I've looked at several threads for this issue and tried several programs.

Can I get some input on this?

Messing around with the timers again. Found that they were coming on far too often.

Set as follows"

Timers
Timer 01
Day of Week ------
Start 08:35:00 PM (Start is unimportant to me)
On Duration 00:04:00
Off Duration 03:56:00
Repeat Count 00
Oscillate on
--------------
PC4

Channel 4
Mode Auto
Function Multi Timer
Timer 1 = 01

The plan is to have it run for 4 minutes every 4 hours = 6 equal doses in 24 hours.

Testing to see what happens.

I have tried a few program settings and don't get consistent results. Could be a brown out, but I wanna know if this setup will/should work.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Make sure Timer2=00 in the Function/Multitimer menu. What you show there should work as long as you're only using 1 timer. Another option is to start at 12:00am and set repeat=5, ocillate=off. The only problem with option 2 is it won't start until 12:00am on the next cycle. The first way doesn't care about time just uses the on/off duration.

Thanks for the reply. Time is not an issue. Just looking for equal dosing over a 24 hour period. I'll go with what I have then and see how it goes.

Thanks again for the input.

For my dosing, I set the repeat count.
Timers
Timer 01
Day of Week SMTWTFS
Start 02:00:00 AM
On Duration 00:04:00
Off Duration 00:56:00
Repeat Count 20
Oscillate OFF

This get's me 20, 4 minutes doses starting at 2am.
