How to configure the Scheduled Feed

SCHEDULED FEED, BIOCIDE FEED

The SCHEDULED Feed, sometimes referred to as a BIOCIDE Feed, drives the output (relay) on a scheduled day or days of the week for the user defined duration (expressed in MINUTES). The feed will begin at the defined "Start Time". The SCHEDULED Feed runs on 28 day calendar. The SCHEDULED Feed offers a "Schedule Frequency" option, this option provides the ability to repeat the schedule on weekly intervals (Every week, Every other week, and Every third week).
