DESCRIPTION

A self contained, solid state integrated circuit, control unit, which uses a 24-hour digital timer that, is capable of feeding one or more timer per day. The motor unit operates on a 12-volt gel cell rechargeable battery. The digital timer operates on a single "N" size cell battery.

CONNECTION

The motor unit is ready to connect to a 12- volt gel cell rechargeable battery. Always make sure the positive is poll is connected to the positive red wire and the negative poll is connected to the negative black wire. CAUTION: Incorrect connection can result permanent damage to the timer. Connect RED TO RED and BLACK TO BLACK. Also, make sure the battery is well charged; a weak battery can cause the motor to cycle (cut off and on or run all the time), which will eventually burn the circuit. Keep the battery well charged to avoid damage to the circuit.

CLOCK SETTING

The clock comes with an "N" cell battery. When the battery is completely discharged the timer will become inoperative. The battery  is located in back of the  clock.  To make it easy to remove the battery we have inserted it in a black tie wrap.  Reach behind the panel and take hold of the tip of tie wrap gently pull back  and down.  We also recommend you insert the new  battery into the tie wrap to  make it easy to reinsert the battery.  It is recommended the battery be replaced every two years to insure continued operation. NOTE: The time of day and all program information will be deleted when changing the battery since the clock will be without power. Review and write down program data before removing battery.

1. Carefully pry battery out of its clips. Insert new battery with the "+" end facing the outer edge of the timer case.
2. Set the time and day of the clock: Depress reset button. Depress and hold clock symbol during time setting procedure. If timer is being used as a 7-day timer, press day key until actual day is visible on display. Press "h+" to set the hour and press "m+" to set the minuets. NOTE: Depressing the "h+" or the "m+" key for more than a second will rapidly advance the digits. Release the clock key when the correct time (and day) is shown in the display. A flashing ": " between the hour and minuets indicates the timer has started.

PROGRAMMING

1. Press timer key once (do not keep it depressed). The display should read 1. "ON" and "--:--" for the timer. Press the "h+" and the "m+" to set the "ON" timer you desire. Press the timer key once. The display should read "OFF". Program the "OFF" time for 1 minute latter than the "ON" command. This can be repeated up to six programs. Press the clock key to return to the time of day display.
2. Repeatedly pressing the timer key will cycle through the program using the steps outlined above.
3. If you wish the timer to go off everyday at the same time (24-hour timer) ignore the day key when programming timer.

PROGRAM CANCELING

1. Press the timer key until undesired program is displayed. Press the "h+" and the "m+" to set the hour and the minuets to null "--:--" position. The program has been made ineffective and will no longer be curried out.
2. To cancel all programs, press the reset key. Note: Pressing the reset key will clear the entire memory including time of day and programming.

MANUAL OVERRIDE

1. Press the manual override key  to turn the load ON and OFF without affecting the stored programs (temporary override). Be sure to leave the timer in the OFF mode.
2. This key also acts as a test switch.

OPERATIONS

1. As stated above, the manual override acts as a test switch. Press the button and the display will read "ON" and it will operate the motor. Press the manual override key again to the "OFF" display so the clock will operate properly.
2. The variable resistor marked "RUN TIME" allows the operator to set the "ON" time from approximately one to twenty seconds. Turn clockwise for less run time and counter clockwise for more run time.
3. The amount of feed-out is controlled by the run time setting on the controller and the distance of the spinner from the opening of the feed shoot. The operator can adjust the two settings to vary the amount of feed dispersed. A distance of 5/8" is adequate.

We recommend the gel cell battery be placed on its side with the battery posts on the right side next to the door of feeder.
