Jebao MFD 10 Automatic Fish Feeder User Manual

Introduction

The Jebao MFD 10 is an advanced automatic fish feeder designed to provide consistent and precise feeding for your fish. It features a 10-liter capacity and offers versatile control options, including WiFi, programmed scheduling, and manual operation. This device ensures your fish are fed accurately at specified times and quantities, making it suitable for various aquatic environments.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present: the feeder unit, power adapter, and any included accessories.
2. Power Supply: The feeder can be powered by either 4 LR14 batteries (6V) or the provided network adapter. Insert batteries into the designated compartment or connect the network adapter to a power outlet and the feeder's power input.
3. Filling the Feed Container: Open the lid of the semi-transparent feed container. Pour dry fish food into the container, ensuring not to overfill. The semi-transparent hull allows for easy monitoring of the feed level.
4. Placement: Position the feeder in a stable location where it can dispense food directly into the water without obstruction. Ensure it is protected from direct weather exposure if used outdoors, although the instrument is designed to be watertight to protect the feed.

Operating Instructions

The MFD 10 offers three primary control methods: programmed, manual, and WiFi.

1. Programmed Feeding

The feeder allows for automatic feeding up to six times a day. Programming is done via the buttons on the control unit's body and the electronic VC display.

1. Set Local Time: Use the control buttons to set the current local time on the electronic VC display. This ensures accurate timing for scheduled feedings.
2. Schedule Feeding Times: Access the programming menu to set up to six distinct feeding times per day. You can set the desired feeding within minutes of accuracy.
3. Set Dosage: For each scheduled feeding, specify the amount of food to be dispensed. The feeder allows for up to 9 'deliveries' per feeding event, with a maximum one-time feed of 180g. The exact mechanism ensures precise dosage.
4. Activate Program: Once all settings are configured, activate the feeding program. The feeder will now dispense food according to your schedule.

2. Manual Control

For immediate feeding, the device supports manual control:

• Press the designated manual feed button on the control unit to dispense a single portion of food.

3. WiFi Control

The MFD 10 can be controlled through a dedicated WiFi application.

• App Installation: Download and install the official Jebao WiFi control application on your smartphone or tablet.
• Connect to Feeder: Follow the in-app instructions to connect your device to the MFD 10 feeder via WiFi. This typically involves putting the feeder into pairing mode and selecting its network.
• Remote Operation: Once connected, you can remotely set feeding schedules, adjust dosages, and initiate manual feedings directly from the app.

Maintenance

• Feed Level Monitoring: Regularly check the feed level through the semi-transparent container. Refill as needed to ensure continuous feeding.
• Cleaning: Periodically clean the feed container and dispensing mechanism to prevent clogs and maintain hygiene. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure all parts are dry before refilling with food.
• Battery Replacement: If using battery power, replace the 4 LR14 batteries when the electronic VC display indicates low power or the feeder's performance diminishes.

Troubleshooting

• Feeder Not Dispensing: Check power supply (batteries or adapter). Ensure the feed container is not empty and the dispensing mechanism is not clogged. Verify programmed schedules are active and correctly set.
• Display Not Working: Confirm power supply. If using batteries, check their charge and correct insertion.
• WiFi Connection Issues: Ensure the feeder is within range of your WiFi router. Restart both the feeder and your mobile device. Follow the app's troubleshooting guide for connection problems.
• Incorrect Dosage: Review your programmed dosage settings. Ensure the feed type is suitable for the feeder and not causing blockages.
