FAQ
Does the AutoFood automatic feeder work with all types of batteries?

In general, the automatic feeder works with all AA mignon batteries. With zinc-carbon batteries it can happen that despite the display "battery full" the device suddenly switches off under load, for example when feeding. The same applies to all rechargeable mignon cells that do not discharge linearly and suffer a sudden voltage drop and are quickly "completely empty" from "completely full".
For a functioning battery indicator, we recommend alkaline manganese batteries (non-rechargeable), which are available in every supermarket and electronics retailer and represent the standard on the market.

Why does the JBL AutoFood suddenly turn off?

You’ve only pressed one button or the automatic feeder has just started feeding when the machine cuts off completely? Are the display and buttons no longer working? This is a clear signal that at least one of the batteries has too little voltage. Replace all three batteries with new / charged batteries.

What foods are suitable for the JBL AutoFood?

Suitable are: GranoColor mini, GranoMix mini, Grana, GranoColor, GranoMix, GranaCichlid, GranaDiscus, NovoBits, NovoFlower mini, GoldPearls mini, MariPearls, GoldPearls, NovoPearls and all granulates larger than 1.0 mm. Using smaller granulates can lead to overfeeding.

Do not use flake food since it can quickly clog/stick to the screw conveyor. Only use fine flakes the size of a granulate.

Kinderleichte Einstellung! Ich bin selbst kein Fan erst lange Bedienungsanleitungen zu lesen und das ist bei dem Produkt auch nicht nötig. Batterien rein, etwas Rum probieren und fertig. Das System ist zum Glück selbsterklärend. Was mir noch gefallen würde ist ein Rohr welches wie eine Futterdose aufgeschraubt wird und so das Fassungsvolumen vergrößert. Von Haus aus reicht das Volumen aber auch schon massig aus.

Der AutoFood Black ist ein Klasse Futterautomat der währen der Urlaubstzeit eine große Unterstüzung ist. Er Füttert auf die Sekunde genau die Menge an Futter die vorher in die Uhr eingegeben wird. Flocken, Sticks sowie Granulate sind kein Problem. Ich von meiner Seite würde aber Granulat vorziehen denn dieses funktioniert einwandfrei.

Eine Top Unterstützung während der Urlaubszeit.

LG

Comment from JBL:

Hallo F. Kovert, danke für das Feedback. Zur Info, Flockenfutter sollten nicht verwendet werden, da diese die Förderschnecke schnell verstopfen / verkleben können. Lediglich feinste Flocken, in der Größe einer Granulats, können verwendet werden.

Toller Futterautomat, einfache Bedienung die gut erklärt ist und eine gute Auswahl an Zubehör für verschiedene Montagearten, was will man mehr. Man muss nur bedenken das der Automat nur für Granulat geeignet ist, ich hin sehr zufrieden.

Dieser Futterautomat hat absolut 5 Sterne verdient! Sehr gute Unterstützung, besonders wenn man mal in den Urlaub fährt. Die Bedienung ist sehr einfach und die Dosierung der Futtermenge lässt sich super einstellen.

Es empfiehlt sich jedoch den Automaten mit Granulat zu verwenden und nicht mit Flockenfutter. Ist das Granulat eher kleiner, sollte man eine geringere Dosierung einstellen.

Muy contento con el producto , muy practico y muy facil de configurar .

Yo lo uso para uno acuario con peces disco y como se tiene que alimentar 4 o 5 veces al dia es muy pratico y fiable .

Lo recomiendo 100 %

Der Futterautomat ist wirklich eine echte Empfehlung. Trotz der vielen Einstellungsmöglochkeiten ist er einfach in der Bedienung und für alle Arten von Futter geeignet. Man kann ihn sehr präzise und vielseitig einstellen.

Prodotto che utilizzo ormai da molto tempo per un dei miei acquari.

Di facile intuizione e sopratutto permette di non dimenticarsi mai di poter alimentare i nostri amati pesci.

Le batterie per mia precauzione le sostituisco una volta ogni due mesi e null’altro...per il resto fà tutto da sè

Eine klasse Unterstützung für die tägliche Fütterung.

Die Ersteinrichtung des Geräts ist wirklich sehr einfach und schnell erledigt.

Bei mir kommt das Gerät seit mehreren Monaten tagtäglich zum Einsatz und erledigt seine Aufgabe sehr zuverlässig. Zur Zeit verwende ich Granulat. Die Dosierung funktioniert einwandfrei.

Im Lieferumfang sind auch zwei Befestigungen enthalten, die ich jedoch nicht nutze.

Tipp: Stellt zu Beginn lieber wenige Rotationen ein, da die ausgegebene Futtermenge je nach Futter ansonsten zu groß ausfallen kann.

Tolle Erleichterung der Regelmäßigen Fütterung.

Ich benutze den Automaten jetzt ca. 4 Monate.

Ich füttere 4x täglich. Es sind immer noch die 1. Batterien drin.

Ich mische mein Futter im Futterautomaten. Es gehen Flocken, Sticks, Tubifix sowie alle möglichen Granulate einwandfrei durch.

4 Sterne weil ich die Bedienung gerne noch etwas besser haben würde. Ansich aber simpel und gut einstellbar.
