Appendix: Advanced Scheduling

In some instances, you can create repeating schedules where the output will turn on for a certain amount of time, then turn off and then repeat.  We call this a repeating schedule.   A good example is if you want something to run for 10 minutes once every hour.

  • Starting Time of Day – It specifies the starting time of the schedule
    EXAMPLE: If you want the output to turn ON at 8 am, STARTING TIME OF DAY = 08:00.  If you want the output to turn ON at midnight, then STARTING TIME OF DAY = 00:00
  • Run Time (How long will the output stay ON) – This specifies HOW LONG a selected output will run
    EXAMPLE: If you want the output to turn ON for 10 minutes, every hour, then your RUN TIME = 10 min
  • Run Count (How many times should it repeat?) – This specifies HOW MANY TIMES the “RUN INTERVAL” will consecutively repeat
    EXAMPLE: If you want the outlet to turn ON for 10 minutes, every hour, from 8 am to 10 pm, then your RUN COUNT = 14
  • Run Interval (How often do you want the interval to repeat) – This is the sum of the RUN TIME, plus the OFF time BEFORE it repeats itself
    EXAMPLE: If you want the output to turn ON for 10 minutes, every hour, then your RUN INTERVAL = 60 min
