Made in Mainland China.
Key Features
- Wide Voltage Input: Dual power supply support — DC 6.5–25V (Power Supply 1) or DC 5V (Power Supply 2). Note: both supplies cannot be active simultaneously.
- Highly Adjustable Delay Range: 0.1–999.9 seconds, 1–9999 seconds, or 1–9999 minutes — set your exact timing with precision.
- Cycle Control: Choose no cycle, 2–99 repeat cycles, or continuous (always cycle) operation.
- Three Dedicated Control Ports: Forward (FWD), Reverse (REV), and Stop (STOP) inputs for complete directional management.
- Dual Trigger Modes: Low-Pulse or Low-Level trigger — compatible with a wide range of control systems.
- LED Status Indicators: Forward (F LED), Reverse (R LED), and Stop (S LED) indicators for at-a-glance status monitoring.
- Energy-Saving Mode: Reduces standby current from 41 mA to just 7 mA by turning off the display and LEDs while keeping all functions active.
- Multiple Function Modes: F-01, F-02, F-11, F-12, F-21, F-22 — covering auto-cycle, trigger-based reversing, level-controlled operation, and more.
- Relay Load: Supports up to 5A load current for reliable switching of motors and other loads.

Function Modes Overview
- F-01: Auto cycle on power-on — Forward T1 → Stop T3 → Reverse T2, repeated N times. STOP port halts operation immediately.
- F-02: Same as F-01, but requires FWD or REV trigger to begin the cycle (not auto-start).
- F-11 (Trigger Reversible 1): Trigger FWD → forward T1 then auto-stop; trigger REV → reverse T2 then auto-stop; with motor protection stop intervals when switching direction mid-cycle.
- F-12 (Trigger Reversible 2): Similar to F-11 but other port inputs are locked during active delay (only STOP can interrupt).
- F-21: Level-based control — motor runs forward while FWD is low; runs reverse while REV is low. FWD and REV cannot be low simultaneously; STOP is inactive.
- F-22: Same as F-21 with STOP port active for immediate halt at any time.
Relay Action Summary
- Motor Forward: Relay 1 ON, Relay 2 OFF — F LED flashes
- Motor Reverse: Relay 1 OFF, Relay 2 ON — R LED flashes
- Motor Stop: Relay 1 OFF, Relay 2 OFF — S LED flashes
Energy-Saving & Factory Reset
- Factory Reset: Press "++" and "--" simultaneously for 5 seconds.
- Energy-Saving Mode: Hold "OK" for 5 seconds to enter; hold again for 5 seconds to exit. Disables the digital display and LEDs only — all other functions remain operational.
Package Includes

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum load current this cycle delay relay module can handle?
A: The relay load current is recommended to be kept under 5A. Exceeding this rating may reduce the relay's lifespan or cause malfunction. Always match your motor and load specifications to stay within safe operating limits.
Q: Can I use both DC 6.5–25V and DC 5V power supplies at the same time?
A: No — only one power supply should be connected at a time. Power Supply 1 uses the DC 5.5mm female jack (DC 5V), while Power Supply 2 uses the VIN/GND terminals (DC 6.5–25V). Using both simultaneously could damage the module.
Q: How do I set the delay time on the relay module?
A: Use the "++" and "--" buttons to adjust the timer values for T1 (Forward), T2 (Reverse), and T3 (Stop). You can select time units of 0.1 second, 1 second, or 1 minute, with ranges spanning from 0.1 seconds all the way up to 9999 minutes for maximum flexibility in your automation projects.
Q: What function modes are available and which should I use for simple auto-cycling?
A: For simple automatic forward/reverse cycling on power-on, use F-01. This mode runs the motor forward for T1, pauses for T3, reverses for T2, and repeats for your chosen number of cycles — no manual trigger required. For trigger-based or level-controlled operation, explore F-11, F-12, F-21, or F-22 depending on your application needs.
