2.3 Understanding the Timer

2.3.1 Number of meal times per day

The Autopetfeeder is capable of feeding your pet 8 times per day. You can set the ON time and the OFF
time for the feeder 8 times per day. This will give you control over the amount of food you feed your pet
and also the time you pet is fed. By pressing PROG button you will enter into programming mode. The
display will now show 1ON . This means program #1 and ON time (time when the feeder turns ON) By
pressing the PROG button again the display will change to 1OFF . This means program #1 and OFF time
(time when the feeder turns OFF) The time between ON and OFF determines the quantity of food fed to
the pet by the Autopetfeeder. By pressing PROG repeatedly we can program up to 8 times i.e. 8ON and 8OFF

2.3.1 Setting ON and OFF Time

The pet feeder is capable of feeding dierent sizes and shapes of pet food. Hence, the quantity of food
dispensed per minute changes. It is advised that you measure the quantity of food that your pets consume
for every schedule by testing the feeder on the ON mode and pre-determining the amount of time
required to feed your pet.

ON/AUTO/OFF Mode

Now let us understand the dierent modes of operation in the timer.

In ON mode the timer is cuto and the feeder
dispenses food continuously. So if you feel that you
need to feed your pet a little more than the
schedule time just select this mode. This mode is
also used to prell the auger on rst time use and
measure the quantity of food you schedule every
meal time. This is more like a manual feed.

In AUTO mode the feeder works as per the
program schedule. In order for AUTO mode to work
properly you must cycle from OFF mode to AUTO
mode. Do not cycle from ON mode to AUTO mode
as the feeder will feed continuously.

In OFF mode, the feeder does not work. So if you
choose to feed your pet manually use this function
to turn o the feeder.

To put the timer in AUTO mode
always cycle from OFF mode to
AUTO mode. Do not cycle from
ON mode to AUTO mode as the
feeder will feed continuously.
