    Feed Timer Question

    Hi All!

    I have an odd scenario... I'm looking for some help programming a feed timer, but it needs to happen in kind of an odd sequence.

    I'd like to trigger an outlet (an electro-mechanical ball valve) at the start of the timer. Then 30 seconds later, kill five outlets related to pumps (from basement, and powerheads.)

    Process needs to happen in reverse, too...

    Pumps (or at least basement return pump) start, ball valve gets electricity to open..

    Any thoughts on how to make that program work? I've programmed in this for years; know the "delay" function for the second half of the argument. It's the tiered shutdown that's killing me on how to set it up.

    I'm not using all my feed timers, so if nesting is a way to get it done, I'm cool with it...

    Thanks for your help in advance, and love the product. Any other system, I know this wouldn't even be a discussion point!

    -Andy

    You want this

    Trigger
    Program this however you want from the start of the valve opening until you want the pumps to kick back ON. Alternatively you can use a feed mode.

    Ball Valve
    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Output Trigger = ON Then ON
    Defer 000:30 Then OFF

    Shutoff
    Set OFF
    If Output Trigger = ON Then ON
    Defer 000:30 Then ON


    To the 5 items add

    If Output Shutoff = ON Then OFF
