However this only max's out at 60 minutes. But I think you might be able to fudge around with the capacitor or resistor on the board and make it for a longer period. Again, though ..... it's all low voltage but you could work that out.

Thanks Jim,

I have actually have a couple of these Altronix units unlocking
doors to a couple of buildings.  But, I need a timer to switch
on and off 120vac.

You may have already read that Rocky pointed me to a unit at
Lowes that pointed me to what I think will work for my application.

Thanks again!!

Have a good day!!
