EM timer box

We have an older EM timer. There is two pin connector , green wire and black wire. When these are bridged the timer should start ? We have measured 5 volts across these wires.
If this is the correct way to trigger the timer should we see the display counting away ? Or is there any other way of knowing if the timer was activated?

I have tried e-mailing EM without sucess.

Thanks Wayne

 

Hi Mike , you are a star sir !!! When we posted this thread we guessed you would be the first to give us a good answer , thank you.

After posting we went back in the garage and tried a few things , by reading the resistance we could tell it was working , we half expected the display to start displaying when it was triggered , not the case though. We could see the resistance readings on my multimeter as it ran through the six shooter.
Problem solved.

Thanks again Mike

 

hey Wayne
you dont get a display when its operating as you have found out.
I have a couple of these if you get problems

 

Thanks Graham.
