I was going to use the OUT/unwind signal to the winch as my trigger to begin the Eagle timer counting.
I timed 1 revolution equals 1 ft of rope release. I plan to use the timer to count how many feet I have out. Therefore, when off I should have 0 volts.
To my dismay there is actually 0.0009 Volt DC and this is enough to start A103-006 to start counting....ugh don't want it too!
When I operate the winch OUT/unwind position, I measure 0.100V DC. When the winch operates IN/wind-up position, I measure 10+ V DC.
I learned of zener diode. I am not sure this will help with such a low voltage.
Where can I obtain a component that only allows 0.1 volt signal to pass through so Eagle timer can be used?

allowing 0.1 volt or greater “filter” in 12v DC

I have a DC 12v circuit using Eagle Timer A103-006 - Eagle Signal - Panel Mount Timer, Elapsed Time Indicators, 115 VAC (newark.com)

Please advise of my options. thank you
