RKE Timer Question

[xilez]

Setting up a timer for dosing pump, no PC, so only using control pad. Could some tell me if this correct?

I would like the pump to turn on at 1130.
Dose for 35 seconds,
Then stay off for 2 minutes,
Then dose again for another 35 seconds.

Your timer looks good.
You need to select multi-timer as your function.
Select timer 01 for the first timer.
Select off as the default.
I would also create an alarm with something like a ph of 8.4.
Use that alarm on ch1 to turn off the dosing if it's tripped (for dosing alk).
This will turn off the doser in an overdose situation.

And you may want to use ch2 or ch3 if it's a low power dosing pump.
Save 1 & 4 for things that draw more current.

And if you make a standbuy, you can auto turn it off when doing a water change.
My standbuy turns off dosing, skimmer and return pumps.

Thanks man!

Alarm is a good idea, I will set one up tonight.

I have been trying to find a good guide for setting up Stand-by, using the manual alone leaves a lot open to interpretation.

In your second picture, select standby, then select the standby you want.
When you want to standby, press the standby button (1 press for 1, 2 for 2, etc), then press enter, you are now in "standby".
I use the default 30 minutes.
You get out of "standby" by pressing "back", or waiting until the times elapses.
That's the beauty of using standby, it's impossible to forget to turn something back on as it will turn itself back on.
