How to program 1 minute intervals with Apex?

[JCOLE]

I picked up a BRS 1.1ML doser to dose Acropower daily. I am trying to set it up to run 5 times throughout the day for a minute each time. I tried the following programming but it does not run for a minute. It runs for two minutes and I cannot figure how to get it down to a minute. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
When On > 005:00 Then OFF
If Time 12:00 to 12:01 Then ON
If Time 14:00 to 14:01 Then ON
If Time 16:00 to 16:01 Then ON
If Time 18:00 to 18:01 Then ON
If Time 21:00 to 21:01 Then ON

You need to add a Defer timer to reduce the On time. See my tutorial on Apex Timers for examples: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/neptune-apex-programming-tutorials-part-2-timers.689/

Thank you. So if I throw a Defer of 60 seconds then that should put it at a minute, correct? If I throw the general statement in then will it follow everytime its on?

Defer 001:00 Then ON

Yes, the Defer timer will delay your output from coming on for the duration of the timer. So your If Time normally has a minimum of 2 minutes, so if you add a Defer 001:00 Then ON that will reduce the ON time to 1 minute. While the If Time is only granular to minutes, the Defer delay is specified in minutes and seconds, so you could in theory limit the ON time to 1 second by using Defer 001:59.

Perfect. That worked. Thank you!
