How many watts does this draw? looking for countdown switch that can be safely used...

According to the label on the wall wart that comes with the projector, the INput is 200mA @ 120V which calculates to 24 watts input maximum. The OUTput is listed as 6 vdc at 1.0 amp which calculates to 6 watts OUTput. Not much. I'm not sure what you want with a timer for . . . the unit has a timer internal set to 4 hours or so. It automatically shuts itself off. That information is available in the description on Amazon. I've had mine awhile now and still enjoy it.

Switch has an 1800 watt maximum load recommendation. Should work as long as you do not exceed that.

Got a problem with your numbers, CBM: 7.9 amps at 230 volts amounts to only 1879 watts. On the other hand, 5,159 watts from 230 volt (which is the rating of this timer) amounts to 22.4 amps. So, one of your numbers ain't right. Either way, though, I suspect this timer is OK for you. Full disclosure: I'm just a DIYer, so I do not guarantee the correctness of anything I tell you. CdeV

I don't know how many watts it uses, but I know it does not blow a circuit when other electrical appliances are being used. I would say, it uses as much as a crockpot.

The clock is powered by 120V and also has battery backup in case of a power outage. I actually use it inside of a coke machine to turn the exterior lights on and off so I'm not paying for the lights to be on all day. It should work fine for your outlet as it handles 120V in and out. Just Ohm out the wire that goes to your outlet and hook it to the power out wire on the timer. I haven't had an issue with it yet, but I had a friend that got a couple of duds before he finally got a good one. Worth the money though!

not legally...the timer is rated for 40 amps. 40 amps X 240 volts = 8800 watts. to boost the wattage to 9300 would be a fire hazard. look for a 50amp timer.

I didn't but its not a bad idea. how big?no less then 50amps with reset, it depends on how much you draw i don't think you need a relay

Yes, just have your power coming in the Com terminal and out the CK (NO) terminal. This works because this circuit is closed (on) when timer is on and open (off) when countdown is done. See my review "INSTRUCTIONS for this Awesome & Inexpensive Delay Timer Relay" for more specifics.

It will switch 120 VAC and up to 20 amps. I would not recommend switching more than 10 or 15 amps. The timer itself is mechanical, not driven by electricity.

I wouldn't do that. It is only 1000 watt. It can power your tv, computer and maybe a mini-fridge (which will totally drain your battery in no time) but not all at once. If you did hook this into a breaker box, I would strip a power cord to the length you need, plug it into the unit and wire the ends into the breaker box. That would eliminate the opening of the box hassle. it should have its own breaker and a warning label on it to only run very small devices on it and to be sure to turn it off when not in use as, even in standby mode, it will still drain your battery eventually. As an idea of what size breaker you need, consider that a 100watt light bulb at 110vac will draw about 1 amp hour. Theoretically, this unit could power 10 100watt bulbs but I would try to never use more than 700watts (or 7 bulbs, for instance)running constantly just so I wouldn't kick in the units internal protection or blow a fuse. (your dc input should definitely be fused to protect those wires from overheating and starting a fire. I think the unit comes with one but do not remember). Size it to your largest intended load that will not exceed the units rating. I use this on a boat that always has a generator running and a HUGE battery bank (16 6vdc golf cart batteries arranged into 2 banks of 24vdc) but have this on a relay in case of main power failure so it can switch over. I generate enough juice to leave it on all the time. It has worked well since I bought it. It powers a computer with a 500 watt power supply in it, a monitor and some GPS devices. The computer power supply did not like the old square wave inverter and the monitor display was crappy. When I switched to this pure sine wave inverter, those problems vanished.

It's rated at 1250 watts, to be safe I wouldn't use it over 1200. I use it for an 4' electric baseboard heater that is 1000 watts so I know it's safe to use. If you are running a higher watt appliance or heater, look for a 1875 watt rated timer. I had to go to Home Depot to find one. And if you need an extension cord due to a too short cord, be sure to purchase one or two appliance cords rated at 1875 watt.

Hi Julie: Sounds like you have successfully powered the digital timer, but not the switch. The switch side does not power the circuit. You can run the + wire from the battery to one side of the switch and continue the + wire out of the switch to the item you are controlling. Run the - wire directly from the battery to the item you are controlling. IN other words, the digital switch only controls one of the leads to the load, which you must power. You can also just run a jumper from the + side of the timer to the + side of the switch to power the circuit instead of going all the way back to the battery. Hope this helps.

The booklet says "Watts/Channel" is 140 with power protection on, and 70 with power protection off. I'm assuming this is "Maximum" watts/channel. However, I'm not sure how meaningful this is, usually the key issue is clean watts, meaning that as long as you run your volume at a decent level, not full blast with lots of clipping, "max watts" doesn't matter very much. Plus most of the time you're going to be running with protection on, which is why you'd buy this switch anyway.

Yes. You will need a boshe relay. Your switch on would trigger the relay and cut power to the timer. Switch off would release the relay, allowing power to the timer to begin a count down.

i made a circuit with a limit switch, a 12v timer relay, and this siren. It all operates off 12v. I got a selectable power supply from wally world that plugs into the wall. the siren would actually operate off less voltage but for the sake of the total circuit, 12v was best.

Yes. This model is quite versatile. Plus the timer portion will work on 120, 208, 240 or 277v and can be powered from a 3rd source if you wish. You can switch 2 120v circuits independently or together. You can set many stop/start times.

There is a minimum wattage required (60W?) to make this timer work. CFL/ LEDs will not work if the total wattage does not meet the requirements. I still have this timer, not able to use it, not able to return it. I hope this helps.
