Can the intellicenter be used to apply power to a motorized valve for a 7-10 seconds on a regular (daily or other) basis? I have a motorized valve that is normally closed that I need to open daily to purge sand and I'm wondering if I can use the Intellicenter as a timer.

The shortest interval the IntelliCenter can turn a relay on for is one minute.
Does the motorized valve automatically close when power is off?
Does the motorized valve automatically close when power is off?
Something like the ProSense on-interval relay timer could be used, 1 to 100 seconds timing range, 24-240 VAC operating voltage.
The valve closes automatically when power is removed. I can get an external interval timer but I was hoping to see if I could leverage the intellicenter relays. One minute would be too long as only a few seconds are needed to flush the sediments.
You would add the ProSense relay inline with the IntelliCenter relay inside the enclosure. Even though the IntelliCenter relay is energized for a minute, the ProSense relay would only remain energized for the time you define on the dial.
