Moultrie Feeder Activator User manual
Instructions for the Feeder Activator
THANK YOU for your purchase of the Feeder Activator. Please read this sheet
before using the unit.
If you should have any questions about this product or any other Moultrie
product, please contact us
using the information on the back of these instructions. Please register your Feeder Activator at
www.moultriefeeders.com/warranty-form to activate your 1-year warranty.
The Feeder Activator allows a feeder motor to be remotely
activated from up to 300 feet away.
The Feeder Activator consists of a Receiver that mounts in your
wildlife feeder and a Handheld Transmitter.
When the button is pressed on the Transmitter, a signal is sent
to the Receiver which activates the Feeder motor for a period
of ve seconds.
The transmitter is powered from an onboard battery, and the
Receiver is powered from your feeder battery.
The Feeder Activator works with most wildlife feeders that
meet the following requirements:
a) When the battery is installed in the feeder, the positive
and negative contacts are exposed and accessible -
enabling the connection of the Feeder Activator
power wires (with alligator clips).
b) The two wires that run between the feeder circuit board
and the motor are accessible - enabling the connection
of the Feeder Activator motor wires.
NOTE: On Moultrie feeder kits, there are two separate
wires labeled “Feeder Activator Connection” that should
be used for connection.
The Feeder Activator may be used in a metal Feeder enclosure
if the Antenna Wire can be routed outside the box.
Disconnect the battery from the Feeder. Holding one of the
provided Connectors in the orientation shown, push the
Receiver’s Red Motor Wire into the rear hole until it reaches
the internal stop.
Slide the positive wire that runs between the Feeder’s circuit
board and the motor into the side of the Connector as shown.
The positive wire may be red in color, marked “positive”, or not
identied. If it is not identied, select either wire.

Connect the battery to the Feeder and then to the Receiver.
Connect the Red Wires to the positive terminal (+) and the
Black Wires to the negative (-) terminal.
Remove the protective cover from the double sided tape on the back of the Receiver. Position the Receiver on a
clean and dry location inside the Feeder.
Route the black Antenna Wire inside the plastic Feeder enclosure. The Antenna Wire should not be folded or in
contact with the motor. If using the Feeder Activator in a metal Feeder enclosure, the Antenna Wire must be
routed outside the box in an area that is not accessible by varmints.

WIRING THE RECEIVER - MOULTRIE FEEDER KIT
B2
If installing on a Moultrie feeder kit, locate the separate
wires labeled “Feeder Activator Connection +/-” as
shown in the photo. Use the steps from Section B1 to
install the receiver wires onto these activator wires.
This will prevent you from compromising the wires that
run between the timer circuit board and the the motor
on your feeder kit.
