looking for relay type switch (Elk?)

[Quixote_1]

Hi guys,
I've been working on and ordering parts for my door entry system and I've run into a bit of a block. So far I've been relying on relays (standard PC 12v relays and Elk-924 relays). Now I've hit a point where I'm wondering how I can toggle a circuit on and off indefinitely with a 12vdc current for a duration of 10 seconds. Does Elk or any other manufacturer make something like that?
Thanks for any advice!

Are you saying you want a ten second on, then a ten second off, then repeat this cycle forever; or are you saying you want a ten second on, then turn off after a trigger event/command is received?

You might want to look at the Elk-960 Delay Timer as I'm pretty sure it can accomplish both of these needs.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I'm actually trying to use the 10 second pulse that I will get from the iLock to toggle a switch, as well as use a push-button (doorbell button) to manually apply current and toggle the switch with one press. I thought that maybe there is something pre-made, or I could wire together a couple of relays somehow. Basically what I want is a relay that will change from closed to open and vice versa when current is applied to it (and then stops). It must hold it's position until current is applied again. I guess what I'm looking for is comparable to an appliancelinc that will operate on 12VDC and not require constant power if possible. I'd like to avoid jury-rigging a mechanical device to achieve this.

Thanks

That is EXACTLY what I need. Thanks, Mike! I'm going to see about how to purchase one or two.
