IMG_1615.jpegIMG_1614.jpegHi, I’m not that experienced at electronics and I wondered if anyone knew how to wire up one of these? I can’t find a diagram on the internet but can find plenty of people complaining they can’t find one either.
It’s for a Halloween display.  Usually I sit at the window and wait for people to come on to the drive then set off the lights and smoke machine but this year I thought I would get a PIR and my research led me to a 12v relay timer to shorten the trigger time and also to delay the trigger by a few seconds so different effects would happen at different times. 
Would, anyone know how to wire this?
Thanks.

IMG_6917.jpegAs an update to this, thanks to a member called Andy, I got 95% of the way there but the motor was only to test the circuit. What I actually wanted to do was to trigger the remote control of a smoke machine. What I really needed was to close the circuit but not power it. By moving one wire to the set up shown, it worked perfectly. The thick black lead is the end of a microphone cable with a 6.3mm Jack plug. This is the interface for the remote control.
