Notes:
-
Press
to display timer events.
-
Timer events with overlapping times occur as follows. Example - event 1 starts
at 10:15 for 25 minutes, event 2 starts at 10:25 for 25 minutes; relay turns on at
10:15, relay turns off at 10:25, relay turns on at 10:25, relay turns off at 10:50.
-
Configure “0” as the duration time to disable any of the 10 timer events.
-
Timers configured for over 86399 seconds (# of seconds in a day) are not valid.

Timer
The 5200A has one feed timer. In order to configure feed timer correctly, it is impor-
tant to understand how the 5200A operates based on the feed timer configuration.
The Feed Smart
tm
Timer system must be calibrated prior to use. For proper opera-
tion, the Feed Timer System requires the user to enter the total amount of food to
be dispensed, number of feedings to dispense the food, and a defined time period
within which the feedings will occur.
The Feed Timer can be set to operate for any or all of the days of the week and includes
continuous or timed feeding modes, FCR (feed conversion ratio), and sensor options.
The following definitions are used in regard to the Feed Smart
tm
Timer system:
-
feed cycle - amount of time that all feeds occur in:
-
continuous - feedings occur 24 hours/day
-
timed - length of time between start and end time
-
feed duration - length of time feeder relay is energized;
-
feed interval - length of time between feedings.
Optional Sensor control reduces the amount of food dispensed if DO, pH, or
temperature measurements are “out of range” per user defined configuration. The
FCR (Feed Conversion Ratio) feature automatically computes and increases the
daily amount of food dispensed per FCR configuration.
Notes:
-
It is important that the 5200A be configured with valid data. The feeder system
will not operate properly if, for example, the daily weight of food is greater
than can be dispensed in the defined feed cycle.
-
Disable the feed timer system when changing configuration and/or when
performing a calibration. Enable the feed timer system after configuration
changes and/or a calibration has been done. The feed timer system recalculates
duration and interval times based on the new configuration. Press
after disabling the feed timer system and before making configuration/cali-
bration changes.
Feed Mode
Continuous
Menus →Timers→Feed Smart Timer→Feeder→Feed Mode →Continuous
When the feed timer is configured for continuous feed mode, feedings occur through-
out the day. Feed duration and interval are determined by the daily total weight of
food, number of feedings, and test calibration data. Optional Sensor control and
FCR configuration can also effect feed duration.
