DIP switch

I bought a module from Amazon. There are no instructions for DIP settings. The programmable delays are 1 / 3 / 5 /10 / 15 / 25 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 90 / 120 /180 / 300 / 480 seconds. Is there a convention for moving the settings from low to high?

I wonder whether 30 minutes could be 0111. It is a matter of trial and error at the moment.



 
I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    Good gracious. How did you ever find that? Thank you so much. So for 30 minutes, I need 0110. I will test that right now.

    Thank you again. I built a test rig, and your settings definitely work. The colours are somewhat odd for the UK. It is a nice piece of kit, but it is a shame that they did not provide data.
