    Vortech MP40 Feed Timer without EB.

    I want to free up a few outlets on my eb832. Is there a way to program in a feed timer to the MP40's. I am controlling these already with the WXM and currently using a profile. I have two MP40s with programming as follows:

    Right MP40:
    Fallback OFF
    tdata 00:00:00,0,0,15,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 02:32:00,0,0,19,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 08:55:00,0,0,19,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 11:53:00,0,0,44,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 16:01:00,0,0,55,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 17:39:00,0,0,61,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 17:44:00,0,0,100,8,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 17:49:00,0,0,100,8,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 17:58:00,0,0,55,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 21:47:00,0,0,55,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 22:25:00,0,0,15,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 23:59:00,0,0,15,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

    Left MP40:
    Fallback OFF
    tdata 00:00:00,0,0,100,11,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 02:44:00,0,0,100,11,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 05:02:00,0,0,100,11,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 10:39:00,0,0,100,11,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 16:40:00,0,0,100,11,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 23:59:00,0,0,100,11,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

    Am I able to add a line to this code that is something like:
    If FeedA 005 Then (turn to 1% percent?)

    Yes, you can specify a % value in an If Feed statement for a Vortech. The Vortech will run in Constant mode.

    However, a Vortech will not actually run at 1%. The minimum is either 15 or 20% (sorry don’t recall exactly which).

    Ok, i can deal with 15 or 20%. What would this exact code look like? Also do you have to switch it back into my previous mode or will it go back after the feed timer expires?

    If FeedA 005 Then 20

    When the If FeedX statement is no longer true, the output will resume its other programming.

    Super helpful info here! Wondering if there is an option for OFF rather than minimum speed for a feed timer? I would normally just use a power command on the EB but I have a vortech battery backup so that won't work.

    Yes, you can use either 0 or OFF in an If Feed statement with a Vortech:
