BATTERIES
One week before the batteries are totally discharged the symbol BATTERY will ap-
pear on the display to indicate that they need to be replaced.
Remember to reprogram DIGITAL FEEDER after replacing the batteries.
INSTALLATION
Whilst DIGITAL FEEDER has been specially designed for use in aquariums it is rec-
ommended to place the unit in a position with air circulation to prevent moisture
entering the food compartment.
Release the food compartment (C) by rolling and pulling outwards.
Take off food the cover (A) and fill the compartment (fig. 5/6): do not pack the food
too tightly in the compartment.
Close the food compartment and insert it into position until locking tab clicks into
place.
Make sure the positioning marks coincide (fig. 7).
Place DIGITAL FEEDER on the aquarium hood with the food outlet positioned over
the feeding hole in the hood, finally fix it with the adhesive tape supplied.
The hole should be at least 40 x 40 mm. If necessary, enlarge the existing hole or
cut one possibly on the side opposite the filter ensuring that the hole is not over the
light tubes or other accessories which could cause problems when feeding.
Whenever necessary, it is possible to connect the DIGITAL FEEDER to an air-pump as
shown in fig. 8 to ventilate the food.
A special internal system automatically interrupts the air outlet during feeding,
thus avoiding the risk that an excessive amount of food is introduced into the tank.
ADJUSTING THE QUANTITY OF FOOD
Feed as much food as your fish can eat in about 5 minutes. To control the feed
quantity, just press FISH and adjust by the moving control knob B (fig. 9) on the
feeding outlet until you obtain the required dosage.
The automatic feeder is suitable for dry feed such as flake food and granulates. Do
