A wide rage auto turn OFF timer covering 1 minute to 20 hours in three ranges with S1. As soon as power is applied to the circuit the IC1 [555] starts to oscillate happily and feeds clock pulses to the IC2 [4017]. The IC2 [4017] and IC3 [4020] give a combined count rate of 81920 before the output of the IC3 [4020] goes high and turns Q1 on. With pot RV1 adjust the Time.
