Avast Marine Auto Feeder

PeSam22 · Feb 17, 2026

I have an Avast Marine auto feeder and have had it set up for a while now as follows:

OSC 000:00/000:30/000:30 Then ON
If Time 00:00 to 10:00 Then OFF
If Time 10:02 to 13:00 Then OFF
If Time 13:02 to 16:00 Then OFF
If Time 16:02 to 00:00 Then OFF
If FeedD 000 Then ON

I would like the same schedule but want to run it for 45 seconds each feeding cycle if someone could please lend a hand in doing this please.

With the current set up is it set to start feeding at 10:00:30, 13:00:30, 16:00:30 and run for 1 minute and 30 seconds?

I think your set up is a little more complicated than you need it to be.

If I'm understanding correctly, you want to feed 3 times a day, 45 seconds each, at three hour intervals - 10 AM, 1 PM and 4 PM.

This is the code I use to run mine, which feeds 5 times a day, 30 seconds each, at half hour intervals, between 5:00 pm and 7:00 PM:

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/000:30/029:30 Then ON
If Time 19:01 to 16:59 Then OFF

It uses the Oscillate command (OSC) which alternates between being on and off depending on the parameters you give it.

So to format it the way you want it, you could use this code:

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/000:45/179:15 Then ON
If Time 16:01 to 09:59 Then OFF

What that will do: At 10:00, the OFF condition ends. At 10:00, it will turn on. It will then run for 45 seconds, and then turn off for the next 179 minutes and 15 seconds. At the 180 minutes after 10:00 (so, 1 PM), the cycle will restart, and again at 4 PM. Then, once the time ticks over to 4:01, it will be off until 10:00 AM.
