B2J0201 Trigger Delay Module

  • This product is a trigger delay module. It can be used with voltages of 5V, 9V, 12V or 24V. It does not connect when the circuit is powered on. The trigger terminal can receive a high or low level trigger signal. After being triggered by this signal, the module conducts for a period of time and then disconnects. The delay time is calculated from the moment the level is applied; if the signal persists, the relay remains in the conducting state until the signal is removed and the delay ends.

1.3 Wiring Methods

The power supply terminals are directly connected to the DC power input. The normally open and normally closed relay terminals are connected according to the application needs and they are connected in series with the load and load power supply. The trigger terminal is connected to a voltage input to trigger the product according to the voltage change. For the transistor output type, the wiring diagram is described in 3.2. A typical wiring diagram of the relay output type is shown below.

Chapter 2 Detailed Function Description

2.1 Delay Time Description

After the product is powered up, the relay is in break state. A high-level or a low-level trigger signal at the input triggers the module and then the relay makes. After an adjustable delay period, the relay will break. The countdown starts right after the trigger signal is applied; if the signal maintains, the relay will remain make until such signal is removed. This product has a potentiometer knob that is responsible for delay time adjustments. The adjustment range of the delay time is 2-30 seconds. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the delay time and counterclockwise to decrease it. In addition to the trigger terminal, the trigger button on the product can also be used to trigger the delay sequence.

2.2 Trigger Level Configuration Description

The trigger level of this product is set by three-terminal pin header and a jumper cap. Set the jumper cap between "o" and "+" to use high level trigger. At this time, connect the trigger terminal to a positive voltage higher than 2V, which is the trigger delay. Set the jumper cap between "o" and "-" to use low level trigger. At this time, the trigger terminal is short-circuited to ground to start the delay.

Chapter 3 Modification Description

3.1 Preface

This product has the following modifications whose ordering numbers are in the form of B2J06[aa]R[b]T[c]M[dd]. The [aa] field is fixed as 01, as the module only has a single-channel version; the [b] field and [c] field are the main version number and sub-version number of the module respectively; the [dd] field determines the specific modification of the module. The module modification classes are mutually independent. If no specific requirement is designated when the product is shipped, the default option is the 12V relay output type, that is, M31. The specific meanings of the [dd] field are as follows.

2: Transistor output type

3.2 Transistor Output Type Description

This version is connected to the circuit in open-drain mode as shown below. The transistor has a rated working voltage of 12-48V DC and a rated current of 10A. With a 10A freewheeling diode on the transistor, it can directly power an inductive load up to 10A. Certain loads e.g. filament lamps, mercury lamps exhibit a current spike during startup; some other loads e.g. heavy-duty motors, speakers and electromagnets emit extremely strong EMI during operation. Due to size limitations, it is impossible to implement good power line filters on this module; thus when the power of such loads exceed 1W it is recommended to use standalone power sources for the module and to place these loads as far as possible from the module, or the module may repeatedly reset when the load powers on.

Compared to relays, transistors are far more sensitive. Thus, when the module is being powered off, the internal states of the NE555 may become invalid; even if the delay is untriggered, the transistor may make for a moment and then break. This issue is nonexistent on the relay version, but must be accounted for when using transistor version modules, especially when the devices connected to the output may respond to such momentary pulses. A effective countermeasure is to use power sequencing: make sure that the product is powered on before the output is powered on, and that the output is powered off before the product is powered off.

4.4 Notes on Reliability

This module is only qualified for commercial applications due to its miniature size, thus it is not recommended for formal industry situations with strong interference. Additional power filters and/or port filters are required if it must be used in this way. If such additional filters are not desired, a switching power supply with Electrical Fast Transient (EFT) resistance is required to power the module and the power supply cord must be shorter than 3m.

In addition, if the load exhibits current spikes during startup or emit extremely strong EMI during operation, it is recommended to use standalone power sources for the module and to place these loads as far as possible from the module, or the module may repeatedly reset when the load powers on, especially in cases where the power source has poor transient responsiveness or the 5V version is used.

During the test, the negative supply of the module is directly connected to the earth by default. The same connection should be made to obtain the stability index in the table above.

Chapter 5 Appendix

5.1 Typical Applications

The sound control light in a certain stairwell is required to turn on after the sound sensor detects the sound signal and turn off after the sound signal disappears for about 20 seconds. It is known that the sound sensor outputs a 5V high-level when it detects the sound signal.

5.1.1 Requirement Analysis

A relay input and an output are used in this application. The power supply voltage of the module is 12V generated by 220V AC mains power adapter, which can be completed by the B2J0201 M31 module.

5.1.2 Circuit Design

According to the above requirements, connect the circuit as shown in the figure: The trigger level is set by a three-terminal pin header and a jumper cap. Set the module jumper cap to the upper position and select high-level trigger in this application. The delay time is set by adjusting the knob on the potentiometer. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the delay time and counterclockwise to decrease it. The adjustment range of the delay time is 2-30 seconds. In this application, we set it to 20 seconds.
