Paola, from the information you have provided, the JVR TL34 Digital Time Switch needs a 12V power supply on terminals 3 and 4 to make the timer work. This could be from a 12V car battery or a plug in power adapter with an output of 12V which should be provided with the JVR Timer. The terminals 1 and 2 can be used to control a load of up to 250volt 16amps, and the normal state of the contacts is normally open, which means whatever is connected to terminals 1 and 2 will not turn on unless the set time has been achieved. Terminals 1 and 2 are nothing more than pair of contacts just like that of a light switch. If you want to control the electromagnet then a power supply must be provided for it, and the positive power wire is wired through terminals 1 and 2. NOTE: The required power for the electromagnet must be less than 250volt 16amps, which is the rating for the contacts on the time switch.

The Safest Way to Test Electrical Devices and Identify Electric Wires!The Non-Contact Electrical TesterThis is a testing tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and is the first test tool I grab to help identify electrical wiring. It is a Non-contact tester that I use to easily Detect Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use.
The Quickest Way to Check for Faulty Electrical Wiring!The Plug-In Outlet TesterThis is the first tool I grab to troubleshoot a problem with outlet circuit wiring. This popular tester is also used by most inspectors to test for power and check the polarity of circuit wiring. It detects probable improper wiring conditions in standard 110-125 VAC outlets Provides 6 probable wiring conditions that are quick and easy to read for ultimate efficiency Lights indicate if wiring is correct and indicator light chart is included Tests standard 3-wire outlets UL Listed Light indicates if wiring is incorrect Very handy and easy to use.
Strip Off Wire Insulation without Nicking and Damaging the Electric Wire!The Wire Stripper and Wire CutterMy absolute favorite wire stripping tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and this is the tool I use to safely strip electrical wires. This handy tool has multiple uses: The wire gauges are shown on the side of the tool so you know which slot to use for stripping insulation. The end of the tool can be used to grip and bend wire which is handy for attaching wire onto the screw terminals of switches and outlets.. The wire stripper will work on both solid and stranded wire. This tool is Very Handy and Easy to Use. |
