MistKing® Repeat Cycle Timer (RCT-24) is ideally suited to control MistKing® misting system in repeated patterns. Please note that you
can have different ON and OFF cycles during the day and night. RCT-24 is a perfect choice for aeroponics and many plant growing
applications. Current time, length of ON and OFF for Day and Night cycles, as well as DAY and NIGHT start can all be configured.

MistKing® Repeat Cycle Timer does not use a photo cell to specify Day and Night modes. In our experience, a photo cell often incorrectly
gauges the start of day and night due to physical timer placement, shade, and conditions of the environment, which leads to undesired
configurations and user preferences. Instead of a photo cell, MistKing® timers rely on specific Day and Night times controlled by an
internal clock. Extending Day and Night, if needed, is very easily accomplished.

Example: Current Time 3:30 pm. Day starts at 6am, Night set to start at 6 pm. Day ON 4sec, OFF 2 min. Night ON 5 sec OFF 60 min. The
timer will work in a continuous and repeating pattern during the day, misting for 4 sec every 2 min. At 6 pm, it will switch into NIGHT
mode and will mist for 5 sec every 60 min.

Repeat Cycle Timer Connection
1.
Connect the BLUE lead on the repeat cycle controller to the
power adapter of your MistKing misting system.
2.
Connect the BLACK lead to your pump and ZipDrip (if
available). DO NOT plug ZipDrip to blue lead.
NOTE: Repeat controller works only with MistKing
systems and therefore requires additional Mistking
components to work properly.
Using the repeat cycle timer with
non-MistKing equipment voids warranty.
