I would appreciate any timer connector pin-outs for international setups for switching gear for turning targets.
Any photos would also be appreciated.

Re: Research: Building a better 25m timer
Timer input voltage is usually mains voltage AC.
Some timers can also be 12DC (battery) for remote or isolated ranges.
Timer target output will depend on the type of turning target system
and the style of solenoid/ram actuator.
Timer target signal output voltage can be mains AC or 12vDC / 24vDC.
The way you wire up the targets can either be powered to face or
powered to away position.
Our range is wired powered away, that way if only one range has a
timer in use and the air compressor is on, then the other ranges
have faced targets and are usable.
A simple way to wire is using a car trailer/caravan 5 or 7 pin plug.
Turner connections are as follows:
2 Tardet Turner system:
Green = common negative
Yellow = left turner positive
Violet = right turner positive
3 Target Turner system:
Green = common negative
Yellow = left turner positive
Red = center turner positive
Blue = right turner positive
