Apex feed timer programming

[melev]

To avoid forgetting to turn the MP10 back on in my suncoral tank, I plugged in into the Apex. Using Feed Timer A, it looks like it will stay off for five minutes without me changing anything. I never use feed timers, so I'm probably confused. I'd prefer 10 minutes, which I thought I set under Misc Setup for Timer A but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The Mp10's outlet is set to "Pump" and this is what shows up when I select Advanced instead:
Fallback OFF
OSC 005:00/005:00/005:00 Then ON
If FeedA 005 Then OFF

Shouldn't it be Fallback On to default to ON (powered) all day long? What is the OSC for? Is that to cycle it on and off and on again? I did google this, but got more confused.

EDIT: The timer counted down to 0 and after 5 more minutes the pump came back on, so the Misc edit for Timer A worked.

EDIT2: Looks like that didn't work, so I changed the Mp10's outlet programming to Advanced:

Set ON
If FeedA 005 Then OFF

Thats the easiest way to do it.

Osc is for oscillate. On a certain amount of time then off a certain amount of time per hour or whatever you set it for.

That's how I have mine (except for 10 minutes). The MP10 and the return pump are both setup like that. Works great.
