Can I add a timer feature on 357-radiotrap-4s1

I am using a 357-radiotrap-4s1 to control portable target systems. A customer would like to add a timer feature would this be possible?

Hello @BalcoDefense,

The documentation states that the radiotrap has “4x relay changeover contacts”.

Yes, a timer could be interposed between the radiotrap and the target system.

However, the contact toggle time is unknown. Is it for the duration of button press, a pulse of fixed length, or something else?

Either way, a traditional time-on delay or a time-off delay is problematic. Also, I also suspect your customer would like a random delay. These requirements place us in either the small PLC or DIY microcontroller domains. In this case, the PLC would detect the pulse from the radiotrap, wait a random amount of time, and then activate the trap.

Please let us know how you would like to proceed.

Sincerely,

Aaron
