Title: Change Universal Module (UM506) ON Time
Post by: devedsmith on February 13, 2009, 07:42:35 PM: How do I change the "on time" of the UM506? It seems to be a full two seconds?

There are hardware mods that change it. Involves opening it up and changing a capacitor. Warranty buster but some have done it.

If you want to bust your warranty and can solder, go here. http://idobartana.com/hakb/index.htm
