My first Automation

My first automation - Used a digital timer (600dt - selec) to automate my non-commercial motor. 

This is a simple but yet useful project that still remains working in my home. This is the first real time project for me. I live in a locality where a high parsimony for water has to be maintained, being this the scenario we couldn't tolerate the water being overfilled every-time I filled my overhead tanks .

I thought of solving this problem by using a timer and relay to turn off the motor after a pre-defined delay. Hence I used a industrial timer that is timer 600dt by SELEC, because it has a digital timer and a relay inbuilt in it. Although this timer is far to superior than required I decided to use this because the time can easily be adjusted in future even by a layman with some help.

I also brought some 230V LED indicators along with the timer and some wooden pieces to form a chamber, altogether dint cost me more than Rs.1500 which seems to be very much economical than the commercially available products. Since i made it my-self i was able to make a proper room for it so that it fits my place perfectly .

 The wooden box along with it's indicator lights are shown above. The timer is set to 12 minutes as shown in below figure. The timer is triggered once the motor is turned on the ON-Delay function of timer is used to trip the reply from motor to a LED(red color) after 12 minutes.

I has been more than 6 months since i have installed this project and we use it thrice a day, it just works fine. People who are interested in schematics of please free to contact me.
