555 Timer 5 to 30 Minute| Circuit Project

Descriptipn:
A switched timer for intervals of 5 to 30 minutes incremented in 5 minute steps.

Notes:
Simple to build, simple to make, nothing too complicated here. However you must use the CMOS type 555 timer designated the 7555, a normal 555 timer will not work here due to the resistor values. Also a low leakage type capacitor must be used for C1, and I would strongly suggest a Tantalum Bead type. Switch 3 adds an extra resistor in series to the timing chain with each rotation, the timing period us defined as :-

Timing = 1.1 C₁ x R₁

Universal Timer Kit

Note that R 1 has a value of 8.2M with S3 at position “a” and 49.2M at position “f”. This equates to just short of 300 seconds for each position of S3. C₁ and R₁ through R₆ may be changed for different timing periods. The output current from Pin 3 of the timer, is amplified by Q1 and used to drive a relay.
