Setting up: Caution: Secure the DuplaMatic to the aquarium using the mounting clips (11) so it will not fall into the aquarium. If
the DuplaMatic is powered exclusively by the built-in rechargeable battery, then we recommend that you charge it before installing the
DuplaMatic using the enclosed power supply unit (13). To do this, simply connect the power supply unit (13) to the socket (5) for the
DuplaMatic's power supply unit (13). It takes approx. 5 hours to charge a completely flat battery.
Mounting and installing: The DuplaMatic can simply be placed on either the cover glass or the lid of the aquarium using the enclosed feet
(12). Alternatively, the DuplaMatic can also be easily and securely fastened to the glass railing or glass edge of the aquarium using the moun-
ting clip (11). To do this, use the adjusting screw to open the mounting clip (11) until you are able to secure fix it to the edge of the aquarium
or the aquarium cover. The maximum adjustment range is 2.0 cm. The feeder can be turned 360° horizontally, making it suitable for virtually
any aquarium type. The suction mounts on the feet (12) prevent the DuplaMatic from slipping on smooth surfaces, such as a glass cover.
Note: If the aquarium has a very small feed opening, the funnel (14)
will prevent the feed from being scattered on the lid or cover.
Power supply: The DuplaMatic can be powered via the mains or the integrated, rechargeable battery pack. This means the DuplaMatic is
also particularly safe during mains failures and the programmed information won't be lost! To operate the DuplaMatic from a mains power
supply, connect the enclosed power supply unit (13) to the power socket (5). The included battery pack will automatically be charged
during mains operation. When using it for the first time, the battery should be charged for at least 5 hours. Depending on the feeding
frequency and drum rotations, a fully charged battery will last up to 12 weeks or approximately 300 feeding intervals.
Filling the feed drum and setting the food amount:
The feed drum (8) can be filled with different types of feed after removing the cover (9). In addition to granulated
food, the feed drum (8) can also be filled with small food pellets (up to 4 mm), food tablets, flake food or even small
dried feed animals. This means that you can still provide a varied diet even while you are on holiday.
Note: Only fill the individual feed compartments with the amount of feed that should be given per feeding interval.
Programming:
The DuplaMatic can be easily programmed by simultaneously pressing down the MODE and SET buttons, or the and buttons.
