2.3 Understanding the Timer

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 1 .
This means program #1 and ON time (time when the feeder turns ON) By pressing the PROG button again the
display will change to 1 . 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. 8 and 8 .

The pet feeder is capable of feeding different 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 different modes of operation in the timer.

Press ON/AUTO/OFF button to toggle between
ON/AUTO/OFF mode. The feeder must always be in OFF
mode prior to setting the auto mode. The display will show
the mode in which the timer is set.

In ON mode the timer is cutoff 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 prefill the auger
on first 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.
