Low budget recycle timer?
I've been on a quest to find
a low budget timer that will give the deer deterrents a short break
from time to time to extend the life of the motor and keep the deer
guessing that much more. I'm thinking somewhere around 1 minute on and
then 1 minute off would be close enough to the ideal interval.
The above timer will run you
about 20 bucks when you factor in postage fees. It's what the industry
calls a "delay" timer. I thought the off period was adjustable and it
had a built in 4 minute on interval.
Once I wired this unit up it
was obvious I had made a mistake. The delay happens right after you
turn it on. Once the time has elapsed the unit comes on and stays on.

I'm open to any and all
suggestions. There is a heavy
duty solution, but expect to pay anywhere from 70 to 90 bucks for
the CAP recycle timer which allows for both on and off times to be
adjusted.
