I have a mains powered timer in Aus (230v 50hz) which has an internal
battery and keeps time without the mains so the electronics does not
require 50hz.
Relay operation may another thing, I have never tried to see if it
would operate without the mains available.

I assume you know there are a bunch of electronics distributors in
Sydney and Melbourne who may have a 12 VDC unit you can use? Maybe
even Dick Smith or Tandy?


I suppose this reply should have been directed to the OP who someone
else decided actually lives in the UK.

I have been in electronics for 50 years in Sydney and in recent years
Dick smith has absorbed Tandy.
