP TIME)
- Localice el potenciómetro etiquetado "STOP TIME".
- Adjust the potentiometer clockwise to increase the OFF duration, and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
- Use the adjacent DIP switches to select the time unit:
- Empezar a "Sec." for seconds (range 0.5 to 1000 seconds).
- Empezar a "Min." for minutes (range 0.5 to 1000 minutes).
5.3 Start/Stop Function
- Once the module is powered and times are set, press the external start button (or apply a high-level voltage) to initiate the infinite cycle.
- The green indicator light will turn ON when the cycle starts.
- To stop the cycle, press the external button again (or remove the high-level voltage). The red indicator light will remain ON, indicating the module is stopped.
6. Mantenimiento
The Brrnoo RD72-DC-12V module is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure longevity:
- Mantenga el módulo limpio y libre de polvo y residuos.
- Evite exponer el módulo a la humedad o temperaturas extremas.
- Revise periódicamente todas las conexiones del cableado para asegurarse de que sean seguras.
- Do not attempt to modify the internal circuitry, as this may damage the module and void any potential warranty.
7. Solución de problemas
If you encounter issues with your RD72-DC-12V module, consider the following:
- El módulo no se enciende: Verifique que la fuente de alimentación de CC de 12 V esté conectada correctamente y proporcione el volumen especificado.tage. Verifique la polaridad.
- El relé no conmuta: Ensure the ON and OFF times are set correctly and the module has been started via the external button. Check the load connections (COM, NO, NC).
- Sincronización incorrecta: Double-check the potentiometer settings and the DIP switch selections for seconds or minutes for both RUN TIME and STOP TIME.
- External start/stop not working: Confirm the external button is a self-resetting type and properly wired. If using external voltage, ensure it meets the <2V (low) and >2V (high) thresholds and does not exceed 30V.
- Carga que no recibe energía: Confirm the load itself is functional and its power source is active. Ensure the relay output terminals are correctly wired to the load's circuit.
8. Información de seguridad
Tenga en cuenta las siguientes precauciones de seguridad:
- Always disconnect power before making any wiring changes to the module or connected devices.
- Ensure all wiring is correctly insulated and secured to prevent short circuits.
- No exceda el volumen máximotage (DC 12V) or current (10A) ratings for the module and its relay output.
- This module is an electronic component; handle it with care to avoid damage from static electricity or physical impact.
- If you are unsure about any wiring or operation, consult a qualified electrician or technician.
