AA Quartz Module Hook-Up & Operation Instructions
DESCRIPTION
This is a solid state, integrated circuit module unit, which uses a 24 hour quartz timer capable of feeding one or more times per day. The motor unit operates on a 12 or 6 volt gel cell rechargeable battery. The quartz timer operates on a single "AA" size cell battery. The module needs to be placed on the left side of container. (facing front of container) This module is used in our Econo Models, our kits for Ammo Boxes and sold as a replacement timer.
CHANGING BATTERY
Remove screw on each side of top of control unit. Lift top. Inside of module you will see two hex nuts. Remove nuts and lift the clock and install a "AA" battery. Make sure you have "POS." and "NEG." polled correct. Replace clock and hex nuts.
CLOCK SETTING
To set clock to correct time, turn black knob in direction of the arrows to the Set Time Arrow. Always turning clockwise. DO NOT TURN THE FACE! Damage to clock will result.
The clock is set to feed at 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. When trippers hit switch at set arrow, motor will run. If a different feed time is desired, trippers can be removed. To do this, hold face of clock with one hand while carefully pushing trippers off (this will prevent face of clock from turning while removing trippers). Replace trippers at desired feed time. If only one feeding time is desired, remove one of trippers.
BATTERY CONNECTION
To connect battery lead wires to Battery Screw Terminal board, loosen screws. Make sure you connect "POS." red conductor wire to "POS." "+ " screw and "NEG." black conductor wire to "NEG." "–" screw.
Connect wires from Battery Terminal Board to "POS" and "NEG." post on your battery. Make sure again to connect "POS." red wire to "POS." post and "NEG." black wire to "NEG." post. CAUTION: Damage to circuit will result if connected improperly. Also, make sure battery is well charged a weak battery can cause motor to cycle (cut off and on or run all the time). If allowed to continue this can burn up your circuit. Keep battery well charged to avoid damage to circuit. By using a low amp motor in all of our products your battery will need charging about every 3 months if you feed twice a day for about 6 second running time. Longer running will result in battery needing to be recharged more often. Under normal conditions this is all the time needed to keep deer coming to your feeder.
MOTOR CONNECTION
Connect "POS." red motor wire to Motor screw "+" Terminal Board and "NEG." black motor wire to "NEG." "-" Terminal Board, which is located next to Battery Terminal Board on side of the control unit.
OPERATIONS
The PRESS TO TEST switch operates the motor. As a safety feature, test switch will not function until clock face has passed trippers. This takes about one hour. It takes 21 seconds for capacitor to recharge. PRESS TO TEST can operate every 21 seconds at other times.
The variable resistor marked RUN TIME on controller will allow the "ON" time to range from approximately one to twenty seconds. Turning it counter clockwise will produce more run time.
The amount of feed-out is controlled by the run time setting on controller and distance of spinner from feed shoot. The operator can adjust the two settings to vary the amount of feed dispersed. A distance of about ¾" to 5/8"is adequate.
