SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing this Cat Mate Electronic Pet
Feeder.
This feeder allows you to program up to 3 meals over a
24 hour period with the ability to vary the size of each
meal as required. In addition, the feeder will allow you to
serve meals in advance of their programmed times and
serve extra meals on demand. For pets with specific
dietary requirements (e.g. diabetic pets) there is a
'frequent feeding' option which will dispense a
programmed meal over a longer period of time.
To ensure your chosen settings cannot easily be
tampered with, the control buttons need to be pressed
firmly to operate.
If you start the set-up process and abandon it before
completion, the operating system will 'time out' after 60
seconds and the current time will be displayed.
Your feeder is manufactured from top quality materials
and is assembled to comply with rigorous quality
standards. However, we do recommend that before
unsupervised use, you supervise its correct operation
over a period of at least 3 days.
It is normal for this feeder to make a noise when serving
food. The noise may discourage timid pets at first, but
they will soon learn to associate the noise with feeding
time.
The feeder is designed for use with dry (not moist) foods
with a maximum pellet size of 16mm (
5
/
").

When leaving your pet, ensure adequate water and
toilet arrangements have been made. Pets, in
particular puppies and kittens, must not be left alone
for long periods without someone to check
periodically that all is well.

your feeder is available on YouTube or

2. Assembling the pet feeder
2.1 Remove hopper lid by pressing down lid (Arrow 1,
Fig. 1) and then lifting locking tabs on both sides
(Arrow 2, Fig. 1). Remove the feeding bowl, feeding
nozzle and feeding mechanism.
2.2 First, push the nozzle (C) in to the front aperture at
the base of the hopper (Fig. 1) until it clicks in to
position.
2.3 Insert the feeding mechanism in to the rear aperture
at the base of the hopper holding the metal arm
between finger and thumb, as shown in Fig. 4. Align
the hooked end of the feeding mechanism (E) with
the recess (I) in the rotating element of the of the
feeding nozzle (Fig. 5) before fully inserting the feed
mechanism in to the hopper until the retaining clip
clicks in to position. Fit assembled hopper to base
unit.
2.4 Fit the feeding bowl by locating the tab at the back
bowl in to the base unit and clicking the sprung clips
either side of the bowl in to position (Fig. 3).
3. Fitting the batteries
3.1 Lift the hopper out of the base unit.
3.2 Turn the base unit over and remove the battery cover
by releasing the retaining clip.
3.3 Insert 4 good quality alkaline 'C' batteries using the
orientation symbols marked in the bottom of the
battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
Good quality alkaline batteries should normally last
approximately 12 months (dependent on use). You
may use all popular batteries including rechargeable
and 1.5v lithium batteries but the low battery indicator
will only work correctly with standard alkaline
batteries.
4. Setting the clock
4.1 Press and hold the 'TIME' button (Fig. 2) for 5
seconds until the hour figure on the clock starts to
flash.
4.2 Press the '+' or '-' buttons to adjust the clock to the
correct hour. Hold down either the '+' or '-' button for
longer than 3 seconds to scroll through.
4.3 Press the 'TIME' button and the minute figure will
flash. Adjust the minutes using the '+' or '-' buttons.
4.4 Press the 'TIME' button to save the setting.
4.5 To change the clock between 12 hour (AM/PM) and
24 hour formats, press and hold the 'TIME' button
and within 3 seconds press the '+' button.
Wait 60 seconds for the display to stop flashing and the
clock to set before proceeding to the next step.
5. Setting meal times (Not required for Frequent
Feeding option - go to section 10)
5.1 Press and hold the 'TIME' button for 5 seconds until
the hour figure on the clock starts to flash.
5.2 Press the 'TIME' button twice - the hour figure and
the 'MEAL 1' indicator will flash.
5.3 Set the meal time in the same way as setting the
clock, by pressing the '+' or '-' buttons to adjust the
hours, press the 'TIME' button again and adjust the
minutes.
5.4 When the desired meal time is displayed press the
'TIME' button. Repeat 5.3 to set 'MEAL 2' and 'MEAL
3'.
NOTE: If only one (or two) meals per day are
required, the setting for 'MEAL 2' (and 'MEAL 3') are
not relevent.
5.5 When all meal times are programmed, save your
settings by pressing the 'TIME' button repeatedly
until the clock indicator displays.

