AUTO MODEL - Understanding the auto feeding cycle
MEAL
The control panel identifies each feeding time as "MEAL 1", "MEAL 2", "MEAL
3" and "MEAL 4". A "MEAL" is basically the time when the food is being
dispensed. Each "MEAL" will occur four times per day on a four hourly cycle
from the moment you turn the power on. After "MEAL 4" has finished,
the next feed will start 24 hours from when the first feed started.
The blue LED will illuminate to show which meal is due next.
As an example:
8am - Turn power on - MEAL 1 will be dispensed
12pm - MEAL 2 will be dispensed
4pm - MEAL 3 will be dispensed
8pm - MEAL 4 will be dispensed
The feeder will then next feed the following day at 8am and will follow the
same cycle.
NOTE: If you turn the power switch off at any point, the cycle will be re-set
from the next time you turn it back on.
PORTION SIZE
The amount of fish food dispensed during each "MEAL" can be set to four
amounts named "PORTIONS". Approximately 15 cubic cm of food is dispensed
per portion. The actual weight of the of the food will vary depending on the
density and pellet size, although usually this is approximately 5 to 7 grams.
The red LED will illuminate to show the portion size for the meal.
As an example:
1 Portion = About 15 cubic cm of food. (Approx. 7 grams)
2 Portion = About 30 cubic cm of food. (Approx. 14 grams)
3 Portion = About 45 cubic cm of food. (Approx. 21 grams)
4 Portion = About 60 cubic cm of food. (Approx. 28 grams)

AUTO MODEL - Setting the auto feeding cycle
• Turn the power button on. The feeder will automatically start as if it is
dispensing food for the first time and the lights will illuminate on the
display panel.
• Press "TIMER" button repeatedly until the blue light above Meal 1 is
illuminated.
• Now press the "PORTION" button to set how much food will be dispensed
during Meal 1. Press the buttons repeatedly until the red light illuminates
above the portion size you require.
NOTE: If you do not want any food to be dispensed during this Meal, press
the "PORTION" button repeatedly until no red lights are illuminated.
• To set Meal 2, press TIMER button until the blue light above Meal 2 is
illuminated. Then press PORTION button until the red light above the
correct portion is illuminated.
• Continue this sequence until all four meals have been set.
• The feeder automatically saves the current settings after 3 seconds of
inactivity.
NOTE: If you turn the power switch off at any point, the cycle will be re-set
from the next time you turn it back on.
NOTE: If you press the FEED button at any point, the feeder will dispense 1
portion of food. This will not affect the Auto feeding cycle program.
NOTE: You can easily modify the portion sizes for each meal at any point.
After 3 seconds of inactivity the program will revert back to where it left off.
