What are you using to control the Socket Expansion; by itself the Socket Expansion is not contollable? Are you using a DC4 or DC4 or a X10 device and what is LT7?

The programming to turn off LT7 during Feed is:

if Time > 00:00 Then LT7 ON
If FeedA 000 Then LT7 Off

ok so I need to have > 00:00 to keep it off other than when the feed timer is on.

isn't that backwards?

should it be
if Time > 00:00 Then LT7 OFF
If FeedA 000 Then LT7 ON

You might want to explain what you are doing. Having your main pump off except during feeding doesn't make sense to me.

sorry I need to back up I have two Socket Expansion hooked up but I didn't what to have one on all the time so I used a DPDT normally closed relay.

So when the feed timer is on I want it to turn the relay on. But the rest of the time off so the pump is on.