6. Setting meal sizes
Many pets are overfed which is both expensive and
detrimental to your pet's health. We strongly
recommend that you check your dry food packaging
for the 'Daily Feeding Guide' giving information on
the quantity that is needed to maintain your pet's
health. As a guide, a meal size of 3 feed units will
approximate to around 30g or 1/4 cup in volume,
depending on the food type.
Set the meal sizes for each programmed meal time as
follows:
6.1 Press and hold the 'FEED' button for 5 seconds. The
letter 'F' next to two zeros ('00') will appear and flash
on the display. Press the '+' or '-' buttons to set the
number of feed units for this meal setting.
6.2 Press the 'FEED' button again to set the meal sizes
for 'MEAL 2' (and 'MEAL 3').
NOTE: Programming the feed units to two zeros
('00') denotes that the feed unit is set to 'off' and the
meal indicator will not be displayed when this
procedure is completed.
6.3 When all meal sizes are programmed, save your
settings by pressing the 'FEED' button.
Once the settings are saved, the clock indicator will be
shown and the programmed meal indicators will be
displayed under the respective food bowl icons (Fig. 2).
The indicator representing the next meal time due to be
served will flash.
7. Filling the hopper / feeding mechanism
7.1 Fill the hopper with a suitable quantity of dry food well
in excess of a daily amount. To maintain maximum
food freshness/appeal, we recommend that a
maximum of 10 days food is loaded.
7.2 Fill the feeding mechanism by pressing and holding
the 'FEED' button and within 3 seconds pressing and
holding the '+' button until the display shows '10'.
When feeding stops, press the 'TIME' button to
display the clock again. Return food in bowl to
hopper.
8. Extra feed (in addition to a Set Meal)
If you would like to serve your pet additional units of food
at any time, press the 'FEED' and '+' buttons together.
The feeder will dispense one unit of food. To serve a
number of units, keep both buttons held down and the
LCD will display the total number of units dispensed.
Release both buttons and the unit will complete its
current feed unit. The number of units dispensed will
remain displayed for 60 seconds.
9. Advance feed (serving the next Set Meal early)
If you would like to bring a programmed set meal forward,
press the 'FEED' and '-' buttons together. The feeder will
dispense the next programmed meal due and you may
now release both buttons. Once the advanced set meal
(e.g. MEAL 2) has been served the next programmed
meal indicator (i.e. MEAL 3) will flash on the display and
food will not be dispensed until that set time.
You may only advance meals programmed for the same
day.
10. Frequent feed (small feeds at regular intervals)
The Frequent Feed function allows the daily food
allowance to be served over the course of a day,
dispensing a single feed unit at a regular interval between
a programmed start and finish time. The function is
designed for pets with specific dietary requirements (e.g.
diabetic cats) or if you wish to regulate the speed of your
pet's food intake.
The start/finish times and the feed units can be
programmed as follows:
10.1 Press and hold the 'TIME' and 'FEED' buttons
together for 5 seconds until the Frequent Feed
indicator ('F') appears on the LCD (Fig. 2).
10.2 Press and hold the 'TIME' button for 5 seconds until
the hour figure on the clock starts to flash.
10.3 Press the 'TIME' button twice - the hour figure and
the 'MEAL 1' (start time) indicator will flash.
10.4 Set the start time in the same way as setting the
clock, by pressing the '+' or '-' buttons to adjust the
hours, then pressing the 'TIME' button again to
adjust the minutes.
10.5 Press the 'TIME' button. The 'MEAL 3' (finish time)
indicator will flash. Repeat 10.4 to set the finish
time.
10.6 Press the 'TIME' button, the letter 'F' next to two
zeros ('00') will appear and flash on the display.
Press the '+' or '-' buttons to set the total daily feed
units. (6 feed units will approximate to around 60g
or 1/2 cup in volume, depending on the food type.)
10.7 Press the 'TIME' button to save these settings.
The LCD will return to displaying the clock with the
'Frequent Feed', 'MEAL 1' and 'MEAL 3' indicators
displayed.
To review, press the 'TIME' button once to view the start
time and again for the finish time. Press again to view the
feed units and press finally to return to the clock.
To return the feeder to standard operation, press and
hold the 'TIME' and 'FEED' buttons together for
5 seconds. The 'Frequent Feed' indicator will disappear
and the clock will be displayed along with the meal
indicators of any previously saved settings programmed.
11. Turning the feeder off and on
To turn off the feeder and keep the programmed settings:
11.1 Press and hold the '+' and '-' buttons together for 5
seconds until 'OFF' is displayed on the LCD.
To turn the feeder back on:
11.2 Press and hold the '+' and '-' buttons together for 5
seconds until LCD displays the clock and the set
meal indicators.
12. Changing the batteries
When the low battery indicator (Fig. 2.) flashes on the
LCD, the batteries need replacing.
IMPORTANT:
• To keep the clock and all the meal settings, you
must remove and replace all of the batteries within
60 seconds! The low battery indicator should
disappear when the next meal is served.
• DO NOT press any buttons during the removal or
replacement of the batteries. Doing so will reset the
unit and you will need to re-programme your
settings.
