VM141 START-STOP TIMER (1sec. tot 60h) and 24V/DC Magnet

Hello,

I am considering buying the following timer (does it come pre build?): VM141 START-STOP TIMER (1sec. tot 60h)
Overview: velleman.eu/products/view/?id=369866
Product Sheet: velleman.eu/downloads/0/info … 141_uk.pdf
Circuit: velleman.eu/downloads/0/modu … _vm141.pdf

What I want to do is use this vm141 timer to cut the power to a 24V/DC Electro Magnet as listed below:
http://www.conrad.nl/ce/nl/product/502309/Elektromagneten-Intertec-ITS-MS-2015-24-VDC-Bevestiging-M3-Uitvoering-Elektromagneten-Begin-en-eindkracht-20-N

Now my main question is. Will this work safely? Cause I noticed the input of the vm141 timer is 12V/DC, and the output of it is 24V/AC/DC? I have some basic electronic knowledge but this confuses me, since the magnet is only 24V/DC

I also wanted to know for sure, whether or not this is a timer which cuts off the power instead of turning it on. What I want is for the magnet to be operation when you start the timer, and that the vm141 timer keeps the magnet turned on for as long as it’s counting down, then finally when done with counting the vm141 unit should turn of the magnet. That’s the way the unit works right?

The last thing I was wondering about, Does the magnet need a separate power supply? I guess not right, the timer will deliver that right? Cause the circuit was a little weird, with one lightbulb on 1 output line, and a battery connected to both output lines…

Thanks very much for helping me out here!

Hello, this will work but the output is only a relay = kind of switch -> does not deliver electricity but closes/breaks a circuit.

Site says that power on trigger is possible: so when powered on the relay will close and open after a certain time. You can also start the timer manually.

Timer needs a separate power supply of 12 Volts, which can be made out of the 24 Volts by using a K1823 or by making your own version of it with an 7812.
