Hi there.
I would like to start out by saying that I am very grateful for this forum and all the people here that are willing to take time out of their days to help others. I usually don't ask questions unless I've completely exhausted Google and tried to learn on my own how to solve my problem.
I have been searching for weeks and have been trying to learn the basics, but have fallen short. I have to get this done though. I need to solve this problem and then study and learn from it so that I can help others understand (I am a teacher who was forced to take over an “Electronic Circuits" class for the rest of this year). I could just ride out the year and let the kids use the time for a study period, but I'd rather try to learn and get to a point where I could teach these kids something. This project is in sync with our Horticultural Department (Aquaponics) and will ultimately be built (about 10 of them) and given to them to help keep costs down for their Aquaponics Project.
Now for my problem...
I need to use a Time Delay Relay to control an 8” In-Line Duct Fan (with or without the Variable Speed Fan Controller).
By "control", I mean that I need the Time Delay Relay to turn the 8” In-Line Duct Fan On for 1-minute and then Off for 4-minutes.
Repeating this process over and over again (24-7).
Something that operates just like this without the day/night functions: https://www.hydrofarm.com/p/APCTART
The In-Line Duct Fan:

The Time Delay Relay:

Description-
Features a Clear Plastic Cover on the Panel, Power On Delay, One Group of Delay Contact.
SpecSheet PDF(s) attached (See PDF referenced with "(best)" first)
The Variable Speed Fan Controller:

Please help me get this Time Delay Relay to control the 8” In-Line Duct Fan. The Variable Speed Fan Controller can be taken out of the equation if it poses any extra pains.
I would like to incorporate the Variable Speed Fan Controller (so we can save power), but I am happy and grateful to get any and all help.
