It has a timer circuit,solid state.I was looking at that,but it seems it would be a time delayed on.
But,I could be wrong.
Took some pictures for our armour expert and sent them to him because what I had and the book he had didn't quite match up.

There is also an"offset" setting which you can cause to start slowing down sooner,with no effect.So,I think my countdown is ok,but I'm going to further investigate the inductor that initiates the countdown to make sure it's starting at the vane and not somehow delayed.
