Need help with a timer

I'm trying to find a timer that will turn my inline fan on every 30 minutes for 5 minutes.

For example: I would like the timer to turn on at 1pm and turn off at 1:05 pm. Then come back on at 1:30pm and turn off at 1:35pm etc etc etc.... for 24 hours a day.

Is there a timer out there that can do this?

Thx

A cycle timer would do it but you`d be better off using a thermostat.

Thx for the reply.

Fan is not being used for temp control. It's being used to bring in fresh air. This way the tent gets fresh air every 30 minutes.

Get a digital timer. You can have up to 30 settings on it. I got mine at lowes. But I think you might have a problem with finding a timer with that many settings. I run mine ever hour for 12 hours, then its on the entire time the flower room lights are on. Good luck.

Ahh..then its definitely a cycle timer you need. Just set the "on" time for 5 mins and "off" time to 30 mins and it`ll cycle on and off all day long. Only downside is they are fairly expensive.
