Time is set by potentiometer R2 which provides a range or 1 sec. To 100 seconds with timing capacitor C1 of 100uF. The output at pin 3 is normally low and the relay is held off. A momentary push on switch S1 energies the relay which is held closed for a time 1.1 X (R1+R2). C1 and then released. The exact length of the timing interval will depend on the actual capacitance of C1. Most electrolytic capacitors are rated on the basis of minimum guaranteed value and the actual value may be higher. The circuit should be calibrated for various positions of the control knob of R2 after the timing capacitor has had a chance to age. Once the capacitor has reached its stable value, the timings provided should be well within the photographic requirements. PartsC1 - 100uF, 25V electrolyticC2 - 0.01uF, disc ceramicD1, D2 - DR50 or 1N4001R!,R2 - 10K ohms, ¼ wattsR3 - 1 M ohms, potentiometerRLY1 - 12V, DC relay, operating current less than 200mAS1 - Push-to-on switchU1 - NE555 timer ICP1 & P2 are for exposure lamp ckt.
