Do 12v timers like this exist?

As mentioned earlier in the tread, I would send REUK an email neil@reuk.co.uk. Neil will make a bit of bespoke circuitry to do exactly what you want for a few pounds, I've used him several times and he's good.

Thanks, I'll give him a try

That's exactly it - any idea if they sell in the UK, I couldn't find a UK page?

They used to have an English website. But I use the German or Dutch/Belgium sites. If Conrad has it, then Maplin might too. Conrad ship to the UK.

Lots of 12v timers out there but I want one to control a coolbox running 15 minutes on, 30 minutes off. Something like this but 12v.

Any ideas?

Would a thermostat be better and easier?

If only I could find a coolbox or mini fridge that has one! The best I can find is the Tropicool that is fixed at 5 degrees, but it will still be on most of the time. Fridges start at £350 and my maximum budget for this is £125.

I wish we could keep our little Engel, best bloomin fridge I have ever used but it just won't fit in the new galley. If I'd known, I would have redesigned the galley so it would fit in

What about... http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=31698

Thanks for the link, not sure how I get the unit into the coolbox and run the wires in and out - bit beyond me. Thanks anyway.

RS do loads of time delay relays. Have a look at this one from Finder.

It'll run on 12vdc and you can set both on and off times with a flat screw driver.

I would keep the module outside the coolbox, in a metal or plastic enclosure from Maplin and run the thermistor to the coolbox so the wires are just going in past the door seal.
