ABOUT THE FEEDER ACTIVATOR
Instructions for the Feeder Activator
THANK YOU for your purchase of the Feeder Activator, a
top quality Moultrie product. Please read this sheet before
assembling the unit. If you should have any questions about
this or any other Moultrie product, please contact us using the
information on the reverse side of this sheet. To help us to
better serve you, please complete and mail the enclosed
Warranty Card.
The Feeder Activator allows a feeder motor to be remotely
activated from up to 300 feet away.
The Feeder Activator consists of a Receiver that mounts in
your wildlife feeder and a Handheld Transmitter.
When the button is pressed on the Transmitter, a signal is
sent to the Receiver which activates the Feeder motor for a
period of five seconds.
The Transmitter is powered from a 12 volt Remote Control
Battery (Radio Shack #23-154) and the Receiver is powered
from your 6 volt Feeder Battery.
The Feeder Activator works with most 6 volt wildlife
feeders that meet the following requirements:
a) When the battery is installed in the feeder, the positive
and negative contacts are exposed and accessible - enabling
the connection of the Feeder Activator power wires (with
alligator clips).
b) The two wires that run between the feeder circuit board
and the motor are accessible - enabling the connection of
the Feeder Activator motor wires.
The Feeder Activator may be used in a metal Feeder
enclosure if the Antenna Wire can be routed outside the
box.
