CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The circuit is designed to drive the direction indicator
flasher relay. Figure 2 shows the typical system configuration
with the external components. It consists of a network (R1,
Pin 6 has to be connected to Pin 2, and the use of capacitor
C is not necessary. The circuit can also be used for other
2
warning flashers. In this example, when the handbrake is
engaged, it is signaled by the light (L1).

The lightbulbs L2, L3, L4, L5 are the turn signal indicators
with the dashboard–light L6. When switch S1 is closed, after
a time delay of t (in our example t = 75 ms), the relay will be

actuated. The corresponding lightbulbs (L2, L3 or L4, L5) will
flash at the oscillator frequency, independent of the battery
voltage of 8.0 V to 18 V. The flashing cycle stops and the
circuit is reset to the initial position when switch S1 is open.

Relay
Senses the battery voltage. When this voltage exceeds
20.2 V (this is the case when two batteries are connected in
series), the relay will be turned off to protect the lightbulbs.
