12v timer

[gary3029]

I have an alarm system on my boat that is linked to a mobile phone which calls me if anyone enters the boat. Does anyone know where I can get a 12v timer that can run from the cig lighter power point to the phone, I will have to modify I am sure. This would allow me to charge the phone say every few days without leaving it constantly charging?

Go to Radio Spares and see what they have to offer. When you are on their home page, type in 12v timer in the search box. Click on this link to get to RS http://snipurl.com/jjxr.

RS equiment is not cheap, but it is generally good.

Couple of possibilities...

If you want a ready-made 12v timeswitch, you could use an Eberspacher timer (often found on eBay) or a Siemens Logo module (sometimes found on eBay, make sure it's the 12v version). If you have to pay more than £30 or so, it's probably cheaper just to leave the phone on charge.

Try most intruder alarm suppliers, I carry one on my box paid about £10-£12, can be adjusted from 5 sec to 120 mins (I think), quite clever little gadged an be used with another timer to restart original etc try CSD professional 0208 591 8737 should have a branch near you.

Just for something slightly different...

Get a digital central heating timeswitch, they come as battery models as well. This will provide you with days of week and times of day.

Have a look at
http://www.12volt.com.au
They have on the front page a timer just what you want. The clock itself runs on a watch battery while the relay operates from 12 vollts and can then switch 12v or 240v. Lots of other 12 v stuff too regards ollewill

Not sure where you are based. Try CPC as well. www.cpc.co.uk., also caravan and trailer suppliers.
