Basic screen
The stand-by screen contains the most important information
about the feeder. You can see the next feeding time, check the
number of feedings a day and the amount of each feeding.
Locking the keys
If no input is made to the operating display for 30 seconds, the
feeder enters 'sleep mode' and the keys are deactivated. As soon as
a key is touched, the message
'Hold for 3 seconds to unlock' appears.
Pressing the middle (set) key for 3 seconds unlocks the keypad.
MAIN MENU
You can navigate through the menu items using the arrow keys,
and select them using the middle key (set). Then you can change
the setting using the arrow keys. Confirm it using the middle key
(set).
When you use the feeder for the first time, you must set
the time and language using the menu Settings. Using this
menu, you can return all settings to the factory default: 2 doses
of automatic feeding 4 times a day.
AUTOMATIC FEEDING
The Fish Feeder Basic can dispense feed automatically up to a
maximum of 8 times a day. No feed will be dispensed if the
automatic feeding is turned off. Manual feeding is always possible,
whether or not the automatic feeding is turned on. The factory
default applies after a reset or if you do not enter any settings:
2 doses of automatic feeding 4 times a day.
Number of feedings a day
You can set the number of feedings a day bet ween 1 and 8.
The feedings are spread automatically between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. If you opt for 7
feedings, your fish will be fed at 8 a.m., 10 a.m., 12 noon, 2 p.m., 4 p.m., 6 p.m. and
8 p.m.
If you want to change the feeding times, navigate to a particular feeding using
the arrow keys and make your selection with the middle key (set). Then you can
change the hours using the arrow keys, and confirm the settings with the middle
key (set). After that, you can change the minutes using the arrow keys, and confirm
the settings with the middle key (set). You can repeat these steps to change the
other feeding times. In this way, you can also set feeding times before 8 a.m. and
after 8 p.m. The intervals between the feedings must be at least 30 minutes.
Amount per feeding
You can set the amount of feed per feeding at between 1 and 9 doses. You can test the
dose dispensed and select the number of doses per feed. The automatic feeding
system does not dispense the set amount of feed at once; it releases the doses at
intervals of 30 seconds.
